Why teams connect Ceridian Dayforce and Orderful

Keep the people, teams, and status that Orderful 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 Orderful 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 Relationships, Validation guidelines, Acknowledgments, Webhook events in Orderful with Employee Schedules, Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions, Time Away From Work & Balances, Employee (HR / Person Details) 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 Orderful within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Orderful 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 Onboard new retail partners by mapping Orderful's JSON transactions to existing order tables instead of building per-partner EDI maps.
  • 02 Reconcile 810 invoices against ERP billing records automatically as documents arrive.
  • 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

One employee directory

A person's name, title, contact details, or status corrected in either system updates the other, so both sides stop maintaining separate copies of the same person.

Org and team structure kept current

Department, team, and reporting-line changes from Ceridian Dayforce keep the groups, queues, or projects in Orderful assigned to the right people.

Where Orderful 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 Orderful update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.

What you can sync between Ceridian Dayforce and Orderful

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 Orderful 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. Acknowledgments 997 functional acknowledgments confirming receipt of transmitted documents Employee Schedules is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Acknowledgments to Orderful — 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. Webhook events Push notifications for inbound documents and transaction status changes Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Webhook events to Orderful — 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. Transactions EDI documents such as 850 purchase orders, 810 invoices, and 856 ship notices, represented as JSON Time Away From Work & Balances is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Transactions to Orderful — 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. Trading partners The retailers, carriers, and suppliers a company exchanges documents with Employee (HR / Person Details) is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Trading partners to Orderful — 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. Relationships Active partner connections per transaction type that govern what can be sent and received Employment Status is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Relationships to Orderful — 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. Validation guidelines Partner-specific rules transactions are checked against before delivery Work Assignments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Validation guidelines to Orderful — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ceridian Dayforce and Orderful

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 Orderful 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.
  • Orderful: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.

How the Ceridian Dayforce and Orderful 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.
