    🌟 This will run and list all employees, and for each employee, it will check if it exists in When I Work, if an employee does not exist, it will create a new user seat for them.

  16. & you're all set with running the recipe package!

FAQS: 

  1. How does this recipe integration check for existing employees? 
    1. The recipe continually cross-references the employee's email address and phone number. It is essential for employees to have the same email registered in both When I Work and GoCo for seamless synchronization.
  2. Why am I receiving an error message that shows "500 Internal Server Error"
    1. This means you have reached the maximum amount of users in When I Work. There are a few reasons this could happen. 
      • You could have fewer seats in When I Work than you have employees in GoCo 
      • You have duplicated accounts in When I Work
        • A common duplication that occurs is when there is an employee that already exists inside of When I Work and during the first sync there is no employee ID number and the employee has a different email address and phone number in GoCo. This will create a new seat in When I Work.
