Why teams connect Intercom and Ukg Ready

Keep the people who own accounts in Intercom in step with the workforce records in Ukg Ready, so ownership, roles, and org structure stay current in both systems, in real time and in both directions.

Intercom runs on people as much as on accounts: every contact, deal, and account has an owner, and those owners are employees whose roles, teams, and status are held in Ukg Ready. Ukg Ready is the system of record for the workforce, from new hires to promotions to departures, and often for the candidates the business is still deciding on. When the two systems are connected only by re-keying or an overnight export, they drift apart, and the CRM ends up assigning accounts to people who have left, holding territories that no longer match the org chart, and waiting days to give a new rep access.

Stacksync syncs Admins & Teams, Articles, Contacts, Companies in Intercom with Cost Centers / Groups, Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees, Employment / Positions in Ukg Ready field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Ukg Ready stays authoritative on roles and org structure while Intercom keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Route qualified leads from Intercom conversations into the CRM as leads or opportunities in near real time
  • 02 Sync contacts and companies bi-directionally with the CRM so support sees deal context and sales sees conversation history
  • 03 Create new-hire Employee records in UKG Ready from an ATS or onboarding workflow, including position, cost center, and compensation fields.
  • 04 Feed Timesheet Entries and Accruals/Time Off into a data warehouse for labor-cost, overtime, and PTO-liability reporting.

Common sync patterns

Where Ukg Ready tracks people the business also engages: contacts stay in sync

A person recorded in Ukg Ready, such as a candidate or applicant, can create or update the matching contact in Intercom, so relationship history and outreach are not rebuilt from scratch when the same individual appears in both.

New team members provisioned when they are hired

When Ukg Ready records a new hire, a matching user or owner is created in Intercom, so a new rep can start working accounts without waiting on a manual setup ticket.

Ownership and territory follow the org chart

When a person changes team, manager, or region in Ukg Ready, their accounts and territory assignments in Intercom update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.

What you can sync between Intercom 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.

Intercom objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Contacts A single contact model covers both users and leads, distinguished by a role attribute. 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. Contacts is specific to Intercom and Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Companies Company records group contacts and carry plan and account attributes used in segmentation. Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Companies is specific to Intercom and Benefits to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Conversations Support and sales threads sync outward for analytics and CRM context. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Conversations is specific to Intercom and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tickets Structured ticket records track issues alongside conversational threads. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Tickets is specific to Intercom and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data Events Behavioral events pushed in from product databases trigger messages and flows. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Data Events is specific to Intercom and Employees to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Data Attributes Typed custom fields on contacts and companies hold synced billing and usage data. Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Custom Data Attributes is specific to Intercom and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Intercom 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.

Intercom Ukg Ready Sub-second propagation

DetectionIntercom notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook topic subscriptions for contact, company, and conversation events, plus polling for backfill.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Intercom: Subject to per-app rate limits on the Intercom API.
  • 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.
