Why teams connect GitHub and Ukg Ready

Keep the people, teams, and status that GitHub 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 GitHub 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 Organizations and Teams, Users, Labels and Milestones, Repositories in GitHub with Employees, Employment / Positions, Compensation, Timesheet Entries 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 GitHub within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where GitHub 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 Publish release data into customer-communication tools when a new version ships.
  • 02 Two-way sync of GitHub issues with Jira, Linear, or a support system so engineering and customer-facing teams work in their own tools.
  • 03 Mirror Cost Centers/Groups and Compensation into finance and planning systems for headcount and budget reconciliation.
  • 04 Two-way sync Employees and Employment/Position records with an operational Postgres database so internal apps and IT provisioning read job title, department, and status in SQL while HR edits in UKG Ready.

Common sync patterns

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

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in Ukg Ready creates the matching user in GitHub 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 Ukg Ready, the matching account in GitHub is deactivated or flagged, so departures do not leave open access behind.

What you can sync between GitHub 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.

GitHub objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Organizations and Teams Membership data synced with identity systems and HR directories for access reviews. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Organizations and Teams is specific to GitHub and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Author and assignee identities matched to internal directories. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Users is specific to GitHub and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Labels and Milestones Classification fields mapped to statuses and sprints in external trackers. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Labels and Milestones is specific to GitHub and Employees to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Repositories Top-level containers whose metadata and settings syncs read to scope other objects. Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Repositories is specific to GitHub and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Issues Synced two-way with project trackers and support tools, including labels and assignees. Compensation Salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and FLSA status; often mastered elsewhere and written onto the employee record, or read into finance. Issues is specific to GitHub and Compensation to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Pull Requests Review state, status checks, and merge status feed engineering dashboards and workflow tools. Timesheet Entries Time-and-attendance punches, hours worked, and breaks; written from external time systems and read into warehouses for labor-cost reporting. Pull Requests is specific to GitHub and Timesheet Entries to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between GitHub 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.

GitHub Ukg Ready Sub-second propagation

DetectionGitHub notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks with a broad event catalog covering issues, pull requests, pushes, and releases.

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

Ukg Ready GitHub 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 GitHub through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • GitHub: Authenticated REST requests are limited to 5,000 per hour per user; GitHub Apps scale limits per installation.
  • 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.
