Why teams connect Airtable and Ukg Ready

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

Ukg Ready 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, Timesheet Entries, Accruals / Time Off, Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) in Ukg Ready need to exist as queryable Collaborators, Bases, Tables, Records 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 Collaborators, Bases, Tables, Records in Airtable with Compensation, Timesheet Entries, Accruals / Time Off, Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) in Ukg Ready field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ukg Ready 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 Write cleaned records edited in Airtable back to the source system of record, keeping both sides consistent in near real time.
  • 02 Use Airtable as a lightweight front end for product catalogs or inventory stored in an ERP or warehouse database.
  • 03 Two-way sync Employees and Employment/Position records with an operational Postgres database so internal apps and IT provisioning read job title, department, and status in SQL while HR edits in UKG Ready.
  • 04 Import computed Earnings and deductions into UKG Ready payroll runs from a warehouse or external time-tracking system ahead of each pay period.

Common sync patterns

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Ukg Ready stay consistent in Airtable, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in Airtable write onto the matching record in Ukg Ready where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Ukg Ready land as queryable Collaborators, Bases, Tables, Records in Airtable, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

What you can sync between Airtable and Ukg Ready

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 Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Fields Typed columns including linked records, lookups, and rollups; computed fields are read-only in syncs. Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) Earnings and deductions can be imported into pay runs; Employee Payroll Runs (gross, net, taxes) read back for GL posting and analytics. Fields is specific to Airtable and Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Filtered subsets of a table that can scope which records a sync reads. Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Views is specific to Airtable and Benefits to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Linked records Cross-table references that carry relationships between synced tables. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Linked records is specific to Airtable and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attachments File fields exposed as expiring URLs that syncs can mirror to other systems. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Attachments is specific to Airtable and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — 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. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Collaborators is specific to Airtable and Employees to Ukg Ready — 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 / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Bases is specific to Airtable and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Airtable and Ukg Ready

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 Ready 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 Ready through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Ukg Ready Airtable Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Ready notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. UKG Webhooks for select events (employee.created, employee.updated, account/org changes) with HMAC signing.

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 Ready: Rate limits apply over roughly a 1-minute window and return HTTP 429 when exceeded (back off / exponential retry); UKG Webhooks run on a tiered quota with a free tier around 10,000 event notifications per month and 14-day event retention.

How the Airtable and Ukg Ready 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

Rate limits
The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.
Airtable setup guide

Ukg Ready

Integration surface
UKG Ready REST API (v1/v2) plus the Import Tool (XML transactions) and Report-as-a-Service (IBM Cognos); a legacy SOAP API also exists
Authentication
A 7-digit company short name, a Web API key (Company Setup > Login Config), and a dedicated API service-account user (username/password) are exchanged for a session Bearer token sent on every request; Onboarding/Recruiting endpoints use a separate authorization token
Change detection
UKG Webhooks for select events (employee.created, employee.updated, account/org changes) with HMAC signing; broad change capture via polling REST endpoints with date filters or scheduled Report-as-a-Service extracts
Capabilities
