How Does User Sync Integration Work in SchedulePop?
User Sync ensures that employee information in SchedulePop stays aligned with your organization’s payroll or HR system. This article explains what information syncs, how often it syncs, and what managers should expect during day-to-day operations.
What Is User Sync?
User Sync automatically updates user information in SchedulePop based on data from your organization’s payroll/HR system.
- Payroll system = Source of Truth
Any user information entered or edited in payroll will override changes made in SchedulePop. - Sync Frequency: Approximately every 24 hours
- First Sync: When integration is first activated, SchedulePop’s Client Success team completes a manual sync before automation begins.
Why Does User Sync Matters?
Without integration, managers would need to manually update employee information across multiple systems. With User Sync:
- HR updates employee info once in payroll
- SchedulePop updates automatically within 24 hours
- Managers avoid duplicate manual updates
Example:
HR edits an employee’s email → The change updates in payroll → SchedulePop updates within 24 hours.
What Information Typically Syncs?
The exact fields depend on what your payroll/HR platform makes available.
Most integrations include:
Common Synced Fields
- First & Last Name
- Email Address
- Phone Number
- CMS Labor Code (if applicable to your organization)
- Primary Duty
- Primary Zone
- Employment Status (e.g., active, terminated etc.)
- Seniority Information (hire date, etc.)
- Pay Rates (if included in your integration)
- These fields will automatically populate and update inside each user’s profile in SchedulePop.
Understanding “Primary” Duty & Zone
Your payroll system typically sends only one duty and one zone, referred to as:
- Primary Duty
- Primary Zone
You may add additional duties or zones in SchedulePop, but:
- The primary duty/zone cannot be removed
- They will always remain synced and will be overwritten daily if edited inside SchedulePop
Adding New Staff Through Payroll
When HR adds a new employee in payroll:
- The new hire syncs into SchedulePop within 24 hours
- They automatically receive a SchedulePop welcome email prompting them to set up their account
- They appear in Users → User List once synced
- They may already exist in another SchedulePop location
- Or a sync error occurred
→ Contact your SchedulePop representative
→ Do NOT manually add the user (this will create duplicates)
Summary
User Sync ensures consistent and accurate employee data across your systems.
- Payroll remains the source of truth
- Syncs occur about every 24 hours
- Most core user information is automatically updated
- Primary duty/zone always syncs and cannot be removed
- New hires appear within 24 hours—avoid manual creation
