Teams building with Stacksync

Plan the connection your business needs

Explore a Auth0 and UKG Pro integration with a Stacksync engineer. Stacksync support for Auth0 and UKG Pro is not established by the connector documentation reviewed for this page. Start with one record and the update your business needs to identify an implementation path.

01 / Business process

Start with one meaningful update

Identify the record that changes in Auth0 or UKG Pro, where it needs to appear, and which team depends on it.

02 / Data access

Establish the available connection

Bring the objects, account editions, and required directions. An engineer can review the connector path, permissions, and field access.

03 / Success criteria

Define a result you can verify

Agree on record matching, acceptable delay, expected volume, and how your team will resolve failed updates.

Technical referenceAvailable documentation, candidate record relationships, and questions for your technical review.

Technical documentation

Prepare your technical review

Use the worksheets and reference checks to capture record identity, ownership, and the result your business expects.

Implementation reference

Record identity and field ownership

Use these data-model references to describe the records your connection needs. They are planning examples; connector availability and supported operations must be established before implementation.

Business processUsers Employee (Person Details)

Approved worker-to-account handoff: UKG Pro Employee (Person Details) provides context for Auth0 Users. These are related records, not equivalent entities.

Auth0
Object support to establish
UKG Pro
Object support to establish

Record identity

Link the employment/person identity to the directory tenant and user ID; support rehires without creating duplicate accounts.

Field ownership

HR effective dates and access-owner approval govern provisioning or deactivation; a record update alone is not an access authorization.

Fields to include

  • Source record reference
  • Destination record reference
  • Approved handoff state
  • Duplicate-detection key

Architecture decision

Choose how to connect your systems

Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Users / Employee (Person Details) to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.

Stacksync managed sync

Best fit
Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
Operating responsibility
Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
Before you choose
Check record matching: Link the employment/person identity to the directory tenant and user ID; support rehires without creating duplicate accounts. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.

Native vendor integration

Best fit
A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your Auth0 and UKG Pro record types.
Operating responsibility
Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
Before you choose
First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Users / Employee (Person Details), update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.

Custom API or workflow

Best fit
Consider explicit orchestration for the Users / Employee (Person Details) handoff.
Operating responsibility
Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
Before you choose
Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery. Separate reading history from actions that send messages, grant access, or post transactions.

File or scheduled snapshot

Best fit
Consider for a one-time Auth0 / UKG Pro migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
Operating responsibility
Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
Before you choose
Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.

Workflow reference

From a business event to the right update

Open a workflow to see its trigger, record relationships, and expected result.

Worker or employee process handoff

Starting event: A change to the selected Users or Employee (Person Details) record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Auth0 Users and UKG Pro Employee (Person Details). Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve organization, position, manager, and effective-date context before dependent changes.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test a future-dated joiner, a mover, and a leaver with protected-account exceptions before applying access changes.

If it fails: Reconcile effective dates before applying a delayed change; route ambiguous termination or access changes for review.

Manage approved account changes across Auth0 and UKG Pro

Starting event: An approved identity change in Auth0 needs to be reflected in the UKG Pro process.

  1. Identify the tenant and immutable user ID in Auth0; determine whether Employee (Person Details) or Job / Position History has a legitimate relationship to that user.
  2. Separate reporting identity context from actions that create users, grant access, or deactivate accounts. Document the approval and effective date before any action.
  3. Keep identity attributes separate from customer contacts and exclude attributes unnecessary for the process.

Expected result: A rename preserves identity; an unapproved access change is withheld; a future-dated change waits until its approved time.

If it fails: Review current permissions and approval before retrying. A stale event must not restore access that has since been removed.

Production readiness

Test the behavior your business depends on

Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.

Users / Employee (Person Details)

Test case

Test a future-dated joiner, a mover, and a leaver with protected-account exceptions before applying access changes.

Expected result

The expected worker or employee relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Direction and permissions

Test case

Bring an example source record and the intended destination operation to the compatibility review. Confirm the supported route before granting write access.

Expected result

Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.

Freshness and reconciliation

Test case

Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.

Expected result

The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.

Failure recovery

Find the cause. Restore the data flow.

Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.

Rejected or repeated worker or employee change

Investigate

Inspect Auth0 Users and UKG Pro Employee (Person Details), their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Reconcile effective dates before applying a delayed change; route ambiguous termination or access changes for review.

A record type or update is unavailable

Investigate

Check the Auth0 and UKG Pro connector guides, account permissions, and any operations marked On Request.

Next action

Ask the integration team to confirm a supported way to handle that record. Verify whether it needs connector configuration or a separate workflow step.

Source and destination disagree after a retry

Investigate

Compare current source values, destination validation, identity mappings, and any side effects already completed.

Next action

Stacksync issue retry reads the current source state. Decide the intended state before retrying or reverting; reconcile downstream effects separately.

Read the Stacksync issues dashboard guide for retry and revert behavior.

Update timing and record limits

  • Measure initial-load and ongoing-change latency separately. Source detection, selected objects, account limits, and destination validation determine the observed delay.
  • Review write-back, deletion handling, update timing, and account limits with the integration team.
  • Review write-back, deletion handling, update timing, and account limits with the integration team.

Prepare Auth0 and UKG Pro access

Set up both accounts before testing the mapping. Use test records where available, and identify the account administrator who can approve access and help resolve setup errors.

Auth0 setup checklist

  • Identify the Auth0 account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access.
  • Confirm a Stacksync connector or implementation path for Auth0, including read/write support, authentication, and initial-load limits.

UKG Pro setup checklist

  • Identify the UKG Pro account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access.
  • Confirm a Stacksync connector or implementation path for UKG Pro, including read/write support, authentication, and initial-load limits.

Prepare to go live

Record the fields each system can update, the first-load cutoff, both record IDs, the expected update delay, and who handles errors. Complete the tests before production before expanding to more records.

Use the Auth0 and UKG Pro planning worksheet to capture these decisions. Record the access owner in the worksheet and enter credentials only in the connection setup.
