Why teams connect Ceridian Dayforce and Klaviyo

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

Each tool in Klaviyo 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. Ceridian Dayforce 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 Metrics, Campaigns, Flows, Templates in Klaviyo with Employment Status, Work Assignments, Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments, Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries in Ceridian Dayforce bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Ceridian Dayforce creates or updates the matching user in Klaviyo within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Klaviyo captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Ceridian Dayforce 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 Mirror campaign and flow engagement events into a warehouse for revenue attribution alongside order data
  • 02 Keep suppression and consent status consistent between Klaviyo and other email or SMS tools
  • 03 Replicate Compensation Summary and pay data into a warehouse for headcount, labor-cost, and compensation reporting without manual BI exports.
  • 04 Sync time data by posting raw clock entries from a third-party scheduling tool into Dayforce, or pulling Employee Punches and Schedules into a workforce-analytics database.

Common sync patterns

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

When someone changes teams or managers in Ceridian Dayforce, the queues, ownership, or approvals in Klaviyo update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.

Onboarding: access ready on day one

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

What you can sync between Ceridian Dayforce and Klaviyo

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.

Ceridian Dayforce objects Klaviyo objects How this pairing syncs
Work Assignments Effective-dated position, department, location, and org-unit assignment; the most-synced record for org charts, provisioning, and analytics. Read and updatable via PATCH. Lists Static audience memberships sync in from CRMs and forms for targeting. Work Assignments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Lists to Klaviyo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments Compensation Summary returns pay rate and frequency for reporting; Employee Pay Adjustments are written as effective-dated records via PATCH to post pay changes back to Dayforce. Segments Dynamic audiences are readable so other tools can mirror who qualifies. Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Segments to Klaviyo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries Time-and-attendance punches; raw clock entries are added with POST and punches removed with DELETE, so time data flows both ways between Dayforce and scheduling or workforce tools. Events Timestamped behavioral records tied to metrics; external order and product events are pushed in to trigger flows. Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Events to Klaviyo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employee Schedules Shift and schedule assignments; created and updated through POST and PATCH schedule endpoints and paged with pageSize, used to push schedules from a WFM tool or pull them for analytics. Metrics Event type definitions organize the activity stream used in segmentation and attribution. Employee Schedules is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Metrics to Klaviyo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions Configuration reference data; POST creates org units and departments and PATCH updates job, position, department, and org-unit data. Used to resolve and validate XRefCodes when mapping employee writes. Campaigns Email and SMS sends expose performance data for warehouse-based reporting. Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Campaigns to Klaviyo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Time Away From Work & Balances Time-off requests and accrual balances read per employee; pulled into scheduling, payroll, or absence-reporting databases and used to reconcile leave against downstream systems. Flows Automation definitions and their engagement data sync outward for attribution. Time Away From Work & Balances is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Flows to Klaviyo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ceridian Dayforce and Klaviyo

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.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ceridian Dayforce: Dayforce does not publish numeric rate limits; thresholds vary by tenant and exceeding them returns HTTP 429, so large employee reads are paged (pageSize) and throttled with backoff. Employee list calls return XRefCodes only, so each employee needs a follow-up GET.
  • Klaviyo: Per-endpoint burst and steady rate limits apply.

How the Ceridian Dayforce and Klaviyo connectors work

Ceridian Dayforce

Integration surface
REST API (Dayforce RESTful Web Services, v1/v2), JSON payloads
Authentication
HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated Web Services user plus the client namespace (Company ID), or an OAuth 2.0 access token from the Dayforce identity endpoint (POST dfid.dayforcehcm.com/connect/token, client_id Dayforce.HCMAnywhere.Client). Token-based auth is recommended, and the Web Services role with the Read Data subfeature must be enabled on the account.
Change detection
No CDC stream. Broad change detection uses delta polling on GET Employees with filterUpdatedStartDate/filterUpdatedEndDate and filterUpdatedEntities to pull only records changed in a window. Dayforce also has native Event Notifications (the Notification Publisher) for lifecycle events — hire, rehire, terminate, and workflow validation — delivered by push to a receiver service or by querying unacknowledged notifications; the publisher runs roughly hourly and each notification must be acknowledged.
