The platform connects with existing LMSs and names Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, and Google Calendar integrations. Listed HRIS connections include BambooHR, HiBob, and ADP, which can automate onboarding and offboarding. SSO via SAML 2.0 and OIDC is included on all plans.

Customers can register any number of users and pay for those who log in at least once in a month.
