How do I keep my Tilt and UKG connection up to date, and what do I do if it stops working?
Daily sync, one-click resync — here's how to keep your UKG connection healthy, and what to do if it breaks.
Once you've connected Tilt and UKG, your employee data updates automatically every day — if your credentials change or something looks wrong, you can resync the connection or contact Tilt Support directly.
Who this applies to / Prerequisites
- You've already completed the first-time connection between Tilt and UKG Pro or Ready.
- You have the HR Admin role in Tilt.
- Applies only to organizations using the UKG Pro or UKG Ready integration.
Steps
- Log into Tilt with your HR Admin account.
- Click Org Settings, then select Integrations.
- Click the Merge tile and find UKG.
- Click Resync. This button only appears after your first successful connection.
- If prompted, enter your updated UKG credentials (Application Key, Client ID, Client Secret, or API key) and follow the same prompts as your original connection.
What if it doesn't work
- If the connection screen shows an error message while resyncing, follow its instructions — it will tell you specifically what's wrong (for example, an invalid or expired credential).
- If you don't see an error but data still isn't updating, contact Tilt Support. The Tilt team also monitors integration health and will reach out if it flags a problem on its own, but you don't need to wait for that — reach out any time you have concerns.
- If your UKG credentials have expired, get new ones from UKG and resync using the steps above.
Limits and exceptions
- Data updates once a day. Tilt doesn't sync UKG data in real time.
- This integration doesn't pull pay history. You still need to:
- Create and maintain pay schedules directly in Tilt.
- Upload pay stubs (or send a pay history file) when an employee submits a leave.
- Answer the 1,250-hours eligibility question manually on leave surveys.
- The Resync button only appears after your first successful connection — you can't resync before completing initial setup (see "How do I connect Tilt and UKG Pro or Ready?").
- Leave Specialists are notified automatically only about changes that could affect leave eligibility or pay for employees currently on a leave of absence — not every data change triggers a notification.
