Why teams connect Materialize and Ukg Pro

Land the people and organization records from Ukg Pro in Materialize as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Ukg Pro can use them.

Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Ukg Pro is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Materialize next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Terminations, Configuration Setup (Code Tables), Time & Attendance (UTA), Employee (Person Details) from Ukg Pro into tables in Materialize continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Materialize, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in Ukg Pro where the HR team acts on them. You configure which records and fields cross over, and in which direction, instead of maintaining pipeline code.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync operational CRM or ERP data into Materialize so real-time views stay current without batch loads.
  • 02 Read computed view results back into a CRM or application database as derived fields.
  • 03 Replicate Compensation and pay-statement / earnings history into a warehouse for headcount, labor-cost, and payroll reporting without manual BI exports.
  • 04 Deprovision accounts by subscribing to UKG Pro termination and job-change webhook events to disable IdP and app access as changes become effective.

Common sync patterns

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

Analysts combine Ukg Pro's workforce records with finance, product, or operational data already in Materialize for reporting the HR system cannot produce on its own.

Fresh data instead of last night's load

Because changes stream continuously, reports query current workforce data rather than waiting for an overnight load window to finish.

Queryable history for planning and audit

A continuously synced copy in Materialize gives you a durable, queryable record of how Ukg Pro's records change over time, for headcount planning and audit questions.

What you can sync between Materialize and Ukg Pro

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.

Materialize objects Ukg Pro objects How this pairing syncs
Clusters Compute pools that isolate ingestion, view maintenance, and serving. Configuration Setup (Code Tables) Reference data such as jobs, locations, positions, earnings, and deduction codes; used to resolve and validate field values when mapping records during sync. Clusters is specific to Materialize and Configuration Setup (Code Tables) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Connections & Secrets Stored credentials and endpoints used by sources and sinks. Time & Attendance (UTA) Timekeeping and worked-hours data exposed by the UTA services; synced into scheduling, payroll, or workforce-analytics databases. Connections & Secrets is specific to Materialize and Time & Attendance (UTA) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas & Databases Namespaces that organize objects a sync targets. Employee (Person Details) Core worker record with demographics and identifiers; read by listing employee IDs then fetching each profile, and created on hire via the personnel/onboarding endpoints. Schemas & Databases is specific to Materialize and Employee (Person Details) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables User-managed tables that accept INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE from sync pipelines. Employment Details Employment status, hire and service dates, and company assignment; the record that drives active/terminated state for provisioning downstream. Tables is specific to Materialize and Employment Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sources Ingestion points (Kafka, Postgres CDC, MySQL CDC, webhook) that feed external data into Materialize. Job / Position History Effective-dated job, position, department, supervisor, location, and cost center; the most-synced record for org charts, provisioning, and analytics. Sources is specific to Materialize and Job / Position History to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Incrementally maintained query results that syncs read as continuously up-to-date datasets. Compensation Details Effective-dated pay rate and salary; usually read into a warehouse for comp reporting and writable as new dated changes through the compensation endpoints. Materialized Views is specific to Materialize and Compensation Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Materialize and Ukg Pro

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.

Materialize Ukg Pro Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Materialize are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SUBSCRIBE queries stream row-level changes of any view or table to the client.

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

Ukg Pro Materialize Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Pro notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Materialize as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ukg Pro: An API gateway throttles calls per client over a rolling window (typically per minute); UKG does not publish exact numeric thresholds. Exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429, and UKG recommends a roughly one-second looping backoff before resuming (a Retry-After header is not yet standard). Reads are offset-paginated.

REST API (UKG Pro HCM REST services) with separate Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs, plus legacy SOAP-based UKG Pro Web Services
Authentication
Core HCM REST APIs use HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated web service account, plus a Customer API Key and a User API Key sent as headers (found under System Configuration > Security > Service Account Administration); the Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs instead require a bearer Authorization Token from the token endpoint.
Change detection
No CDC stream. UKG Pro publishes Pro HCM Webhook Events for changes such as new hire, employee and job detail changes, termination, and PTO, which Stacksync subscribes to for near-real-time triggers; bulk and historical loads use paged reads with each service's modified-since filters.
