In this example, we will create a simple workflow to synchronize employee records between Talent Manager and Quinyx.
First, choose the two (or more) apps you want to connect in the list on the left:

you

If you have more than one instance of an application registered, for example a test and a production environment, you can choose which one you wish to connect to.
| Note |

It is a good idea to use a test environment when you build a new integration, if your app supports it. See this article for more info: Using a test environment |
On the screen you will have the option to give the workflow a name and description:

Adding blocks

A workflow is made up of blocks. |
On the left, you will see a list of available blocks for the applications you have selected, as well as several generic blocks, including Mapper, Code and Join. (These will be described in more detail on page XX.
in separate articles.)
To start building the workflow, simply drag the blocks you want onto the canvas.
...
A block to update employees in Quinyx.
Amapper A mapper block to map data and fields between the two applications

Configuring blocks
If you click the blocks on the canvas, you will see each has settings that allows you to customize how it works, with some fields being marked as required information. These are specific for each application, with individual documentation.
Mapper block
Data coming out of one application will need to be reformatted before it is transferred to the destination application. That is where the Mapper block can be used.
...
Before we do the mapping, we need to some simple configuration for the application specific blocks.
Configuring blocks
If you click the blocks on the canvas, you will see each has settings that allows you to customize how it works, with some fields being marked as required information. These are specific for each application, with individual documentation.
When we click on Map Model, the Mapper block will ask the source and target blocks to give examples of the kind of data they use.
...
Save the mappings, and then save the workflow.
So, to summarize, our this workflow is going to get data out of the HR app, we are going to map it based on the mappings we created, and then we are going to load it into Quinyx.
