Why teams connect BetterContact and Ukg Ready

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

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

Each tool in BetterContact 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.

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 Backfill a warehouse of contacts with waterfall enrichment across 20+ data providers.
  • 02 Feed outbound sequencing tools with verified contact data before campaigns launch.
  • 03 Import computed Earnings and deductions into UKG Ready payroll runs from a warehouse or external time-tracking system ahead of each pay period.
  • 04 Create new-hire Employee records in UKG Ready from an ATS or onboarding workflow, including position, cost center, and compensation fields.

Common sync patterns

Offboarding: no standing access after a departure

When someone is marked as leaving in Ukg Ready, the matching account in BetterContact 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.

Org and team structure kept current

Department, team, and reporting-line changes from Ukg Ready keep the groups, queues, or projects in BetterContact assigned to the right people.

What you can sync between BetterContact 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.

BetterContact objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Enrichment Request Batch or single submissions of up to 100 contacts per request for waterfall enrichment. Accruals / Time Off PTO balances, requests, and approver status; read for liability reporting and requests can be created against employee records. Enrichment Request is specific to BetterContact and Accruals / Time Off to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Enriched Contact Verified work emails and mobile numbers with job title, LinkedIn profile, location, and skills. 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. Enriched Contact is specific to BetterContact and Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Company Company data returned with each contact: name, domain, HQ location, industry, employee count. Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Company is specific to BetterContact and Benefits to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lead Finder Search Prospect discovery by people and company filters, returning enriched lead profiles. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Lead Finder Search is specific to BetterContact and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BetterContact 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.

BetterContact Ukg Ready Sub-second propagation

DetectionBetterContact notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Job-based delivery — enrichment results arrive by webhook push or polling of the results endpoint.

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

Ukg Ready BetterContact 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.

DeliveryBetterContact does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: BetterContact's output flows back as field updates on the originating Ukg Ready records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • BetterContact: Batches capped at 100 contacts per enrichment request.
  • 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.
