Why teams connect Braze and Ukg Pro

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

Each tool in Braze 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 Pro 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 Users, Custom Attributes, Custom Events, Purchases in Braze with Employment Details, Job / Position History, Compensation Details, Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) in Ukg Pro bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Ukg Pro creates or updates the matching user in Braze within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Braze captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Ukg Pro 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 Keep subscription and consent states consistent between Braze subscription groups and the CRM or CDP of record.
  • 02 Export campaign and Canvas engagement data into a warehouse for cross-channel reporting.
  • 03 Deprovision accounts by subscribing to UKG Pro termination and job-change webhook events to disable IdP and app access as changes become effective.
  • 04 Keep Configuration code tables (jobs, locations, departments, cost centers) aligned between UKG Pro and an ERP so org and cost-center hierarchies match.

Common sync patterns

Where Braze routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org

When someone changes teams or managers in Ukg Pro, the queues, ownership, or approvals in Braze update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in Ukg Pro creates the matching user in Braze 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 Pro, the matching account in Braze is deactivated or flagged, so departures do not leave open access behind.

What you can sync between Braze and Ukg Pro

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.

Braze objects Ukg Pro objects How this pairing syncs
Campaigns Message sends whose metadata and analytics are read for reporting. Compensation Details Effective-dated pay rate and salary; usually read into a warehouse for comp reporting and writable as new dated changes through the compensation endpoints. Campaigns is specific to Braze and Compensation Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Canvases Multi-step journeys; entry and performance data is read for lifecycle analysis. Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) Pay statements, direct-deposit accounts, and earnings history; read-only pay data replicated into finance and warehouse systems for labor-cost reporting. Canvases is specific to Braze and Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Subscription Groups Channel-level opt-in states synced with consent records in other systems. Terminations Termination transactions posted with a terminationDate and a reason code that must match the tenant's configured reason table; drives account deprovisioning. Subscription Groups is specific to Braze and Terminations to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Content Blocks Reusable message content referenced across campaigns. Configuration Setup (Code Tables) Reference data such as jobs, locations, positions, earnings, and deduction codes; used to resolve and validate field values when mapping records during sync. Content Blocks is specific to Braze and Configuration Setup (Code Tables) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users The central profile object, identified by external ID, Braze ID, or user aliases; the main sync target. Time & Attendance (UTA) Timekeeping and worked-hours data exposed by the UTA services; synced into scheduling, payroll, or workforce-analytics databases. Users is specific to Braze and Time & Attendance (UTA) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Attributes Profile fields written from CRMs, warehouses, and product databases to drive personalization. Employee (Person Details) Core worker record with demographics and identifiers; read by listing employee IDs then fetching each profile, and created on hire via the personnel/onboarding endpoints. Custom Attributes is specific to Braze and Employee (Person Details) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Braze and Ukg Pro

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.

Braze Ukg Pro Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Braze for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Braze Currents streams engagement events outward.

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

Ukg Pro Braze Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Pro notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Braze: Endpoints have per-endpoint rate limits documented by Braze; batch endpoints accept multiple users per request.
  • Ukg Pro: An API gateway throttles calls per client over a rolling window (typically per minute); UKG does not publish exact numeric thresholds. Exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429, and UKG recommends a roughly one-second looping backoff before resuming (a Retry-After header is not yet standard). Reads are offset-paginated.

Ukg Pro

Integration surface
REST API (UKG Pro HCM REST services) with separate Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs, plus legacy SOAP-based UKG Pro Web Services
Authentication
Core HCM REST APIs use HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated web service account, plus a Customer API Key and a User API Key sent as headers (found under System Configuration > Security > Service Account Administration); the Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs instead require a bearer Authorization Token from the token endpoint.
Change detection
No CDC stream. UKG Pro publishes Pro HCM Webhook Events for changes such as new hire, employee and job detail changes, termination, and PTO, which Stacksync subscribes to for near-real-time triggers; bulk and historical loads use paged reads with each service's modified-since filters.
