Why teams connect Apache Kylin and Paylocity

Land the people and organization records from Paylocity in Apache Kylin as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Paylocity can use them.

Apache Kylin is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Paylocity, so Paylocity always reflects the current state of Apache Kylin — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Paylocity is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Apache Kylin next to everything else the company measures.

Common use cases

  • 01 Trigger downstream syncs after segment build jobs complete so consumers only read refreshed data.
  • 02 Read pre-aggregated metrics from Kylin and sync them into CRM fields or planning spreadsheets on a schedule.
  • 03 Upsert recurring Deductions and Earnings on employee records when benefits or 401(k) elections change in a benefits admin system, without re-keying payroll setup.
  • 04 Read Pay Statements and Direct Deposit allocations into a Postgres or warehouse database for labor-cost, GL, and headcount reporting in SQL.

Common sync patterns

Write-back of computed values

Segments, rollups, or risk flags computed in Apache Kylin sync back onto the matching records in Paylocity, where the HR team sees them in the system they already use.

HR data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

People and organization records from Paylocity arrive in Apache Kylin as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind, replacing hand-built extract jobs.

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

Analysts combine Paylocity's workforce records with finance, product, or operational data already in Apache Kylin for reporting the HR system cannot produce on its own.

What you can sync between Apache Kylin and Paylocity

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.

Apache Kylin objects Paylocity objects How this pairing syncs
Cubes / Indexes Pre-computed aggregate structures that answer queries at low latency. Onboarding Create Employee Onboarding pushes new-hire data into Paylocity's onboarding workflow; Get Onboarding Status reads back partner onboarding progress. Write-in for hires from an ATS. Cubes / Indexes is specific to Apache Kylin and Onboarding to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Source Tables Hive or other upstream tables that builds read from. Deductions (Pay Setup) Recurring deduction codes at the employee level; two-way via Upsert Deduction and Delete, with Get Deduction / Get All Deductions for reads. Source Tables is specific to Apache Kylin and Deductions (Pay Setup) to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Time-ranged build units that partition pre-computed data. Earnings (Pay Setup) Recurring earning codes at the employee level; two-way via Upsert Earning and Delete, with Get All Earnings and Get by earning code for reads. Segments is specific to Apache Kylin and Earnings (Pay Setup) to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Build Jobs Batch jobs that compute or refresh segments, monitored via the REST API. Local and State Taxes Two-way via Create/Update/Delete Local Tax and Upsert Primary / Non-Primary State Tax; Get by tax code and Get All for reads. Build Jobs is specific to Apache Kylin and Local and State Taxes to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects Top-level workspaces that group models, tables, and jobs. Direct Deposit Read-only: Get All Direct Deposit and Get Employee Bank Accounts return main and additional allocations. Bank details cannot be written through the API. Projects is specific to Apache Kylin and Direct Deposit to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Models Star-schema definitions over source tables that determine what can be queried. Pay Statements Read-only detailed payroll statement data — earnings, deductions, taxes, and direct deposit allocations by year, check date, or date range. Pulled for reporting, never written. Models is specific to Apache Kylin and Pay Statements to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Kylin and Paylocity

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.

Apache Kylin Paylocity Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Kylin for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Data freshness follows segment build and refresh jobs, so integrations poll query results.

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

Paylocity Apache Kylin Sub-second propagation

DetectionPaylocity notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL.

DeliveryApache Kylin does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Apache Kylin's output flows back as field updates on the originating Paylocity records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apache Kylin: No fixed API quotas; query capacity depends on the deployment and pre-computed index coverage.
  • Paylocity: 25 requests per second (1,500 per minute); exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Every path is scoped to a Paylocity-assigned companyId (a company code, not a UUID).

How the Apache Kylin and Paylocity connectors work

Apache Kylin

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC plus a REST API for queries and administration
Authentication
Username/password (HTTP basic authentication on the REST API)
Change detection
Not applicable for row-level capture; data freshness follows segment build and refresh jobs, so integrations poll query results
Capabilities

Rate limits
No fixed API quotas; query capacity depends on the deployment and pre-computed index coverage

Paylocity

Integration surface
REST API (v1 and v2), JSON payloads
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client credentials via the Paylocity Identity Provider (/IdentityServer/connect/token) with the WebLinkAPI scope; access tokens expire after one hour and API access must be enabled by Paylocity for the company
Change detection
Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL; payloads carry only companyId and employeeId, so the receiver calls the relevant API to fetch changed values. Scheduled polling is used for objects without webhooks.
