Zoho People Biometric Attendance Integration

Biometric attendance that syncs straight into Zoho People

Keep Zoho People as your HR system and let eSSL, Biomax and ZKTeco terminals do the punching. eSamsSoft collects punches from the devices over ADMS push and sends the check-in / check-out times to Zoho People attendance - automatically, on a schedule you choose.

Why teams connect biometric devices to Zoho People

Zoho People has no native driver for most Indian biometric terminals, so HR teams export CSV files every day and re-upload them. That is slow, error-prone and breaks regularization and payroll cut-offs.

eSamsSoft removes that step: the device talks to the cloud, we apply your shifts, grace time and holidays, and the punches land in Zoho People by themselves.

What the Zoho People integration does

  • Secure connection with your Zoho data centre (India, US, EU, AU, JP) using OAuth - Client ID, secret and refresh token, or import the credentials JSON file.
  • Biometric ID mapping: link every employee's device PIN to the Zoho Employee ID or e-mail; auto-match from Zoho or import the employee list from Zoho People.
  • Push check-in / check-out for any date range, or switch on the schedule (every N minutes) and forget about it.
  • Automatic cron or web-cron endpoint, push log with success / failure per employee and date, safe retries - nothing is pushed twice.
  • Works together with shifts, rosters, holidays, leave and mobile punches in eSamsSoft - Zoho receives the final, validated times.

How it works in 3 steps

  • Point the eSSL / Biomax / ZKTeco device to your eSamsSoft workspace address (Cloud Server / ADMS setting).
  • Open Utilities - Zoho People, save the credentials and map employees.
  • Turn on the schedule. Punches appear in Zoho People attendance within minutes.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which Zoho People attendance data is pushed?

Check-in and check-out times per employee and day, mapped through the biometric ID / Zoho employee ID. You can push a date range manually or on a schedule.

Do I need a developer to connect Zoho People?

No. Create a Self Client in the Zoho API console, paste the Client ID, secret and refresh token (or upload the JSON file) and press "Save & test".

Does it work with eSSL, Biomax and ZKTeco devices?

Yes - any terminal that supports ADMS push (iClock protocol) can send punches to eSamsSoft, which then forwards them to Zoho People.

Can I keep payroll in Zoho Payroll?

Yes. Zoho keeps payroll and leave; eSamsSoft is the attendance front-end that feeds it. You can also use the built-in payroll if you prefer one system.
