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.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- 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.

Connect
Section titled “Connect”-
In Pyn, open Settings in the left navigation, then Available under Integrations.
-
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.”
-
To sign in, leave API Key (optional) empty and select Connect. Authorise Pyn in Rippling and return.
-
To use a key instead, paste it into API Key (optional) (“Connect with a Rippling API key instead”) and select Connect.
-
The panel reads “You’re connected. Syncing can take a few minutes. Check the journey map then!”
