Why teams connect SendGrid and Ukg Ready

Keep the people, teams, and status that SendGrid 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 SendGrid 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 Segments, Categories, Senders, Single Sends in SendGrid with Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees, Employment / Positions, Compensation 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 SendGrid within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where SendGrid 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 Sync CRM contacts and their custom fields into SendGrid lists so campaign targeting reflects live sales data
  • 02 Write bounces, spam reports, and unsubscribes back to the CRM to keep email opt-in status accurate everywhere
  • 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

Onboarding: access ready on day one

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

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.

What you can sync between SendGrid 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.

SendGrid objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Senders Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Senders is specific to SendGrid and Benefits to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Single Sends One-off marketing campaigns whose stats are read back for reporting. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Single Sends is specific to SendGrid and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Unsubscribe Groups Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Unsubscribe Groups is specific to SendGrid and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Email Activity Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Email Activity is specific to SendGrid and Employees to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Marketing recipients upserted from CRM or database records, including custom field values. Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Contacts is specific to SendGrid and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
List Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Compensation Salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and FLSA status; often mastered elsewhere and written onto the employee record, or read into finance. List is specific to SendGrid and Compensation to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between SendGrid 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.

SendGrid Ukg Ready Sub-second propagation

DetectionSendGrid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Webhook posts delivery and engagement events (processed, delivered, open, click, bounce, spam report) to an HTTP endpoint.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • SendGrid: Subject to the platform's API rate limits; contact upserts are batched, asynchronous jobs rather than per-row writes.
  • 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.
