ADP
Sync your ADP Workforce Now data with Flowstate to keep employee records, org structure, and salary information in sync automatically.
What syncs
| Data | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Employees | ADP → Flowstate | Names, emails, start dates, job titles, departments |
| Org structure | ADP → Flowstate | Teams, reporting lines, manager relationships |
| Salary data | ADP → Flowstate | Base salary, currency, pay frequency |
| Geographies | ADP → Flowstate | Work locations and office assignments |
| New hires & terminations | ADP → Flowstate | Automatically reflects joiners and leavers |
| Headcount changes | Flowstate → ADP | Approved scenario changes can be pushed back to ADP |
Why connect ADP?
- No manual data entry — Employee records stay in sync without spreadsheet imports
- Salary accuracy — Flowstate's cost forecasts use real compensation data, not estimates
- Org structure is always current — Team hierarchies and reporting lines update automatically
- New hires appear on day one — No waiting for someone to add them to Flowstate manually
- Leavers are handled gracefully — Terminations flow through with correct end dates
Getting started
- Go to Settings → Data Integrations → ADP
- Click Connect with ADP to start the OAuth authorisation
- Sign in to your ADP account and grant Flowstate access
- Select which data to sync (employees, org structure, salary)
- Choose sync frequency (daily recommended)
- Click Confirm
Initial sync typically completes within a few minutes for organisations under 1,000 employees.
What happens during sync
- New employees in ADP are created in Flowstate with their team, role, and salary
- Updated records (title changes, team moves, salary adjustments) are reflected automatically
- Terminated employees have their end date set in Flowstate — they remain in historical reports but are marked as inactive
- Conflicts — if someone manually changes a record in Flowstate that ADP later updates, the ADP data takes precedence (ADP is the source of truth for HR data)
Troubleshooting
Employees aren't syncing
- Check that the ADP connection is still authorised (tokens can expire)
- Verify the employee exists in the ADP company you connected
Salary data looks wrong
- Flowstate stores annual salary equivalent — check that the pay frequency conversion is correct
- Currency is pulled from the employee's ADP record
