FAQ on integrating with ADP Workforce Now’s API

How frequently can Merge sync ADP Workforce Now data?

You can set the sync frequency based on your specific needs, which includes daily, weekly, or monthly syncs. Real-time webhooks are also supported for instantaneous updates.

Learn more about the sync frequencies you can use for a given Common Model (or one of Merge's normalized data models) here.

How does Merge interact with ADP Workforce Now's API?

Merge interacts with multiple ADP Workforce Now API endpoints to retrieve data such as employee details, locations, and time-off requests. Each interaction is mapped to specific fields like employee names, job titles, and time-off balances, ensuring that data is normalized for easy use.

Learn more about the endpoints Merge interacts with here.

How does Merge handle rate limits with ADP Workforce Now?

Merge adheres to ADP Workforce Now’s API rate limits to ensure smooth data transfers. If requests approach the limit, Merge will queue or throttle them automatically, preventing disruptions to your integration.

Can I access custom fields from ADP Workforce Now? 

Yes, with Merge’s Field Mapping feature, you or your users can map custom fields from ADP Workforce Now to Merge's Common Models, ensuring you have access to the data you need. You can also use Authenticated Passthrough Request to fetch specific data not included in Merge's normalized fields​​ or Remote Data to sync the data as it appears in a customer’s instance of ADP Workforce Now.

What other HRIS integrations can I access with Merge’s HRIS Unified API?

Merge supports over 70 HRIS integrations. Some notable integrations include BambooHR, Gusto, Workday, UKG Pro, Paycom, Namely, Rippling, Deel, and SAP SuccessFactors. That said, Merge also supports lesser-known integrations that are popular in specific regions, industries, and for companies of a certain size.

See the full list of HRIS integrations Merge supports here.

What are some common use cases for Merge’s integration with ADP Workforce Now?

Aside from auto-provisioning and deprovisioning users, Merge’s customers can use the integration in a variety of ways. Here are just a few use cases:

  • A gift-giving product can detect key milestone events from the integrated data (e.g., an employee’s birthday, work anniversary, promotion, etc.), and automatically kick off the appropriate gifting workflow
  • An admin in an IT management software can get alerted of a new hire and go on to select and ship their devices and equipment 
  • A financial modeling platform can receive employee data, including on-target earnings, to help users analyze and forecast key financial metrics—like runway, burn rate, and so on

Meta Endpoint

Programmatically access required schemas

Third-party providers require specific (and often different) fields to write data to their APIs, making your code a mess.

Dynamically fetch required data schemas from Merge’s /meta endpoint to make POST or PATCH requests that just work.
