Employee Fields
Employee fields are the backbone of how Introist understands and works with your people data.
They store the information that drives your automations — from basic details like name and start date to custom values like training completion date, buddy assigned, or anniversary gift preference.
Employee fields can:
- Store both standard and custom data about employees.
- Be used as triggers, filters, or dynamic content in workflows.
- Pull values automatically from integrated systems or be updated manually.
- Be tracked for changes over time to trigger specific actions.
By organizing and managing your employee fields, you ensure that automations always run with accurate and up-to-date information.
Typical examples of employee fields:
- Text: Job Title, Department, Manager Name
- Date: Start Date, Contract End Date, Next Review Date
- Number: Salary Bracket, Performance Score
- Select: Office Location, Employment Type
