Why teams connect Atlassian and Ukg Ready

Keep the people, teams, and status that Atlassian 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 Atlassian 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 Jira Projects, Boards and Sprints, Issue Comments, Attachments in Atlassian with Compensation, Timesheet Entries, Accruals / Time Off, Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) 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 Atlassian within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Atlassian 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 Create Jira issues from records in other systems, such as onboarding tasks generated from a closed-won CRM deal.
  • 02 Keep Jira and a second tracker (for example a customer's Jira instance) aligned during co-delivery projects.
  • 03 Create new-hire Employee records in UKG Ready from an ATS or onboarding workflow, including position, cost center, and compensation fields.
  • 04 Feed Timesheet Entries and Accruals/Time Off into a data warehouse for labor-cost, overtime, and PTO-liability reporting.

Common sync patterns

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in Ukg Ready creates the matching user in Atlassian 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 Atlassian 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 Atlassian 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.

Atlassian objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Users and Groups Assignees and reporters matched to identities in other tools. 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. Users and Groups is specific to Atlassian and Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Confluence Pages Documentation content readable and writable through the Confluence REST API. Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Confluence Pages is specific to Atlassian and Benefits to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Confluence Spaces Namespaces that scope page syncs and permissions. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Confluence Spaces is specific to Atlassian and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Jira Issues The central work item, synced two-way with CRMs, support desks, and other trackers. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Jira Issues is specific to Atlassian and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Jira Projects Containers that scope issues, workflows, and permissions for a sync. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Jira Projects is specific to Atlassian and Employees to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Boards and Sprints Agile structures read to report on sprint contents and status. Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Boards and Sprints is specific to Atlassian and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Atlassian 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.

Atlassian Ukg Ready Sub-second propagation

DetectionAtlassian notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks on issue and page events, plus JQL polling on the updated timestamp for backfill.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
