UKG to Salesforce Integration: How to Connect UKG with Salesforce

Flexspring connects UKG to Salesforce through a near real-time API-to-API connection, so new hires, employee changes and paycheck data appear in Salesforce automatically — nobody retypes them. Employee records stay current for the teams working in Salesforce, and employees can see their payslips there after each payroll cycle.

The integration works with UKG Pro, UKG Ready and UKG Pro Workforce Management. Salesforce is highly customizable, and Flexspring’s custom integrations handle that complexity — mapping any data from UKG to Salesforce, including your custom fields. A custom integration is fully deployed in 8-12 weeks, depending on complexity.

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.
