Why teams connect Nutshell and Ukg Pro

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

Nutshell 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 Pro. Ukg Pro 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 Tags, Users, Leads, People in Nutshell with Employee (Person Details), Employment Details, Job / Position History, Compensation Details in Ukg Pro field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Ukg Pro stays authoritative on roles and org structure while Nutshell keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push closed-won leads to accounting software to trigger invoicing automatically.
  • 02 Keep People and Companies consistent between Nutshell and email marketing or outreach tools.
  • 03 Two-way sync of Employee and Job Details (position, department, supervisor, location, cost center) into Postgres so provisioning, internal apps, and analytics read current worker and org data in SQL while HR edits in UKG Pro.
  • 04 Push new hires (Employee, Employment, Job) into an ERP, IdP, or app database when onboarding completes so account, cost-center, and payroll setup fire on hire instead of manual report exports.

Common sync patterns

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

A person recorded in Ukg Pro, such as a candidate or applicant, can create or update the matching contact in Nutshell, 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 Pro records a new hire, a matching user or owner is created in Nutshell, 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 Pro, their accounts and territory assignments in Nutshell update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.

What you can sync between Nutshell 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.

Nutshell objects Ukg Pro objects How this pairing syncs
Companies Account records that group people and leads for account-level syncs Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) Pay statements, direct-deposit accounts, and earnings history; read-only pay data replicated into finance and warehouse systems for labor-cost reporting. Companies is specific to Nutshell and Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activities Logged calls, meetings, and emails used for engagement reporting Terminations Termination transactions posted with a terminationDate and a reason code that must match the tenant's configured reason table; drives account deprovisioning. Activities is specific to Nutshell and Terminations to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tasks Rep to-dos mirrored into external work-management or reporting systems 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. Tasks is specific to Nutshell and Configuration Setup (Code Tables) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Notes Free-text history attached to leads and contacts, replicated for a full timeline Time & Attendance (UTA) Timekeeping and worked-hours data exposed by the UTA services; synced into scheduling, payroll, or workforce-analytics databases. Notes is specific to Nutshell and Time & Attendance (UTA) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products Line items attached to leads, used to sync sold products into billing 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. Products is specific to Nutshell and Employee (Person Details) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tags Segmentation labels mapped to lists or filters in downstream tools Employment Details Employment status, hire and service dates, and company assignment; the record that drives active/terminated state for provisioning downstream. Tags is specific to Nutshell and Employment Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Nutshell 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.

Nutshell Ukg Pro Sub-second propagation

DetectionNutshell notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling as fallback.

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

Ukg Pro Nutshell Sub-second propagation

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Nutshell: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
  • 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.

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.
