Automate account provisioning and employee changes

When employee records change in ClayHR, the connector can create accounts for new hires and update names, departments, titles, phone numbers, emails and organizational units. It matches existing accounts by work email or Employee ID, helping prevent duplicates. Returning employees can have their existing accounts re-enabled.
