Connecting Integrations
Set up HRIS imports, communication platform connections, Signal Hub snapshot mode, and ERP telemetry.
Integrations are configured in Settings → Integrations. Each connection is independent — you can connect one source at a time and add more as your rollout matures. No integration is required to use Cursus, but more connected sources produce more accurate organizational intelligence.
HRIS: file upload
The fastest way to get organizational structure into Cursus is a CSV or Excel export from your HRIS.
Go to Settings → Integrations → HRIS → Upload File. The minimum required columns are:
- Employee ID
- Full name
- Department
- Manager employee ID
- Location
Optional columns (recommended): job title, job family, cost center, hire date, employment type.
Cursus maps your column headers automatically. Review the mapping before confirming the import. Uploads process in the background — you'll receive a notification when complete. Re-upload at any time to refresh the structure; historical records are preserved.
HRIS: API connection
For supported platforms (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, BambooHR), a direct API connection enables automatic nightly sync. Contact your Cursus account team for setup — API connections require configuration on both sides.
Signal Hub: Snapshot Mode
If you are not yet ready to connect ambient data sources, Signal Hub's Snapshot Mode allows practitioners to manually enter point-in-time organizational data:
- Survey result summaries
- Sentiment assessments from interviews or focus groups
- Adoption metrics from other tools
- Change readiness assessment scores
Snapshot Mode data feeds the same intelligence dashboards as continuous signals. It's clearly labeled with data source attribution so you and Lumen can see that a metric is based on a practitioner-entered snapshot rather than a live integration.
Switch from Snapshot Mode to continuous signals at any time — the platform reconciles both data types in the same timeline.
Communication platform connections
Available connections: Microsoft Teams, Outlook (via Microsoft Graph), Slack, Google Workspace.
What each connection collects by default (metadata only):
- Message frequency and direction between individuals and groups
- Channel and thread participation patterns
- Response time distributions
What is never collected without a separate, explicit content opt-in: message text, subject lines, file content, meeting notes.
To connect a platform, go to Settings → Integrations → [Platform] and follow the OAuth or service account setup flow. Communication platform connections require admin consent from your organization's Microsoft 365, Slack, or Google Workspace administrator.
ERP telemetry
ERP telemetry tracks system adoption during and after a technology change. Supported platforms: SAP, Oracle, Workday, Salesforce.
What's collected: login frequency, feature/module usage, error rates. What's not collected: transaction data, financial records, or any business data.
Telemetry data feeds the E-C Matrix energy dimension and the absorptive capacity index. It is the most reliable lagging indicator of actual adoption.
What happens when you connect each source
| Source | Feeds into |
|---|---|
| HRIS | Org structure, hierarchy scoping, stakeholder group membership |
| Communication metadata | Network Intelligence (ONA), E-C energy signals, influence mapping |
| Calendar metadata | Capacity signals, meeting load in change load score |
| ERP telemetry | Adoption tracking, E-C energy, absorptive capacity |
| Survey responses | E-C commitment dimension, climate scores, readiness calibration |
