What will this integration enable within Nourish?

The integration provides a one-way sync from Planday to Better Care, where Planday is the source of truth for staff information.

Key functionalities include:

● Creating new employees in Better Care when they are added in Planday

● Updating employee details when information changes in Planday

● Deactivating or archiving staff in Better Care when they are removed from a

linked Planday department

● Mapping Planday departments to Better Care services

● Filtering employees to be included in the sync

● Assigning an initial Better Care role from Planday**

● Receiving notifications when a staff member cannot be created or updated

What information will be available within the Interaction?

The following information is synced from Planday to Nourish in real time:

● First and last name

● Email address

● Phone number

● Date of birth

● Service*

● Role**

Important:

*When a staff member is removed from a linked Planday department, the corresponding staff record is archived in the corresponding service in Better Care.
​

** The role is assigned for new employees in Planday in order to sync them to Better Care. Any subsequent updates to the role should happen in Better Care.

How do I get started?

Before you start

Make sure you have:

● Administrator access to both your Planday and Better Care accounts

● Access to the Better Care services you want to connect

● A clear understanding of which Planday departments should map to each Better

Care service

● An agreed approach for which employee groups and employee types should be

included

● The appropriate Better Care roles available for the staff you want to sync

● We recommend reviewing your department structure, staff filters, and role setup

before initiating the integration.

Set up the integration

Step 1: Find the Nourish integration

● Go to settings > integrations

● Search for “Nourish” or go to the HR category

● Click “Set up” on the Nourish tile

Step 2: Connect your Nourish services

● Click “Add service” and put the generated token into your Nourish extensions.

Please note that each token should only be used for one service.

● Once the tokens have been put into Nourish, they should show as “connected”

and display the name of the connected home.

Step 3: Map Planday departments to Nourish services

● On the next screen, select which Planday departments (right side) should be

connected to each Nourish service (left side). Review these mappings carefully

as an employee membership to a department affects which Nourish services

they are included in.

Step 4: Import and match staff

● The next window shows the employees already available in Nourish. You can

match them to existing Planday employees or create new ones. Review the

different selections to ensure they match your expectations, as Planday

information will overwrite Nourish data going forward.

● Note that on matching these users you will need to ensure that the Planday user

gets assigned a valid set of departments which you mapped to your services.

Step 5: Choose which employees to sync

● Select whether to sync all employees in mapped departments or apply filters to

exclude certain employee groups or types.

Step 5: Assign Nourish roles

● Select the correct initial Nourish role for each employee.

Step 7: Review and confirm the setup

● Review the mapping of Planday departments to Nourish services, the employees included, and the roles assigned. Click confirm setup when satisfied.

FAQs

Why is my employee not syncing to Nourish?

If an employee is not synced to Nourish it can be due to multiple reasons:

The employee doesn’t fit the defined filters - double check their employment

type and employee group

● The employee has not had a role assigned - make sure to check that a role

has been selected for this employee, as this will otherwise block us from

creating them in Nourish

● The employee is not in a department that has been linked to a Nourish service - double check that at least one of the departments assigned to the employee has been mapped to a Nourish service

I have added a new Nourish service - how do I add this to the integration

You can add more services by going to the integration settings. In Planday go to settings > integrations > Nourish > set-up > services > “Connect another care home”
