15Five to ADP Integration: How to Connect 15Five with ADP

When someone is hired or updated in ADP, their profile appears in 15Five automatically — nobody retypes it. That sync is the foundation the rest sits on: completed performance review data travels back from 15Five into ADP, so adjustments, bonuses and salary promotions can be made with the review in front of you, and each employee’s objectives and key results arrive in ADP with their completion percentage. Your HR team stops maintaining two employee lists and starts seeing performance and payroll in one place.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connection for you and is one of the leading sellers of data connectors for ADP. There is also a turnkey connector that shares 33 data fields and lets you decide, field by field, what is visible in 15Five; 15Five’s onboarding team sets that version up. A turnkey integration goes live in 1–2 weeks and a custom integration in 8–10 weeks. The integration works with ADP Workforce Now, ADP Workforce Now Next Generation, ADP Lyric HCM, ADP Enterprise HR and ADP Vantage HCM.

How the integration works

1
Scoping. You pick the use cases you need from the list above. Flexspring maps every field between the two systems, including your custom fields and business rules.
2
Direct connection. Flexspring iPaaS connects the two systems to each other over secure APIs. There are no spreadsheets to export, no files to transfer, and no manual steps in the middle.
3
Near real-time sync. When a record changes — a hire, a promotion, an approved time-off request — the change moves across in near real time rather than waiting for an overnight batch.
4
Monitoring and error handling. The integration is monitored continuously, with error handling, visibility into every transaction, and a named support contact. When either app changes their API, Flexspring updates your integration.
5
Ongoing changes. Your integration is future-proofed for ongoing enhancements without re-implementation, and adapts to custom fields, new locations, new systems and business rules.

Flexspring iPaaS does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Frequently asked questions

Does 15Five integrate with ADP?

With data integration, new hires and employee updates move from ADP into 15Five automatically to create employee profiles, and completed performance review data plus objectives and key results travel back from 15Five into ADP. Flexspring builds the integration to match your custom fields and business rules, then hosts and monitors it.

How do I connect 15Five to ADP?

You decide which information you want to sync, and a data integration expert like Flexspring maps every field between the two systems and builds the connection. Custom integrations by Flexspring include unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. There is nothing for your team to install or maintain. There is also a turnkey connector that shares 33 standard data fields, which 15Five’s onboarding team sets up.

What employee information syncs?

With data integration, new hires and employee updates sync from ADP into 15Five to build each employee profile. Completed performance review data syncs from 15Five into ADP — up to five questions of your choice — along with objectives and key results and their completion percentage, placed in the ADP custom field you choose. You can also add one-time payments, banking and tax, expense management, learning management, equity systems, background checks, and assessments.

How long does the integration take?

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connector. A turnkey integration of new hires from 15Five to ADP is fully deployed in 1–2 weeks. A custom integration takes 8–10 weeks. Most businesses need the custom build to match their own field names and custom fields. Custom integration by Flexspring includes unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. Flexspring does all the data mapping, so no internal IT resources are needed.

Is our employee data stored anywhere during the transfer?

Flexspring does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and does not require anyone to handle the data manually. Flexspring meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Do we need IT or a developer to set this up?

No internal IT resources are needed to create your data integration. Flexspring’s team builds the integration to your requirements and monitors it afterwards, including handling API changes from either vendor. Your part is deciding which use cases you need and confirming Flexspring’s recommendations for how your fields should map.

Why connect 15Five to ADP?

With data integration, when someone is hired or updated in ADP, their profile appears in 15Five automatically — nobody retypes it. Your HR team stops maintaining two employee lists, and completed review data lands back in ADP so adjustments, bonuses and salary promotions can be made with the review in front of you.

What’s the best way to connect 15Five to ADP?

The best way to connect 15Five to ADP depends on your data and business requirements. A standard connector can work for simple data flows, while custom fields and unique business rules require a tailored integration. If you go the custom route, you can build the integration yourself or choose a managed integration like Flexspring’s — built and maintained for you, which is typically faster and cheaper.
