Integrations

Tribal Habits supports SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On, allowing users to access the portal via their organisation’s existing identity provider – such as Microsoft Azure AD/Entra, Okta, ADFS, or Salesforce. When SSO is enabled, users are redirected to the organisation’s SSO login page and, once authenticated, returned to Tribal Habits without needing a separate password. New users can be auto-provisioned in Tribal Habits on their first SSO login. A LOGIN field on each user profile controls whether they are Internal (SSO) or External (standard login) – enabling mixed environments where some users (e.g. contractors) bypass SSO. A control on the Security page allows admins to enable email alerts when an SSO user logs in using local Tribal Habits credentials rather than via SSO. Admins can also hide the local login fields on the portal’s login page behind a “show link,” reducing confusion for learners who should only use SSO – see Login Page Customisation.

Tribal Habits offers managed integrations with a range of HRIS, payroll, employee engagement, and identity platforms. All managed integrations are built, configured, and maintained by the Tribal Habits team on the customer’s behalf. Typical sync capability includes: new users created in Tribal Habits when approved in the HRIS, user data updated (name, location, job title, manager) when changed, terminated users deactivated. Some integrations also support syncing training completions back to the HRIS. Integrations are customisable for field mapping, user inclusion/exclusion filters, and error notifications. We support over 20 popular HRIS, Payroll, CRM and Identity Management platforms. Managed integrations are available on our Business plan for a small add-on cost.

Tribal Habits provides a RESTful Public API allowing organisations to build custom integrations between Tribal Habits and other platforms. The API supports operations across users (create, update, deactivate), enrolments (create, update, query), and topics (query). Full developer documentation is available online.

Tribal Habits has a dedicated Zapier integration, accessible via a separate Zapier API key (distinct from the Public API key). The Zapier integration allows organisations to connect Tribal Habits to thousands of third-party platforms via no-code automation workflows (Zaps). Typical use cases include triggering enrolments or user creation in Tribal Habits when events occur in another platform — for example, enrolling a new user when a record is created in a CRM, or notifying a Slack channel when a learner completes a topic. The Zapier API key is generated and managed in Admin > Account > Integrations.

Tribal Habits supports outbound webhooks that automatically send data payloads to an external HTTPS URL when specific events occur in the platform. Three webhook event types are available: Enrolment Created (triggered on any new topic or pathway enrolment), Enrolment Completed (triggered when any topic or pathway is completed), and Enrolment Deleted (triggered when an enrolment is unenrolled, including reset enrolments). Webhooks are created and managed by admins. Each webhook has a URL, optional notes, an enable/disable toggle, and a log view showing all past occurrences including date, target URL, response code, and payload.

LMS Link allows organisations to make a Tribal Habits topic available inside a third-party LMS via a SCORM 1.2 compatible file. The admin generates an LMS Link for a topic in Tribal Habits and downloads a small ZIP file. This ZIP file is a SCORM wrapper — not an export of the topic content itself. It is uploaded to the external LMS just like a standard SCORM package. When a learner launches the topic from the external LMS, the wrapper connects back to Tribal Habits, where the actual content is hosted and all learner data is recorded. Completion data is passed back to the external LMS. Each LMS Link has optional expiry date, usage limit optional notes. Usage via each LMS Link is reportable. Multiple LMS Links can be created per topic allowing one topic to be shared into multiple external LMSes. This feature is not included in any plan by default and requires a separate add-on.

Two content elements in Tribal Habits enable integration of external content directly into topics. The PDF element allows creators to upload a PDF file which is embedded and viewable inline within a topic — learners can read the document without leaving the platform. The Embed element allows creators to paste a URL to embed external web content directly into a topic — supporting YouTube videos, Google Maps, H5P interactive content, and any other embeddable URL. Both elements are available in the standard content editor alongside all other topic elements.

Tribal Habits supports OAuth2 authentication as a custom-configured alternative to SAML SSO. Standard OAuth2 integrations are available with partner platforms such as EmployeeConnect and Prosper. Where a customer runs their own OAuth2 provider, Tribal Habits can also integrate directly with that platform on request. Once configured, users authenticate via a “Login with [Partner]” button, are redirected to the OAuth2 provider, and are returned to Tribal Habits once authenticated – without a separate Tribal Habits password. New users are auto-provisioned in Tribal Habits on first login, the same as SSO. Unlike SSO, there is no Internal/External LOGIN field or mixed authentication model – all users configured for OAuth2 login are treated as internal and authenticate via the OAuth2 provider only.
