Salesforce to ADP Integration: How to Connect Salesforce with ADP

When a new employee is created in Salesforce, their information appears in ADP automatically — nobody retypes it. Flexspring connects Salesforce to ADP Workforce Now directly, so new hires, employee updates and time and attendance summaries move into ADP in near real time over an API-to-API connection, and payments and deductions come back the other way.

Employee updates cover promotions, terminations, rehires and any other fields you choose. Time and attendance summaries carry work hours, paid time off, vacation and sick days, so payroll is calculated accurately in ADP. Payments that sit outside standard compensation — bonuses, company stock, other monetary awards — and approved expense reimbursements flow from ADP into Salesforce.

Salesforce is highly customizable, and Flexspring’s custom integrations handle that complexity, mapping any data between Salesforce and ADP. Integrations work with ADP Workforce Now, ADP Workforce Now Next Generation and ADP Vantage HCM, and the Salesforce connector is available on the ADP Marketplace. With Flexspring, you only pay for the use case or use cases you need.

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.
