People and User object

Q&A

Do we have any database relationship between the People and User objects in Deel?

What exactly is the difference between the People and User objects?

Thank you

Hi @Ghana,

People and User refers to the same data in Public API, the difference is that we call Users in SCIM endpoints and People for REST endpoints.

@guilherme_deel Thank you for the quick response. Could you let me know your recommendation on which API I should use between People (REST API) or User (SCIM)? I didn’t understand why we have Users in SCIM endpoints when we have a REST API to pull the data.

We are trying to push this data from Deel to Salesforce using middleware (MuleSoft). We would like to create a user in Salesforce as soon as an employee is onboarded in the Deel system by syncing all data to Salesforce.

Is my understanding below correct?

  • People Data: To sync employee-specific data like personal information, job title, department, etc., I should use the People (REST API) from Deel.
  • User Data: To create user accounts in Salesforce based on the employee information (e.g., username, roles, permissions), I should use the User (SCIM API) from Deel

Yes that’s correct. You can check this guide too: ttps://developer.deel.com/docs/using-the-deel-scim-api-for-user-provisioning
