Why teams connect Ceridian Dayforce and TimescaleDB
Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: TimescaleDB 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. TimescaleDB is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Employment Status, Work Assignments, Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments, Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries in Ceridian Dayforce need to exist as queryable Continuous Aggregates, Regular PostgreSQL Tables, Views, Schemas in TimescaleDB 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 Continuous Aggregates, Regular PostgreSQL Tables, Views, Schemas in TimescaleDB with Employment Status, Work Assignments, Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments, Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries 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 Sync product or IoT telemetry stored in TimescaleDB into a CRM so account teams see usage metrics next to the customer record.
- 02 Replicate subscription and billing events from operational Postgres tables into Timescale hypertables for time-series analysis.
- 03 Two-way sync of Employee and Work Assignment data (position, department, location, org unit) into Postgres so provisioning, internal apps, and analytics read current worker and org data in SQL while HR keeps editing in Dayforce.
- 04 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.
Common sync patterns
Reporting and analytics on current data
Employment Status, Work Assignments, Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments, Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries replicate into TimescaleDB where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.
Org and structure stay aligned
Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Ceridian Dayforce stay consistent in TimescaleDB, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.
Computed and operational fields flow back
Values assembled or corrected in TimescaleDB write onto the matching record in Ceridian Dayforce where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.
What you can sync between Ceridian Dayforce and TimescaleDB
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 | TimescaleDB objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data. | Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Regular PostgreSQL Tables to TimescaleDB — 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. | Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers. | Time Away From Work & Balances is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Views to TimescaleDB — 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. | Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment. | Employee (HR / Person Details) is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Schemas to TimescaleDB — 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. | Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs. | Employment Status is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Hypertables to TimescaleDB — 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. | Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly. | Work Assignments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Chunks to TimescaleDB — 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. | Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems. | Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Continuous Aggregates to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Ceridian Dayforce and TimescaleDB
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 TimescaleDB Sub-second propagation
DetectionCeridian Dayforce notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to TimescaleDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
TimescaleDB Ceridian Dayforce Sub-second propagation
DetectionChanges in TimescaleDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must.
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.
- TimescaleDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by database resources and connection limits.

How the Ceridian Dayforce and TimescaleDB 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.
