Why teams connect Ceridian Dayforce and Monday

Keep the people, teams, and status that Monday 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 Monday 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 Column values, Groups, Updates, Users in Monday with Work Assignments, Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments, Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries, Employee Schedules 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 Monday within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Monday 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 Push support tickets or orders from an operational database into monday.com Items, then read status Column values back when work completes.
  • 02 Sync Updates and status changes from monday.com into a database so downstream tools and dashboards react to project progress in near real time.
  • 03 Push new hires (Employee, Employment Status, Work Assignment) from an ATS or onboarding tool into Dayforce with POST once a candidate is hired, pre-fetching valid XRefCodes for department, position, location, and pay group.
  • 04 React to Dayforce Event Notifications for hire, rehire, and terminate to provision or disable IdP and app access and update downstream records as the changes post.

Common sync patterns

Where Monday 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 Monday 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 Monday 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 Monday is deactivated or flagged, so departures do not leave open access behind.

What you can sync between Ceridian Dayforce and Monday

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 Monday objects How this pairing syncs
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. Users Account members referenced by people columns; read to resolve owner and assignee IDs to names and emails. Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Users to Monday — 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. Workspaces Top-level containers that hold boards; used to scope which boards a given sync covers. Employee Schedules is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Workspaces to Monday — 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. Boards Table-like containers that hold items; each board maps to a synced table, and its columns define the field mapping. Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Boards to Monday — 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. Items Rows within a board and the primary record; synced two-way and created, updated, archived, or deleted via GraphQL mutations. Time Away From Work & Balances is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Items to Monday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employee (HR / Person Details) Core worker record keyed by XRefCode; GET Employees returns matching XRefCodes, then a per-employee GET fetches full HR details. New hires are added with POST and edits made with PATCH, so it is read and write. Subitems Nested rows under items, stored on a separate hidden board; synced as a child table linked to the parent item. Employee (HR / Person Details) is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Subitems to Monday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employment Status Effective-dated employment status and type (active, leave, terminated) that drives active/terminated state for downstream provisioning; read, and writable as new dated status records. Column values Typed fields (status, date, people, numbers, connect-boards); polymorphic JSON usually written together via change_multiple_column_values. Employment Status is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Column values to Monday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ceridian Dayforce and Monday

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.

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.
  • Monday: Complexity-budget limits: a single query caps at 5M complexity points and ~10M points/min per user token (1M on trial/free) over a sliding 60s window.

How the Ceridian Dayforce and Monday 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.
