Sesame HR is the all-in-one platform that helps companies manage their people — from time tracking and scheduling to contracts, vacations, recruitment, and beyond. Thousands of companies across Europe and Latin America rely on Sesame every day. The Sesame HR API opens that same power to your code. Connect your internal tools, sync data with your payroll provider, build custom dashboards, or automate the repetitive tasks that slow your HR team down.

Why use the API?

Whether you are a two-person startup or a 10,000-employee enterprise, the API lets you:
  • Eliminate double data entry — sync employees, contracts, and org charts with your ERP or payroll system in real time.
  • Build custom workflows — auto-assign shifts, trigger absence approvals, or create onboarding pipelines that match how your company actually works.
  • Centralize reporting — pull time tracking, vacation balances, and expense data into your own BI tools.
  • Extend the platform — build internal apps, Slack bots, or mobile experiences on top of Sesame data.
