Rippling

The Rippling integration reads workers from Rippling’s API and keeps the Directory current: names, work and personal email, start and termination dates, title, department, manager, employment and worker type. Pyn reads only; nothing is written back.

  • You are an admin or owner in Pyn.
  • Either you can sign in to Rippling as an administrator and authorise Pyn, or a Rippling admin has created an API key for Pyn.
The Connect to Rippling dialog with the optional API Key field.
Connect to Rippling redirects you to Rippling, or takes an API key instead.
  1. In Pyn, open Settings in the left navigation, then Available under Integrations.

  2. Select the Rippling tile. The Connect to Rippling dialog opens: “You will be redirected to Rippling to authorize Pyn to access your company’s employee data.”

  3. To sign in, leave API Key (optional) empty and select Connect. Authorise Pyn in Rippling and return.

  4. To use a key instead, paste it into API Key (optional) (“Connect with a Rippling API key instead”) and select Connect.

  5. The panel reads “You’re connected. Syncing can take a few minutes. Check the journey map then!”

Pyn refreshes from Rippling every five minutes while the integration is active and records each run under History. The Details tab shows Expanded Data, the related records Pyn requests with each worker: Department, Employment Type, Manager and Teams; you can change the selection there.
