HR Nodes
HR Nodes enable workflows to interact with human resource systems, employee directories, and organizational administration tools.
These integrations help automate onboarding, user provisioning, role assignments, and key HR-related operational tasks.
Whether you’re managing internal accounts or synchronizing employee data across different systems, HR Nodes provide the automation foundation needed for efficient workforce operations.
What Problems Do HR Nodes Solve?
Human resources processes often involve repetitive tasks and require consistency across multiple tools.
HR Nodes streamline these processes by automating user and employee management tasks, eliminating manual steps, and ensuring accurate data synchronization.
With HR Nodes, you can:
✔ Automate User Provisioning
Create, update, and manage employee accounts without manual work.
✔ Keep Organizational Data Consistent
Sync user information across internal systems and prevent data mismatches.
✔ Streamline Onboarding & Offboarding
Automatically handle account creation, permissions, and cleanup workflows.
✔ Enhance Security & Compliance
Ensure correct access levels, remove outdated accounts, and maintain audit trails.
✔ Reduce Administrative Overhead
Minimize repetitive tasks like group assignments, profile updates, or role management.
What’s Included in HR Nodes?
This category includes two widely used platforms for managing people and organizational data:
Google Workspace Admin
Tools for managing users, groups, organizational units, and administrative controls within Google Workspace.
Odoo
HR-related actions within Odoo, such as employee records, departments, or access control operations depending on configuration.
Together, these nodes support both cloud-based directory management and ERP-driven workforce operations.
When Should You Use HR Nodes?

- Create or manage employee accounts
- Update profile information or organizational units
- Assign or revoke roles, groups, or access levels
- Handle onboarding steps automatically
- Clean up accounts when employees leave
- Sync user data between multiple systems
- Trigger workflows based on HR events (e.g., new hire submitted via form)
Example Use Cases

✔ Access Level Automation
Employee transfer event → move user to new department → adjust permissions automatically.
