Why teams connect Ukg Ready and Xactly

Keep the people who own accounts in Xactly 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.

Xactly 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 Orders, Credits, Transactions (Commission & Bonus), Participants (Payees) in Xactly with Employees, Employment / Positions, Compensation, Timesheet Entries 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 Xactly keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Participants, Positions, Titles, and Quotas from an HRIS/HCM and planning tools into Xactly so the org hierarchy and targets stay aligned with headcount changes.
  • 02 Push approved Payment Summary amounts from Incent into a payroll or accounts-payable system so payouts are paid from the mastered comp result.
  • 03 Feed Timesheet Entries and Accruals/Time Off into a data warehouse for labor-cost, overtime, and PTO-liability reporting.
  • 04 Mirror Cost Centers/Groups and Compensation into finance and planning systems for headcount and budget reconciliation.

Common sync patterns

New team members provisioned when they are hired

When Ukg Ready records a new hire, a matching user or owner is created in Xactly, 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 Xactly update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.

Deactivate access when someone leaves

When Ukg Ready marks a worker as departed, the matching user in Xactly is flagged or deactivated, so former employees do not keep CRM access after their last day.

What you can sync between Ukg Ready and Xactly

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 Ready objects Xactly objects How this pairing syncs
Accruals / Time Off PTO balances, requests, and approver status; read for liability reporting and requests can be created against employee records. Participants (Payees) Sales reps and payees keyed to positions; loaded and updated from HRIS/HCM source data through Connect (write) and read for roster reporting, so read and write. Accruals / Time Off is specific to Ukg Ready and Participants (Payees) to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Positions & Titles Org-hierarchy positions and titles that credits and quotas roll up to; loaded and maintained through Connect (write) and read to resolve the hierarchy, so read and write. Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) is specific to Ukg Ready and Positions & Titles to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Quotas / Targets Period quota and target values per position or plan; loaded from planning tools through Connect (write) and read for attainment reporting, so read and write. Benefits is specific to Ukg Ready and Quotas / Targets to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Payment Summary (Payable) Approved payable amounts per participant per period; read as the output that feeds payroll and accounts payable, so effectively read-only. Cost Centers / Groups is specific to Ukg Ready and Payment Summary (Payable) to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Products & Customers Product and customer/account master used in crediting rules and reporting; loaded and updated from CRM/ERP through Connect (write) and read for lookups, so read and write. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) is specific to Ukg Ready and Products & Customers to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Orders Sales order and transaction records loaded into Incent as the raw input for crediting and calculation; created and updated through Connect load and ETL steps (write) and read back for reconciliation, so read and write. Employees is specific to Ukg Ready and Orders to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ukg Ready and Xactly

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 Ready Xactly 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 applied to Xactly as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Xactly Ukg Ready Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Xactly for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No CDC log for external tools to consume.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Xactly: Xactly does not publish numeric per-second rate limits. The Connect platform enforces query concurrency and long-running-query limits, so large extracts are paged and heavy loads/queries run as asynchronous Connect jobs (submit, then retrieve results) rather than row-by-row calls; batch loads are the supported path for high volume.

How the Ukg Ready and Xactly connectors work

Ukg Ready

Integration surface
UKG Ready REST API (v1/v2) plus the Import Tool (XML transactions) and Report-as-a-Service (IBM Cognos); a legacy SOAP API also exists
Authentication
A 7-digit company short name, a Web API key (Company Setup > Login Config), and a dedicated API service-account user (username/password) are exchanged for a session Bearer token sent on every request; Onboarding/Recruiting endpoints use a separate authorization token
Change detection
UKG Webhooks for select events (employee.created, employee.updated, account/org changes) with HMAC signing; broad change capture via polling REST endpoints with date filters or scheduled Report-as-a-Service extracts
Capabilities

Rate limits

Xactly

Integration surface
Xactly Connect REST API v2 (JSON), plus ODBC/JDBC drivers over the same ANSI-SQL data model. Incent data is exposed as SQL-queryable objects (for example xactly_order, xactly_credit, xactly_transaction, xactly_payment); data is loaded and extracted through Connect load/query steps and server-side ETL Pipelines. The base host is region/pod-specific (for example https://<pod>.xactlycorp.com).
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via the Xactly Connect API Gateway (bearer tokens issued on behalf of an Xactly Incent user), with HTTP Basic authentication using a dedicated Xactly Connect service-user's credentials also supported for the Connect REST API v2. The connecting user needs Connect/API access plus the relevant object permissions in Incent.
Change detection
No CDC log for external tools to consume. Incremental sync uses SQL predicates on modified/last-updated timestamp columns (for example WHERE modified_date > watermark) against Connect's queryable objects, or scheduled Connect ETL Pipelines that pull deltas since the last run. Xactly Connect has no outbound HTTP webhooks, so change detection is pull/ETL-based.
