Why teams connect Customer.io and Ukg Ready

Keep the people, teams, and status that Customer.io and Ukg Ready share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in Customer.io 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. Ukg Ready 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 Events, Segments, Campaigns, Broadcasts in Customer.io with Accruals / Time Off, Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs), Benefits, Cost Centers / Groups in Ukg Ready bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Ukg Ready creates or updates the matching user in Customer.io within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Customer.io captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Ukg Ready 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 Land delivery and engagement events (sent, opened, clicked, bounced) from reporting webhooks into a warehouse for attribution analysis.
  • 02 Keep unsubscribe and subscription-preference state consistent between Customer.io and the CRM to avoid compliance gaps.
  • 03 Feed Timesheet Entries and Accruals/Time Off into a data warehouse for labor-cost, overtime, and PTO-liability reporting.
  • 04 Mirror Cost Centers/Groups and Compensation into finance and planning systems for headcount and budget reconciliation.

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 Ukg Ready keep the groups, queues, or projects in Customer.io assigned to the right people.

Where Customer.io routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org

When someone changes teams or managers in Ukg Ready, the queues, ownership, or approvals in Customer.io update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.

What you can sync between Customer.io and Ukg Ready

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.

Customer.io objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Segments Attribute- or event-based groups; data syncs feed the attributes segments evaluate. Compensation Salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and FLSA status; often mastered elsewhere and written onto the employee record, or read into finance. Segments is specific to Customer.io and Compensation to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Campaigns Automated workflows whose membership and metrics can be read via the App API. Timesheet Entries Time-and-attendance punches, hours worked, and breaks; written from external time systems and read into warehouses for labor-cost reporting. Campaigns is specific to Customer.io and Timesheet Entries to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Broadcasts One-off sends to segments or audiences, triggerable via API. Accruals / Time Off PTO balances, requests, and approver status; read for liability reporting and requests can be created against employee records. Broadcasts is specific to Customer.io and Accruals / Time Off to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Deliveries / Messages Per-recipient message records whose lifecycle events flow out through reporting webhooks. Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) Earnings and deductions can be imported into pay runs; Employee Payroll Runs (gross, net, taxes) read back for GL posting and analytics. Deliveries / Messages is specific to Customer.io and Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Newsletters Recurring email sends with performance metrics available for reporting syncs. Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Newsletters is specific to Customer.io and Benefits to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People Profiles with attributes, matched on identifiers like id or email; the main write target of data syncs. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. People is specific to Customer.io and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Customer.io and Ukg Ready

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.

Customer.io Ukg Ready Sub-second propagation

DetectionCustomer.io notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Reporting webhooks push message and delivery events.

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

Ukg Ready Customer.io Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Ready notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. UKG Webhooks for select events (employee.created, employee.updated, account/org changes) with HMAC signing.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Customer.io: Subject to per-API rate limits documented by Customer.io.
  • Ukg Ready: Rate limits apply over roughly a 1-minute window and return HTTP 429 when exceeded (back off / exponential retry); UKG Webhooks run on a tiered quota with a free tier around 10,000 event notifications per month and 14-day event retention.

Integration surface
REST APIs split by purpose: Track API for data ingestion, App API for campaigns, people lookups, and messages
Authentication
Basic auth with site ID and API key for the Track API; bearer token for the App API
Change detection
Reporting webhooks push message and delivery events; person attribute changes are not streamed and require source-side detection
Capabilities

Rate limits
Subject to per-API rate limits documented by Customer.io

Ukg Ready

Integration surface
UKG Ready REST API (v1/v2) plus the Import Tool (XML transactions) and Report-as-a-Service (IBM Cognos); a legacy SOAP API also exists
Authentication
A 7-digit company short name, a Web API key (Company Setup > Login Config), and a dedicated API service-account user (username/password) are exchanged for a session Bearer token sent on every request; Onboarding/Recruiting endpoints use a separate authorization token
Change detection
UKG Webhooks for select events (employee.created, employee.updated, account/org changes) with HMAC signing; broad change capture via polling REST endpoints with date filters or scheduled Report-as-a-Service extracts
