Why teams connect Ukg Ready and Yellowbrick

Land the people and organization records from Ukg Ready in Yellowbrick as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Ukg Ready 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 Ready 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 Compensation, Timesheet Entries, Accruals / Time Off, Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) from Ukg Ready 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 Ready 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 CRM and marketing data into Yellowbrick tables so it can be joined with large fact tables for enterprise BI.
  • 02 Land ERP transactional extracts in Yellowbrick for finance and supply-chain analytics.
  • 03 Mirror Cost Centers/Groups and Compensation into finance and planning systems for headcount and budget reconciliation.
  • 04 Two-way sync Employees and Employment/Position records with an operational Postgres database so internal apps and IT provisioning read job title, department, and status in SQL while HR edits in UKG Ready.

Common sync patterns

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

Analysts combine Ukg Ready'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.

Queryable history for planning and audit

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

What you can sync between Ukg Ready 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 Ready objects Yellowbrick objects How this pairing syncs
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. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by source or domain. Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) is specific to Ukg Ready and Schemas to Yellowbrick — 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. Tables Columnar MPP tables; the primary targets for warehouse syncs. Benefits is specific to Ukg Ready and Tables to Yellowbrick — 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. Views Logical views used to shape reads for BI and downstream syncs. Cost Centers / Groups is specific to Ukg Ready and Views to Yellowbrick — 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. Users and Roles Access-control objects that govern what a sync service account can read and write. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) is specific to Ukg Ready and Users and Roles to Yellowbrick — 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. Databases Top-level containers for schemas and tables. Employees is specific to Ukg Ready and Databases to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ukg Ready 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 Ready Yellowbrick 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 Yellowbrick as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Yellowbrick Ukg Ready 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 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.
  • 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 Ready and Yellowbrick 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
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

Yellowbrick

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible) with JDBC/ODBC drivers; bulk loading via the ybload utility
Authentication
Database credentials, with LDAP and Kerberos options in enterprise deployments
Change detection
Polling on timestamp columns; no exposed transaction-log CDC
Capabilities
