How to Integrate TraineryXchange with Your HRIS, LMS, and Productivity Tools

TraineryXchange integrates with external systems via four mechanisms: LTI 1.3 (for connecting to existing LMS platforms like Workday, Cornerstone, TalentLMS, and Docebo), SCORM and xAPI (for content delivery and completion tracking), HRIS directory sync (for employee account management with BambooHR, Workday, and Rippling), and webhook-based notifications (for Slack and Microsoft Teams alerts on training completions and deadlines). Single sign-on via SAML 2.0 or OAuth 2.0 is supported for organizations requiring SSO for compliance or security reasons.

Connecting TraineryXchange to Your Existing LMS If your organization already has an LMS that employees use for other training programs, you can connect TraineryXchange content to it via LTI 1.3. This means employees access TraineryXchange content from within their existing LMS interface without switching platforms.

Supported LMS platforms via LTI 1.3:

  • Workday Learning - LTI configuration in Workday admin settings under Learning Configuration
  • SAP SuccessFactors - LTI setup in the Learning Administration console
  • Cornerstone OnDemand - LTI integration via the Cornerstone Edge marketplace
  • TalentLMS - LTI connection in the Integrations section of admin settings
  • Docebo - LTI tool connection via the App and Features marketplace
  • Moodle - LTI external tool configuration in Site Administration
  • Absorb LMS - LTI connection via the Absorb Infuse integration panel

What LTI integration enables:

Learners launch TraineryXchange content from within your LMS without a separate login. Completion data passes back to your LMS via SCORM or xAPI. Certificates can be generated in TraineryXchange and completion records appear in your LMS reporting. Administrators manage enrollments from the LMS and content from TraineryXchange.

HRIS Directory Sync for Employee Management Manually maintaining employee accounts in a training platform is one of the highest-overhead administrative tasks in L&D. When an employee joins, changes roles, or leaves, their training account needs to be created, updated, or deactivated. Without HRIS sync, this happens manually, creating gaps and errors.

Supported HRIS platforms for directory sync:

  • BambooHR - sync employee directory including department, role, manager, and status
  • Workday - sync employee records via Workday Studio or REST API connector
  • Rippling - automated sync via Rippling's App Shop integration
  • ADP Workforce Now - CSV-based sync on a scheduled cadence
  • Gusto - CSV export sync for smaller teams

What HRIS sync enables:

New employees are automatically provisioned in TraineryXchange when they are added to the HRIS. Role changes trigger learning path reassignment based on the new role profile. Departing employees are automatically deactivated, preserving their completion records without maintaining an active account. Language preference from HRIS records determines which content language version is delivered.

Integration Category 3:

Productivity Tool Notifications Training completion rates improve significantly when notifications appear in the tools employees use every day. A training reminder buried in an email inbox competes with hundreds of other messages. A notification that appears in Slack or Microsoft Teams reaches employees in their primary work environment.

Slack integration:

TraineryXchange sends automated Slack notifications via webhook for: new course assignments, upcoming deadline reminders, manager alerts for incomplete team members, and completion confirmations. Notifications include a direct link to launch the course from within the Slack message.

Microsoft Teams integration:

The Teams integration delivers the same notification types via Microsoft Teams channels or direct messages. For organizations where Teams is the primary communication platform, this brings training prompts into the environment where employees spend most of their working hours.

Integration Category 4:

Single Sign-On (SSO) SSO allows employees to access TraineryXchange using their existing organizational credentials without a separate username and password. This removes a friction point from the training access experience and supports security policies that require centralized identity management.

Supported SSO protocols:

  • SAML 2.0 - compatible with Okta, Microsoft Azure AD, OneLogin, and Ping Identity
  • OAuth 2.0 - compatible with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365

SSO setup requires coordination between your IT team (to configure the identity provider) and your TraineryXchange admin (to enter the SSO configuration in the platform settings). Most SSO setups are completed in under two hours.
