Why teams connect Airtable and Ukg Pro

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Airtable and Ukg Pro share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Ukg Pro is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Airtable is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Compensation Details, Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings), Terminations, Configuration Setup (Code Tables) in Ukg Pro need to exist as queryable Fields, Views, Linked records, Attachments in Airtable before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Fields, Views, Linked records, Attachments in Airtable with Compensation Details, Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings), Terminations, Configuration Setup (Code Tables) in Ukg Pro field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ukg Pro typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push CRM accounts and deals into an Airtable base so operations teams can manage pipelines and enrichment without CRM licenses.
  • 02 Write cleaned records edited in Airtable back to the source system of record, keeping both sides consistent in near real time.
  • 03 Replicate Compensation and pay-statement / earnings history into a warehouse for headcount, labor-cost, and payroll reporting without manual BI exports.
  • 04 Deprovision accounts by subscribing to UKG Pro termination and job-change webhook events to disable IdP and app access as changes become effective.

Common sync patterns

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Ukg Pro land as queryable Fields, Views, Linked records, Attachments in Airtable, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

One directory of record

When a person record is added, changed, or deactivated in either system, the matching row in the other stays current, ending dual maintenance.

Reporting and analytics on current data

Compensation Details, Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings), Terminations, Configuration Setup (Code Tables) replicate into Airtable where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

What you can sync between Airtable and Ukg Pro

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Airtable objects Ukg Pro objects How this pairing syncs
Attachments File fields exposed as expiring URLs that syncs can mirror to other systems. Time & Attendance (UTA) Timekeeping and worked-hours data exposed by the UTA services; synced into scheduling, payroll, or workforce-analytics databases. Attachments is specific to Airtable and Time & Attendance (UTA) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collaborators User fields useful for mapping record ownership to accounts in a CRM or database. Employee (Person Details) Core worker record with demographics and identifiers; read by listing employee IDs then fetching each profile, and created on hire via the personnel/onboarding endpoints. Collaborators is specific to Airtable and Employee (Person Details) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bases Top-level containers; each base has its own API endpoint and schema. Employment Details Employment status, hire and service dates, and company assignment; the record that drives active/terminated state for provisioning downstream. Bases is specific to Airtable and Employment Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Map to sync tables; schema is readable through the base metadata endpoints. Job / Position History Effective-dated job, position, department, supervisor, location, and cost center; the most-synced record for org charts, provisioning, and analytics. Tables is specific to Airtable and Job / Position History to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Records The row-level unit created, updated, and deleted during syncs, identified by rec-prefixed IDs. Compensation Details Effective-dated pay rate and salary; usually read into a warehouse for comp reporting and writable as new dated changes through the compensation endpoints. Records is specific to Airtable and Compensation Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Fields Typed columns including linked records, lookups, and rollups; computed fields are read-only in syncs. Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) Pay statements, direct-deposit accounts, and earnings history; read-only pay data replicated into finance and warehouse systems for labor-cost reporting. Fields is specific to Airtable and Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Airtable and Ukg Pro

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Airtable Ukg Pro Sub-second propagation

DetectionAirtable pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks).

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Ukg Pro through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Ukg Pro Airtable Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Pro notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Airtable through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Airtable: The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.
  • Ukg Pro: An API gateway throttles calls per client over a rolling window (typically per minute); UKG does not publish exact numeric thresholds. Exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429, and UKG recommends a roughly one-second looping backoff before resuming (a Retry-After header is not yet standard). Reads are offset-paginated.

How the Airtable and Ukg Pro connectors work

Airtable

Integration surface
REST API (per-base Web API plus metadata and webhooks endpoints)
Authentication
OAuth (Airtable OAuth grant to specific bases or all resources); the authorizing user must have a `creator` role, since only creator roles can create webhooks
Change detection
Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks); formula fields don't emit change events and are re-synced every hour
Capabilities
read · write · CDC · webhooks
Rate limits
The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.
Airtable setup guide

Ukg Pro

Integration surface
REST API (UKG Pro HCM REST services) with separate Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs, plus legacy SOAP-based UKG Pro Web Services
Authentication
Core HCM REST APIs use HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated web service account, plus a Customer API Key and a User API Key sent as headers (found under System Configuration > Security > Service Account Administration); the Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs instead require a bearer Authorization Token from the token endpoint.
Change detection
No CDC stream. UKG Pro publishes Pro HCM Webhook Events for changes such as new hire, employee and job detail changes, termination, and PTO, which Stacksync subscribes to for near-real-time triggers; bulk and historical loads use paged reads with each service's modified-since filters.
