Why teams connect Ukg Pro and Yellowbrick

Land the people and organization records from Ukg Pro in Yellowbrick 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 Yellowbrick next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Time & Attendance (UTA), Employee (Person Details), Employment Details, Job / Position History from Ukg Pro into tables in Yellowbrick continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Yellowbrick, 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 Land ERP transactional extracts in Yellowbrick for finance and supply-chain analytics.
  • 02 Push warehouse-computed aggregates or segments back into operational tools such as a CRM.
  • 03 Deprovision accounts by subscribing to UKG Pro termination and job-change webhook events to disable IdP and app access as changes become effective.
  • 04 Keep Configuration code tables (jobs, locations, departments, cost centers) aligned between UKG Pro and an ERP so org and cost-center hierarchies match.

Common sync patterns

HR data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

People and organization records from Ukg Pro arrive in Yellowbrick as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind, replacing hand-built extract jobs.

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

Analysts combine Ukg Pro's workforce records with finance, product, or operational data already in Yellowbrick 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.

What you can sync between Ukg Pro and Yellowbrick

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.

Ukg Pro objects Yellowbrick objects How this pairing syncs
Terminations Termination transactions posted with a terminationDate and a reason code that must match the tenant's configured reason table; drives account deprovisioning. Views Logical views used to shape reads for BI and downstream syncs. Terminations is specific to Ukg Pro and Views to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Users and Roles Access-control objects that govern what a sync service account can read and write. Configuration Setup (Code Tables) is specific to Ukg Pro and Users and Roles to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Time & Attendance (UTA) Timekeeping and worked-hours data exposed by the UTA services; synced into scheduling, payroll, or workforce-analytics databases. Databases Top-level containers for schemas and tables. Time & Attendance (UTA) is specific to Ukg Pro and Databases to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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 Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by source or domain. Employee (Person Details) is specific to Ukg Pro and Schemas to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employment Details Employment status, hire and service dates, and company assignment; the record that drives active/terminated state for provisioning downstream. Tables Columnar MPP tables; the primary targets for warehouse syncs. Employment Details is specific to Ukg Pro and Tables to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ukg Pro and Yellowbrick

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.

Ukg Pro Yellowbrick Sub-second propagation

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

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

Yellowbrick Ukg Pro Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Yellowbrick for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp columns.

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

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.
  • Yellowbrick: No API rate limits; throughput depends on cluster sizing, and bulk loads should use ybload rather than row-by-row inserts.

How the Ukg Pro and Yellowbrick connectors work

Ukg Pro

Integration surface
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.
Capabilities

Rate limits
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.
