# Manage HireData People From an Automation

> Add, update, find and delete the people in HireData from an automation. Replaces Sync Person in the new automation builder. Part of the HireData beta.

HireData keeps its own list of [people](https://help.hiredata.com/pages/people.md): the candidates, contacts and colleagues you work with. Your automations can now add, update, find and delete these people directly, with the same steps you use for other records.

> [!NOTE]
>
> This is part of the HireData beta and works in the [new automation builder](https://help.hiredata.com/automations/engine-1-3.md). It replaces the **Sync Person** step for new automations.

## Keep your people list up to date

In a new automation, click **+**. Choose **Add** or **Update** under **Records**, or **Delete** under **Lifecycle**, and pick **HireData** and **Person**.

![The Add Person step showing the Basic information section with first name, last name, initials and prefix](https://mintcdn.com/hiredata/CtjOH-o8W5dnaa_1/images/beta/add-hiredata-person.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=CtjOH-o8W5dnaa_1\&q=85\&s=2d1e7d53a719f07bc61fe5961743c0b8)

The Add Person step, with the person's details grouped in sections.

### 1. Add and update people

Fill in every field that Sync Person could write, including **addresses** and **UTM campaign** details that show where someone came from.

### 2. Find the right person

Use [Find](https://help.hiredata.com/automations/look-up-records.md) with filters to choose which person a step changes. The run history shows the names of the people it found.

### 3. Delete with care

Deleting a person is **permanent**. If you undo a step that added a person, HireData deletes that person again.

## What else to know

* **Sync Person** isn't offered in new automations anymore. Automations that already use it keep running.
* **Test with a test person first**, so you don't change or delete someone by mistake.

## Check it out yourself

Create a new automation in [Automations](https://app.hiredata.com/automations), click **+**, choose **Add** under **Records** and pick **HireData** and **Person**.
