This guide walks you through connecting your Sage People account to LiveRem so we can pull through employee and remuneration data for role mapping and salary benchmarking.
Sage People runs on Salesforce, so the connection goes through a Salesforce Connected App that your Salesforce administrator sets up once and reuses for the LiveRem integration.
Before you start
You'll need:
Admin access to your LiveRem account
Salesforce administrator access to the Salesforce org that runs your Sage People instance
Your Salesforce domain (e.g.
yourcompany.my.salesforce.com)
Step 1 — Create a Connected App in Salesforce
In Salesforce, go to Setup → Apps → App Manager and click New Connected App.
Give it a name (for example LiveRem Integration) and a contact email.
Tick Enable OAuth Settings.
Set the Callback URL to:
https://app.liverem.com/auth.htmlUnder Selected OAuth Scopes, add at minimum:
Access and manage your data (api)
Perform requests on your behalf at any time (refresh_token, offline_access)
Save the Connected App.
Salesforce usually takes a few minutes to provision the app. Once it's ready, open the app and copy the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret — you'll paste these into LiveRem in step 4. Treat the Consumer Secret like a password.
Step 2 — Open the integrations page in LiveRem
Log in to LiveRem as an administrator.
Navigate to Settings → Integrations.
Click Add an integration.
You'll see a list of supported payroll and HR providers.
Step 3 — Select Sage People
Scroll to Sage People in the integrations list and click Connect.
Step 4 — Enter your connection details
Fill in the five fields:
Display Name | A label for this connection (e.g. Sage People — Main Entity). Useful if you connect more than one Sage People org. |
Assign to Sub-Organisation | Select the LiveRem sub-organisation you want this Sage People data to populate. If you only have one organisation in LiveRem, choose your top-level entity. |
Salesforce Domain | Your Salesforce org URL (e.g. |
Client ID | The Consumer Key from your Salesforce Connected App. |
Client Secret | The Consumer Secret from your Salesforce Connected App. |
Click Connect. LiveRem will redirect you to Salesforce to authorise the app, then back to LiveRem.
Step 5 — Confirm the connection
Once Salesforce successfully authorises the app, you'll see Sage People listed on the integrations screen with a 1 connected badge underneath the provider name.
What happens next
LiveRem will begin its initial sync of employee and remuneration data from Sage People. Depending on the size of your organisation, this can take from a few minutes up to a couple of hours.
Once the sync completes, your roles will be ready for mapping and your salaries will start feeding into benchmarks.
Future syncs run automatically — you don't need to re-enter the credentials unless your Salesforce administrator regenerates the Consumer Secret.
Connecting multiple Sage People instances
If your organisation has more than one Sage People instance (for example, separate Salesforce orgs per region), repeat steps 3–5 for each one. Use the Display Name field to clearly distinguish them, and assign each to the correct Sub-Organisation in LiveRem. See Sub-organisations and connecting multiple integrations for more on how multiple connections work.
