Why teams connect Ceridian Dayforce and MySQL
Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: MySQL and Ceridian Dayforce share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.
Ceridian Dayforce is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. MySQL is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries, Employee Schedules, Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions, Time Away From Work & Balances in Ceridian Dayforce need to exist as queryable Tables, Views, Columns, Primary and Unique Keys in MySQL before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.
Stacksync syncs Tables, Views, Columns, Primary and Unique Keys in MySQL with Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries, Employee Schedules, Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions, Time Away From Work & Balances in Ceridian Dayforce field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ceridian Dayforce typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.
The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.
Common use cases
- 01 Feed a warehouse from MySQL continuously using binlog-based capture instead of nightly dumps
- 02 Two-way sync between a MySQL application database and a CRM so operational records and sales records stay identical
- 03 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.
- 04 Replicate Compensation Summary and pay data into a warehouse for headcount, labor-cost, and compensation reporting without manual BI exports.
Common sync patterns
Org and structure stay aligned
Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Ceridian Dayforce stay consistent in MySQL, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.
Computed and operational fields flow back
Values assembled or corrected in MySQL write onto the matching record in Ceridian Dayforce where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.
Mirror people records into the database
Records maintained in Ceridian Dayforce land as queryable Tables, Views, Columns, Primary and Unique Keys in MySQL, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.
What you can sync between Ceridian Dayforce and MySQL
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 | MySQL objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. | Employee Schedules is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Views to MySQL — 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. | Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. | Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Columns to MySQL — 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. | Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling. | Time Away From Work & Balances is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Primary and Unique Keys to MySQL — 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. | JSON Columns Validated semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS data. | Employee (HR / Person Details) is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and JSON Columns to MySQL — 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. | Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. | Employment Status is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Stored Procedures to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| 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. | Triggers An alternative change-capture mechanism when binlog access is unavailable. | Work Assignments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Triggers to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Ceridian Dayforce and MySQL
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.
Ceridian Dayforce MySQL Sub-second propagation
DetectionCeridian Dayforce notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to MySQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
MySQL Ceridian Dayforce Sub-second propagation
DetectionChanges in MySQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when.
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.
- MySQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.

How the Ceridian Dayforce and MySQL 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.

FAQ
Ceridian Dayforce and MySQL integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Ceridian Dayforce and MySQL: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Ceridian Dayforce's Employee Schedules and Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
MySQL: Primary keys must be auto-generated (e.g. AUTO_INCREMENT). Ceridian Dayforce: Native Event Notifications (the Dayforce Notification Publisher) cover employee lifecycle events — Hire, Rehire, Terminate (and their cancels) and Workflow Validation — pushed to a receiver service or pulled via unacknowledged-notification queries; the publisher runs about hourly and notifications must be acknowledged. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Ceridian Dayforce and MySQL without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Ceridian Dayforce and MySQL records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Ceridian Dayforce and MySQL connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Ceridian Dayforce–MySQL integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Ceridian Dayforce and MySQL. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Ceridian Dayforce: 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. On MySQL: Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when binary logging is enabled).
