# Synchronizing Org Charts

Everything around talent management relies on knowing your organization's structure.  Fortunately, nearly all of our partner integrations support synchronizing the org chart (employees and teams and their hierarchy).  

For most customers this will be enough, but for those that need direct integration with their HRIS or external Directory, we have partnered with Merge.dev to provide a broader set of integrations.

### Working with Merge.dev

{% hint style="danger" %}
Today, connecting an HRIS through Merge requires contacting our support team to ensure that the connection is established and syncing correctly. &#x20;
{% endhint %}

Connecting to a broader set of HRIS integrations is just like working with any other [App](/guides/key-concepts/apps.md) in the Directory that manages your Talent Cloud. To start the connection process, you need to request a Magic Link from Merge.

```http
GET https://api.peoplelogic.dev/api/v1/app/merge/start-link
Authorization: Bearer {{yourOrgToken}}
```

Calling this endpoint will produce a Merge Magic Link that you can open in your browser.  Once you complete the connection process, it will produce a linked account token that you'll use to make the call below.

```http
POST https://api.peoplelogic.dev/api/v1/app
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {{yourOrgToken}}

{
  "type": "pl:sync:merge:hris",
  "internal": true,
  "name": "Demo Connection with MS Entra",
  "externalId": "entra-merge-hris",
  "secretData": {
    "accountToken": "{{entraLinkedAccountTokenFromMerge}}"
  }
}
```

A 201 response code indicates that the setup is complete.  Your employees will start to sync immediately into Merge and then to Peoplelogic.
