SFTP Employee Export
Customer IT / SpaceIQ Onboarding Team
In many cases, SiQ contains the most up-to-date information about the employees and other personnel (contractors, interns, part-time employees, etc.) available to an organization. SiQ also serves as the system of record for certain personnel-related information, such as seat assignment, that other enterprise systems may need.
This provides a high-level overview of how to set up SiQ to automatically export employee roster information to a customer’s SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) server.
SFTP Export (this article) and SFTP Import are two separate integration processes.

Export Schedule
SiQ exports employee data nightly (10am UTC / 2am PST / 5am EST ) and delivers it to your configured SFTP server location.
Integration Activities
Step 1. Customer's SFTP Server Setup
SiQ supports two methods of authentication with the customer’s SFTP server using:
- Username & Password
- Username and SSH Private Key (preferred method)
You need to set up the appropriate accounts and authentication method on your SFTP server. Setting up an SFTP server is outside the scope of this article, but search your host's knowledge base for support content on getting set up for the first time.
Step 2. Whitelist the Host IP
Contact your IT team with the host IP from SiQ, so they can whitelist the following host IP:
3.228.28.12
This will allow SiQ to send data to your SFTP server.
Step 3. Active the SFTP Export
From the SiQ Web App, complete the following:
- Click your Profile Name in the top right corner.
- Click Settings. The Settings screen displays.
- From the left menu, click Integrations.
- From the Third Party Integrations area, click the READ MORE link. The Integrations screen displays.
You can either search for SFTP in the Search field or navigate to SFTP tile. To navigate complete the following:
- From the left menu, click Employee Export.
- For SFTP, click the Activate button.
The SFTP dialog displays and it contains an Export (Password) tab and an Export (SSH Public Key) tab.
Depending on the authentication method you want to use, select either:
- Export (Password) tab
- Export (SSH Private Key) tab
Export (Password) Tab
Complete the fields:
- SFTP username
- SFTP password (or SSH private key)
- SFTP hostname
- SFTP port
- SSH connection timeout (in seconds)
Click the Activate button, the export integration is complete. Your exports will occur as per the schedule described above.
Import (SSH Private Key) Tab
Complete the fields:
- SFTP username
- SSH private key
- SFTP hostname
- SFTP port
Click the Activate button, the export integration is complete. Your exports will occur as per the schedule described above.
