Summary

Finch Flat File is a new beta feature designed to simplify access to employment data from HRIS and payroll systems for organizations with limited technical resources, eliminating the need for complex API integrations. Traditionally, data sharing involved cumbersome SFTP integrations or manual uploads, but Finch Flat File streamlines this process by allowing data retrieval from over 30 providers without extensive setup. Users can log into the Finch Dashboard to generate links, connect providers, and receive standardized data files via SFTP, bypassing lengthy onboarding and manual administration. This feature offers the advantages of data standardization, easier authentication, and broader integration support, enabling companies to access Finch's Unified Employment API benefits without the need for significant development resources.
