Rippling + Nectar Integration

Automatically sync employee data from Rippling into Nectar to power seamless recognition, rewards, and engagement programs.

Keep your workforce data aligned across HR, IT, and culture — without manual uploads or administrative overhead.

Overview

The Rippling + Nectar integration connects your HR and workforce management system directly to Nectar, ensuring employee data stays accurate and up to date across your recognition platform.
This integration is ideal for:

• HR and People Ops teams using Rippling as their system of record
• IT teams managing user provisioning and access control
• Fast-growing companies that need scalable onboarding and offboarding processes

By integrating Rippling with Nectar, organizations can automatically provision new hires, reflect organizational changes, and streamline offboarding — helping culture programs scale alongside headcount growth.

How It Works

Nectar integrates with Rippling to sync key employee information into the platform.

What data syncs

Common employee fields include:

• First and last name
• Work email
• Job title
• Department
• Manager relationships
• Location
• Employment status (active/inactive)

Sync behavior

• New hires added in Rippling can be automatically created in Nectar
• Changes to roles, departments, or managers sync to maintain reporting accuracy
• Employees who leave the organization can be automatically deactivated in Nectar

Authentication method

The integration connects securely via API-based authentication using authorized admin credentials.

Where users interact

Admins configure the integration inside Nectar settings. Employees use Nectar normally — recognizing peers, redeeming rewards, and engaging in culture initiatives — powered by synced HR data behind the scenes.

What our customers are saying

"Before Nectar, our turnover rate was around 25%. Now it’s less than 7%, which has made a huge difference for us in keeping our team together.”

Kelly Hayes
Director of Human Resources

"Before Nectar, our wellness program participation was just over 35%. Now, we’re seeing participation rates close to 80%, which has been a game-changer for employee engagement."

Lorelei N.
Community Engagement Director

"We used to spend up to two days each month manually recognizing employees for birthdays and anniversaries. Now, Nectar handles all of that automatically, which has been a huge time-saver."

Hannah R.
Senior HR Director

"One of our team members said, ‘It’s the little things like getting recognized that make me feel like I’m not just a number, even when I’m working remotely.’"

Zach C.
Marketing Manager

"Even with everyone working from home, it felt like we were all still part of the same team when we saw those shout-outs come through."

Robin C.
People and Culture Manager

"I credit Nectar with keeping our engagement from taking a huge hit during challenges that the business has faced. Like many companies, we went through a huge cost saving exercise over the last 6 months... but I will tell you it was NEVER an option for leadership to consider canceling or changing the Nectar contract. It's too important to who we are."
