Rippling's App Shop organizes integrations into categories like recruiting, collaboration, accounting, CRM, office management, and access control. Most connections use Rippling's Employee Graph. These integrations sync on a lifecycle event like a hire, a role change, or a termination.
6 Popular integration categories include:
- Recruiting & Applicant Tracking: Skima AI automates recruitment by screening and ranking candidates while ensuring compliance within Rippling. Gem gives recruiters a two-way sync between sourcing and Rippling's own ATS.
- Collaboration & Productivity: Slack auto-provisions accounts and channels the moment a new hire is added. Google Workspace licenses are purchased & assigned automatically through Rippling as a reseller.
- Accounting & Legal: QuickBooks Online syncs payroll journal entries directly to your general ledger. Carta syncs equity and termination data bidirectionally for a full compensation picture.
- Customer Relationship Management: Salesforce creates accounts and permission sets the moment a sales hire joins. Pipedrive turns on and off CRM access automatically as employment status changes.
- Office Management: Envoy pulls your employee directory and time-off data for accurate attendance reporting. Gable assigns desk-booking roles and policies using your existing Rippling employee attributes.
- Access Management & Automation: 1Password provisions and deprovisions accounts through a SCIM bridge integrated with Rippling. SwagUp automatically ships welcome gifts the moment a new hire's start date arrives.
Every connection here uses one of three methods. Rippling's own API and webhooks, its internal no-code Workflow Automator, or a unified platform layered on top.
Rippling calls its integration directory the App Shop. It covers hundreds of apps across HR, IT, and finance. Browse the listing, and you will find recruiting tools, collaboration apps, and accounting connectors. All of it builds around one shared employee record.
That list tells you an app exists, not what actually happens once it connects to your Rippling account. This guide highlights the top 2 tools in 6 popular categories and explains the real mechanics behind each pairing.
Overview: 12 Tools That Integrate with Rippling
Recruiting and Applicant Tracking
Rippling Recruiting already works as a built-in ATS. Most third-party tools here extend it rather than replace it. The two below cover the screening and sourcing part, the two steps most teams still need extra help with.
1. Skima AI
Once integrated to Rippling, Skima AI screens, scores, and ranks all incoming candidate and existing employee profiles against the job requirements, ensuring compliance. It writes a 0-100 match score directly onto the candidate profile, and bulleted reasons explain the fit alongside the score.
Additionally, Skima AI's skills detection feature flags CVs with false skills, AI-generated content, and keyword stuffing. This ensures a high-quality shortlist based on verified candidate data. Moreover, a "Skima Screened" tag lets recruiters filter fast. The same scoring also works for Rippling's worker profiles. It identifies internal employees who match an open role before external sourcing starts.
What syncs: Worker, position, application, and performance data pulled from Rippling; match scores, reason bullets, and tags written back.
How it triggers: A job application is created or updated, a requisition opens, or an employee's skills or performance data changes.
How It Connects
- Create an API token scoped to employee and application data
- Use Bearer authentication with HTTPS for every request
- Configure custom fields in Rippling for Skima's match data
- Set up Workflow Studio triggers for application and profile updates
- Test scoring on sample requisitions before a full rollout
2. Gem
Gem's two-way sync pulls every open requisition, candidate, and application straight out of Rippling in real time. Recruiters get one unified pipeline view instead of switching between a sourcing tool and the ATS.
Assigning a Gem candidate to a Rippling requisition takes one click. The candidate's information syncs to their Rippling profile automatically. Gem also flags likely duplicate candidates between the two systems. That keeps recruiters from creating the same profile twice.
What syncs: Open requisitions, candidates, and applications pulled from Rippling; candidate assignments and profile data pushed back.
How it triggers: A recruiter assigning a Gem candidate to a Rippling requisition, or a new requisition opening in Rippling.
How It Connects
- Ask your Gem team to set your ATS integration to Rippling
- Confirm you have Gem Admin access and Rippling app install rights
- Navigate to Gem's listing inside the Rippling App Shop
- Click Connect Account and complete the authorization prompts
- Merge or create candidate profiles as they sync over
Collaboration and Productivity
Every new hire needs day-one access to chat and productivity tools. That is usually where onboarding slows down. Both tools below turn that setup into something that happens automatically, not a manual IT checklist.
3. Slack
Rippling's Slack connection ties account creation directly to HR events, not a separate IT request. Add a new employee in Rippling and their Slack account gets created and dropped into the right channels automatically.
Rippling's Supergroups feature drives that channel assignment, using attributes like department or location instead of manually built lists. When someone exits the company, Slack access gets revoked as part of the same offboarding workflow.
What syncs: Employee profile data, including display name, job title, and department, moving from Rippling into Slack.
How it triggers: A new employee added in Rippling, a role or department change, or a termination.
How It Connects
- Install Slack from the Rippling App Shop
- Authorize the connection with your Slack workspace admin credentials
- Define Supergroup rules for channel and account access
- Set provisioning rules for who gets access and when
- Confirm deprovisioning rules trigger correctly on offboarding
4. Google Workspace
Rippling operates as an official Google Workspace reseller, which changes how license management actually works. Instead of manually buying or reassigning a seat for every new hire, Rippling purchases and provisions licenses automatically.
Access Rules inside Rippling define who gets a Google Workspace license during onboarding, based on role or department. That same automation extends to group membership. New hires land in the right shared drives and calendars from day one.
What syncs: Employee attributes, license assignments, and group memberships moving from Rippling into Google Workspace.
How it triggers: A new hire onboarding, a role change, or an employee's department update in Rippling.
How It Connects
- Install Google Workspace from the Rippling App Shop
- Complete the 5 to 10 minute guided setup
- Define Access Rules for automatic license provisioning
- Map employee attributes to the correct Google groups
- Review provisioning on a test hire before scaling
Accounting and Legal
Payroll and equity both generate numbers finance and legal teams need elsewhere, and neither should require manual re-entry. Both tools below plug straight into Rippling's payroll and HR event stream.
5. QuickBooks Online
Rippling holds a direct API integration with QuickBooks Online, not a CSV export workflow. Every payroll cycle automatically creates a journal entry in your general ledger. That entry maps to your existing chart of accounts.
Employee, payroll, and accounting code data all move between the two systems without manual re-entry. That real-time link means QuickBooks always reflects the same numbers Rippling just processed in payroll.
What syncs: Payroll data, employee information, benefits, time off, and accounting codes moving from Rippling into QuickBooks.
How it triggers: Each completed payroll cycle in Rippling.
How It Connects
- Install QuickBooks Online from the Rippling App Shop
- Click Connect and authorize your QuickBooks account
- Map payroll accounts to your QuickBooks chart of accounts
- Configure which data types should sync automatically
- Complete a test payroll cycle before going live
6. Carta
Carta's integration works both directions, splitting equity and HR data cleanly between the two systems. Equity data syncs into Rippling, while employee attributes, compensation, and terminations sync into Carta.
That link gives managers a full view of an employee's salary and equity in one place. No one has to ask Finance or Legal. Terminating someone in Rippling instantly triggers their termination in Carta and prompts a vesting date review.
What syncs: Equity and cap table data moving into Rippling; employee attributes, compensation, and termination data moving into Carta.
How it triggers: A termination, compensation change, or other HR event processed in Rippling.
How It Connects
- Set up the integration from Carta's own dashboard
- Authenticate the connection with your Rippling admin credentials
- Configure which HR events should sync to Carta
- Set manager visibility rules for equity data in Rippling
- Confirm a test termination syncs and flags for vesting review
Customer Relationship Management
A new sales hire needs CRM access on their first date while a departing employee needs their access revoked immediately. Both tools below connect that access directly to employment status in Rippling.
7. Salesforce
Rippling ties Salesforce account provisioning directly to a sales hire's employment status. Adding a new account executive automatically creates their Salesforce account and assigns permission sets by department or role.
Deactivation works the same way in reverse, cutting off Salesforce access the moment someone exits the company. Rippling also keeps role and department data synced into Salesforce. Permission structures stay accurate as the sales team grows.
What syncs: Employee role, department, and account status moving from Rippling into Salesforce.
How it triggers: A new hire, a role or department change, or a termination in Rippling.
How It Connects
- Install Salesforce from the Rippling App Shop
- Authorize the connection using Salesforce System Administrator credentials
- Map departments and roles to Salesforce permission sets
- Set provisioning rules for which hires get accounts
- Test deactivation on an offboarding event before relying on it
8. Pipedrive
Pipedrive offers a seamless integration with Rippling. Hiring a new salesperson automatically creates their Pipedrive account, ready to use from their first day.
Offboarding works the same way, automatically disabling Pipedrive access so a departing employee cannot access customer data. This eliminates another manual step from an offboarding checklist that already has too many.
What syncs: Employee account status moving from Rippling into Pipedrive.
How it triggers: A new hire being added to Rippling, or an employee being offboarded.
How It Connects
- Find Rippling's listing in the Pipedrive Marketplace
- Authorize the connection with your Pipedrive admin account
- Confirm which roles should receive automatic Pipedrive access
- Set deprovisioning to trigger on offboarding events
- Test the connection with a sample new hire
Office Management
Facilities and workplace tools need accurate headcount and attendance data, which usually means someone manually updating a spreadsheet. Both tools below pull that data straight from Rippling instead.
9. Envoy
Envoy syncs your entire employee directory, whether that is ten people or ten thousand. Every update to your Rippling directory pushes through, so onboarding and offboarding happen without a manual export.
Adding time-off data sharpens Envoy's attendance reports. It gives context to missed check-ins instead of just flagging them as gaps. Approved time off shows up automatically, so a manager sees the real reason behind an empty desk.
What syncs: Employee directory and time-off data moving from Rippling into Envoy.
How it triggers: Any update to your Rippling directory, or an approved time-off request.
How It Connects
- Install Rippling from Envoy's integrations dashboard
- Generate a Rippling API token and copy it
- Paste the API token into Envoy's Rippling field
- Map your time-off types to Envoy's time-off categories
- Confirm your directory and attendance data sync correctly
10. Gable
Gable connects to Rippling with a one-click setup that automatically creates and removes user accounts. New hires get workspace access immediately, and departing employees lose it just as fast.
Roles like Admin, Booker, or Approver get assigned automatically based on Rippling attributes like department or cost center. Booking, budget, and space reports in Gable can then be sliced by those same Rippling attributes.
What syncs: Employee attributes, roles, and booking policies moving from Rippling into Gable.
How it triggers: A new hire, an offboarding event, or a change to an employee's department or location.
How It Connects
- Install Gable from the Rippling App Shop
- Complete the one-click account authorization
- Define which Rippling attributes map to Gable roles
- Set booking, budget, and approval policies by group
- Review the first synced reports before relying on them
Access Management and Automation
Rippling's own identity platform covers most access needs, but two gaps still call for outside tools. Password security for shared secrets, and lifecycle-triggered automation beyond Rippling's own workflows, both fit here.
11. 1Password
1Password connects to Rippling through a SCIM bridge, a standard protocol for automated user management. Users created in Rippling automatically get created in 1Password, with no separate account setup step.
Deactivating someone in Rippling suspends their 1Password access in the same motion. Group memberships also sync automatically, so 1Password's vault access always matches an employee's current Rippling teams and departments.
What syncs: User creation, attribute updates, deactivation, and group memberships moving from Rippling into 1Password.
How it triggers: A new hire, an attribute change, a deactivation, or a group membership update in Rippling.
How It Connects
- Deploy the 1Password SCIM Bridge on your own infrastructure
- Generate a scimsession file and bearer token during setup
- Add the 1Password application from the Rippling App Shop
- Enter your SCIM Bridge URL and bearer token in Rippling
- Confirm test users sync correctly before full rollout
12. SwagUp
SwagUp connects directly to Rippling's HR event stream, rather than requiring someone to manually trigger a shipment. A new hire's start date, birthday, or work anniversary can all kick off an automatic send.
Recruiters and HR teams set the rule once. They choose whether to send physical swag, a redemption page, or swag credits. Optional manual approval steps are available for teams that want it. A person can review each send before it goes out.
What syncs: New hire start dates, birthdays, and work anniversaries pulled from Rippling into SwagUp.
How it triggers: A new hire's start date arriving, or an employee's birthday or anniversary date in Rippling.
How It Connects
- Connect your SwagUp account to your Rippling HRIS account
- Choose which lifecycle events should trigger a send
- Select the action for each event, like a swag box or credits
- Turn on manual approval if a review step is needed
- Test with a sample new hire event before going live
Behind the Rippling Connection System
Almost every tool on this list reacts to Rippling's Employee Graph. That underlying directory holds every employee attribute in one place. That graph is what makes cross-system automation possible without custom code.
Some integrations, like Skima AI, authenticate through Rippling's REST API using OAuth 2.0 tokens. Others, like 1Password, use the SCIM protocol specifically built for user provisioning and deprovisioning.
3 Ways to Connect
1. API & Webhooks
Rippling's REST API authenticates through OAuth 2.0, giving partner apps scoped access to employee, position, and application data. Workflow Studio adds webhook-based triggers on top, firing the moment a defined HR event happens.
2. No-Code Automation
Rippling's own Workflow Automator lets admins build custom triggers off almost any employee attribute, without writing code. External tools like Zapier offer more limited native support here. Most teams connect through Rippling's API or webhooks directly.
3. Unified API Platforms
Platforms like Merge and Knit sit on top of Rippling's API. They extend that same connection across other HR systems at once. This matters most for companies pairing Rippling with several other tools that need the same employee data.
Final Note
2 tools per category reflect working connections and not a shortage of listings in Rippling's App Shop. The directory spans hundreds of partner apps across recruiting, collaboration, accounting, and access management. Only a fraction sync on a real trigger with a clear data flow.
If you are implementing the recruiting and applicant tracking infrastructure, one option stands out. Skima AI's integration with Rippling adds explainable match scoring across both external candidates and internal talent. It does this without disrupting how your recruiters already work in Rippling.
