| description | IRIS Cascade HR integration via Apideck's HRIS unified API — same methods work across every connector in HRIS, switch by changing `serviceId`. Use when the user wants to read or sync employees, departments, payrolls, and time-off records in IRIS Cascade HR. Routes through Apideck with serviceId "cascade-hr".

IRIS Cascade HR (via Apideck)
Access IRIS Cascade HR through Apideck's HRIS unified API — one of 58 HRIS connectors that share the same method surface. Code you write here ports to BambooHR, Workday, Deel and 54 other HRIS connectors by changing a single serviceId string. Apideck handles auth, pagination, rate limiting, and retries so you don't write per-tenant IRIS Cascade HR plumbing.
Quick facts
When to use this skill
Activate this skill when the user explicitly wants to work with IRIS Cascade HR — for example, "sync employees in IRIS Cascade HR" or "list time-off requests in IRIS Cascade HR". This skill teaches the agent:
- Which Apideck unified API covers IRIS Cascade HR (HRIS)
- The correct
serviceId to pass on every call (cascade-hr)
- IRIS Cascade HR-specific auth and coverage caveats
For the full method surface (parameters, pagination, filtering), use your language SDK skill:
For the raw OpenAPI spec:
Minimal example (TypeScript)
import { Apideck } from "@apideck/unify";
const apideck = new Apideck({
apiKey: process.env.APIDECK_API_KEY,
appId: process.env.APIDECK_APP_ID,
consumerId: "your-consumer-id",
});
const { data } = await apideck.hris.employees.list({
serviceId: "cascade-hr",
});
Portable across 58 HRIS connectors
The Apideck HRIS unified API exposes the same methods for every connector in its catalog. Switching from IRIS Cascade HR to another HRIS connector is a one-string change — no rewrite, no new SDK.
await apideck.hris.employees.list({ serviceId: "cascade-hr" });
await apideck.hris.employees.list({ serviceId: "bamboohr" });
await apideck.hris.employees.list({ serviceId: "workday" });
This is the compounding advantage of using Apideck over integrating IRIS Cascade HR directly: code against the unified HRIS API once, gain access to every connector in it. New connectors Apideck adds become available to your app without code changes.
Authentication
- Type: OAuth 2.0
- Managed by: Apideck Vault — Apideck handles the full OAuth dance (authorization code flow, token exchange, refresh). Never ask the user for API keys or tokens directly.
- User setup: Users authorize via the Vault modal. Connection state progresses
available → added → authorized → callable.
- Token refresh: automatic. Expired tokens are refreshed transparently on the next API call.
See apideck-best-practices for Vault setup, connection lifecycle, and handling re-auth flows.
Verifying coverage
Not every HRIS operation is supported by every connector. Always verify before assuming a method works:
curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/connector/connectors/cascade-hr' \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${APIDECK_API_KEY}" \
-H "x-apideck-app-id: ${APIDECK_APP_ID}"
See apideck-connector-coverage for patterns around UnsupportedOperationError and connector-specific fallbacks.
Escape hatch: Proxy API
When an endpoint isn't covered by the HRIS unified API, use Apideck's Proxy to call IRIS Cascade HR directly — Apideck injects auth headers and handles token refresh. Set x-apideck-downstream-url to the target endpoint on IRIS Cascade HR's own API:
curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/proxy' \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${APIDECK_API_KEY}" \
-H "x-apideck-app-id: ${APIDECK_APP_ID}" \
-H "x-apideck-consumer-id: ${CONSUMER_ID}" \
-H "x-apideck-service-id: cascade-hr" \
-H "x-apideck-downstream-url: <target endpoint on IRIS Cascade HR>" \
-H "x-apideck-downstream-method: GET"
See IRIS Cascade HR's API docs for available endpoints.
Sibling connectors
