Why teams connect Braze and Ukg Ready

Keep the people, teams, and status that Braze 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 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 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 Users, Custom Attributes, Custom Events, Purchases in Braze with Cost Centers / Groups, Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees, Employment / Positions 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 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 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 Sync audience membership computed in the warehouse into Braze segments for targeting.
  • 02 Sync CRM and billing attributes onto Braze user profiles so lifecycle campaigns target accurate plan and status data.
  • 03 Mirror Cost Centers/Groups and Compensation into finance and planning systems for headcount and budget reconciliation.
  • 04 Two-way sync Employees and Employment/Position records with an operational Postgres database so internal apps and IT provisioning read job title, department, and status in SQL while HR edits in UKG Ready.

Common sync patterns

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

When someone changes teams or managers in Ukg Ready, 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 Ready 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 Ready, 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 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.

Braze objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Canvases Multi-step journeys; entry and performance data is read for lifecycle analysis. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Canvases is specific to Braze and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — 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. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Subscription Groups is specific to Braze and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Content Blocks Reusable message content referenced across campaigns. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Content Blocks is specific to Braze and Employees to Ukg Ready — 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. Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Users is specific to Braze and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — 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. Compensation Salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and FLSA status; often mastered elsewhere and written onto the employee record, or read into finance. Custom Attributes is specific to Braze and Compensation to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Events Behavioral events pushed into Braze to trigger campaigns and Canvases. Timesheet Entries Time-and-attendance punches, hours worked, and breaks; written from external time systems and read into warehouses for labor-cost reporting. Custom Events is specific to Braze and Timesheet Entries to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Braze 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.

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

Ukg Ready Braze 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 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 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.
