**Alpha release**

This source is currently in **alpha**. The interface and available tables may change.

The Rippling connector automatically pulls your Rippling workforce and HR data into the PostHog data warehouse.

## Adding a data source

1.  Go to the [sources tab](https://app.posthog.com/data-management/sources) of the data pipeline section in PostHog.
2.  Click **\+ New source** and then click **Link** next to Rippling.
3.  You need a Rippling API token. In your Rippling admin console, go to **Settings** > **Company Settings** > **API Access** and create a scoped API token. Enable the read scope for each dataset you want to sync (see [required scopes](#required-scopes) below).
4.  Back in PostHog, enter the token in the **API token** field and click **Next**.
5.  Select the tables you want to sync, set the sync method and frequency, then click **Import**.

Once the syncs are complete, you can start using Rippling data in PostHog.

**Token expiry**

Rippling API tokens expire after 30 days of inactivity. If syncs start failing with authentication errors, generate a new token in Rippling and update it in PostHog.

## Available tables

| Table | Description | Sync method |
| --- | --- | --- |
| workers | Employee and contractor records | Incremental |
| users | Rippling platform users | Incremental |
| companies | Company information | Incremental |
| departments | Organizational departments | Incremental |
| teams | Team groupings | Incremental |
| levels | Job levels and seniority tiers | Incremental |
| work_locations | Office and work location records | Incremental |
| employment_types | Employment type definitions (full-time, part-time, etc.) | Incremental |
| compensations | Compensation and salary data | Incremental |

**Incremental** tables sync only new or updated records on each run using `updated_at` or `created_at` cursors.

## Required scopes

Rippling API tokens are scoped per dataset. Your token needs the read permission for each table you want to sync. If a scope is missing, that specific table fails with a permissions error while other tables continue to sync normally.

| Table | Required scope |
| --- | --- |
| workers | workers.read |
| users | users.read |
| companies | companies.read |
| departments | departments.read |
| teams | teams.read |
| levels | levels.read |
| work_locations | work-locations.read |
| employment_types | employment-types.read |
| compensations | compensations.read |

## Configuration
