Overview Install Klaar from Rippling Data Flows FAQs

Overview

Rippling is the source of truth for your employee data. Once connected, Klaar pulls that data automatically, so your performance management platform always reflects your real org. No CSV uploads, no manual account creation, no chasing IT every time someone joins or leaves.

Once Rippling is integrated with Klaar:

New hires appear in Klaar automatically

When an employee is created in Rippling, a webhook triggers a sync and their Klaar account is set up with the right title, department, level, and location. Nobody has to create accounts by hand.

Org changes stay current

Employee data syncs from Rippling to Klaar automatically every 24 hours, covering titles, departments, teams, job families, levels, employment types, locations, and more. You can also trigger a manual sync from Klaar whenever you need the latest data right away.

Departures are handled cleanly

When an employee is deleted in Rippling, their Klaar account is automatically marked as Disabled. Their performance history stays intact, but they no longer have access.

You stay in control

Before auto-sync goes live, Klaar runs a test sync so you can review exactly how your Rippling fields map to Klaar. Auto-sync only activates after you click Verify & Confirm.
