Is there a way to add more items to the API call in the Dayforce Connector to include additional Employee Attributes? We have a use case where we want to use the EmployeeProperties expander but it does not look like there is a way to include that in the Request Parameters for the API call.
The Current Call is Employees/:xRefCode?expand=EmploymentStatuses,EmploymentTypes,Contacts,Locations,OrgUnitInfos,Roles,EmployeeManagers,WorkAssignments,Addresses

I have recently implemented an integration with DayForce which was our Authz Source.
Just to give you some background.
We initially decided to use the OOTB DayForce SAAS Connector and we eventually went ahead with it.
But, unfortunately, when we started configuring the connector as per requirements, we came to know that not all the attributes can be aggregated from DayForce to ISC using OOTB connector apart from listed once in the documents
Hence, we have used the following approach.
DayForce has capability to generate and extract a CSV File with all the required attributes could be configured in it.
Therefore, we used SQL Loader connector where the connector connected with SFTP endpoint which consisted of DayForce FlatFile exported from DayForce application.
Then, for Writeback, we used “AfterCreateAD Connector Rule“ where we performed the DayForce API call to perform writeback on all the required attribute.
Hence, you can use OOTB connector but not all attributes can be extracted apart from the once which are mentioned in the document. Using SQL Loader or Delimited File source is much easier option. You can also go ahead with WebService based connector provided you perform a proper POC.
So there is not an easy way to add that extra parameter to the API call that SailPoint makes? Would you be able to edit the url with a SaaS customizer?
Yes, you can use that as per below documentations using using DayForce SAAS Connector.
We did not use the option above because the ETA of development was bigger and customer required delivery in a week. Hence, using SQL Loader Connector/Delimited File Connector was a good option. But, you can try Saas Customizer for sure.
