Quick Start
This section provides steps for creating a sample application in your development environment to hire an employee in a Canadian-based company.
Prerequisites
In order to use the service, you will need the following items:
- UKG Pro Web user account and password
- User API key and Customer API key from the UKG Pro Web service administrative page
Methods
This section introduces the API methods for the Employee New Hire Web Service.
NewHireCanada
This method provides a way to hire an employee to a Canadian-based company in UKG Pro. You must provide the minimum required fields listed in the new hire object in order to successfully hire an employee.
Generate the Service Reference
Once you have a user and API keys, you need to create a service reference to the Login Service and the Canadian New Hire service. In your development environment, add the service references.
In Visual Studio, select the Add Service Reference menu item from the Project menu. Once you enter the service information, you should have the references display in the Solution Explorer.
Created service reference
The following code is an example of adding a new employee in a console application.
Copy the entire contents to a C# console application and update the following values to build an operable application.
UserName = "YOUR WEB USER NAME ";
Password = "YOUR PASSWORD";
UserAPIkey = "YOUR USER API KEY";
CustomerAPIkey = "YOUR CUSTOMER API KEY";
