Why teams connect Asana and Ukg Ready

Keep the people, teams, and status that Asana and Ukg Ready share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in Asana keeps its own list of who can use it: users, members, or agents, along with the team they sit on and whether they are still active. Ukg Ready is the authoritative record of the same people as employees, with their department, manager, and employment status. When those two are connected only by manual account admin or a periodic export, the work tools drift: new hires wait days for access, team and manager changes never catch up, and people who have left keep standing accounts.

Stacksync syncs Projects, Sections, Custom fields, Stories in Asana with Benefits, Cost Centers / Groups, Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees in Ukg Ready bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Ukg Ready creates or updates the matching user in Asana within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Asana captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Ukg Ready in whichever direction you configure.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared facts, who a person is, which team they belong to, and whether their access should be on, are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Projects, Sections, and Portfolios into a warehouse for cross-team reporting on status, timelines, and workload without CSV exports.
  • 02 Push support tickets or intake requests from an operational database into Asana Tasks, then read completion and status Custom fields back when work finishes.
  • 03 Feed Timesheet Entries and Accruals/Time Off into a data warehouse for labor-cost, overtime, and PTO-liability reporting.
  • 04 Mirror Cost Centers/Groups and Compensation into finance and planning systems for headcount and budget reconciliation.

Common sync patterns

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in Ukg Ready creates the matching user in Asana with the right team and manager already set, so people can start working without waiting on a provisioning ticket.

Offboarding: no standing access after a departure

When someone is marked as leaving in Ukg Ready, the matching account in Asana is deactivated or flagged, so departures do not leave open access behind.

One employee directory

A person's name, title, contact details, or status corrected in either system updates the other, so both sides stop maintaining separate copies of the same person.

What you can sync between Asana 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.

Asana objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Custom fields Typed fields (text, number, enum, multi-enum, date, people) defined at project or workspace level; mapped to database columns, with enum values written by option GID. Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Custom fields is specific to Asana and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stories Comments and activity entries on a Task; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments. Compensation Salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and FLSA status; often mastered elsewhere and written onto the employee record, or read into finance. Stories is specific to Asana and Compensation to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Members of a workspace or organization referenced by assignee and follower fields; read to resolve GIDs to names and emails. Timesheet Entries Time-and-attendance punches, hours worked, and breaks; written from external time systems and read into warehouses for labor-cost reporting. Users is specific to Asana and Timesheet Entries to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Portfolios Collections of Projects for program-level rollup; read for cross-project status and progress reporting (Business and Enterprise). Accruals / Time Off PTO balances, requests, and approver status; read for liability reporting and requests can be created against employee records. Portfolios is specific to Asana and Accruals / Time Off to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tags Labels applied across Tasks; synced as a many-to-many attribute for filtering and categorization. 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. Tags is specific to Asana and Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Teams / Workspaces Organizational containers that hold projects and members; used to scope which projects a given sync covers. Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Teams / Workspaces is specific to Asana and Benefits to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Asana 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.

Asana Ukg Ready Sub-second propagation

DetectionAsana notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Resource-scoped webhooks (established with an X-Hook-Secret handshake) POST events on create, change, and delete.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Asana: Per token: 1,500 requests/minute on paid plans, 150/minute on free; the Search API is capped at 60/minute; concurrency caps at 50 GET and 15 write requests. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header, and a separate cost-based limiter applies to complex graph traversals.
  • 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.
