How to connect UKG Ready to Binom: vacation and accrual balances, overtime requests, job openings. Available on request.
The UKG Ready integration with Binom helps employees with HR questions: the AI employee tells them their vacation balance and other accruals, submits an overtime request, and shows open vacancies. UKG Ready is available on request in the Binom dashboard: Integrations → More integrations → UKG Ready.
What Binom can do in UKG Ready
Here, Binom refers to your AI employee. Once UKG Ready is connected, it calls the service's actions when a conversation needs that data. You decide which actions it can use. In the dashboard, each action is labeled: read (Binom only views data), write or delete (Binom changes or deletes data in UKG Ready).
| Section | What Binom can view | What Binom can change |
|---|---|---|
| Employees | Employees, vacation accruals | Adjusting accruals |
| Overtime | Overtime requests | Creating and deleting a request |
| Hiring | Open positions, applications | Creating and changing an application |
| Schedules | Schedules | Creating a schedule |
| Payroll | Pay periods, salaries, benefits | Creating a pay calculation |
Can Binom tell me my vacation balance in UKG Ready?
Yes. The employee asks in the chat, and Binom reports their accruals and balance ("Get Employee Accrual Balances (v2)").
Overtime requests
Binom submits an overtime request ("Create Overtime Request") with the reason taken from the conversation ("Lookup Overtime Reasons").
What access you will need
Connection method: OAuth 2.0 with client keys. Details for each method are shown in the "Authentication" block on the UKG Ready page in the dashboard.
How to get the UKG Ready integration
UKG Ready is connected on request: first, the Binom team sets up the integration for your account. General catalog rules are described in the instructions how to connect a service from "More integrations".
- Open Integrations → More integrations, enter "UKG Ready" in the "Search integrations" field, and open the UKG Ready card.
- The "UKG Ready integration for assistant" page will show the message "Integration is available on request. Request it now, and we will set it up for you as a priority." The assistant here is your Binom. The "Authentication" block shows which access you will need, and the "Actions" list shows everything Binom can do in UKG Ready.
- Click "Request integration". The message "Request sent. You will receive a notification when the integration is available." will appear, and the button will change to "Requested".
- A Binom setup specialist will contact you. When the integration is ready, a "Connect" button will appear on the UKG Ready page.
- Click "Connect," go through the steps in the "Connecting UKG Ready" window, and click "Done". After "Connecting…", the status will change to "Connected". If you see "Confirmation has not arrived yet. The connection may still complete, so check again in a minute.", click "Check again".
How to choose what Binom can do in UKG Ready
A connected integration does nothing until you allow actions. The dashboard states this directly: "Select the actions the assistant may call. Until something is selected, it has no access to anything."
- On the UKG Ready page, tick the actions you need in the "Actions" list. The "Filter by actions" field helps you find them by name. The counter shows how many are selected.
- Check the "Ask before changing data" toggle. It is on by default: before any write or delete action, Binom will describe what it intends to do and wait for your approval.
- Click "Save". The message "Allowed actions saved" confirms your changes.
To start, "Get Employee Accrual Balances (v2)", "Lookup Overtime Reasons", "Create Overtime Request" and "List Job Requisitions" are enough. Add write and delete actions when you are ready to let Binom make changes in UKG Ready.
How to check that the integration works
- Start a new conversation with your Binom, for example through a public chat link, ask about your vacation balance, and compare the answer with UKG Ready.
Possible issues
Binom does not use UKG Ready data in its answers
What to check: the UKG Ready status is "Connected" and the needed actions are ticked (for example "Lookup Overtime Reasons").
What to do: tick the actions and click "Save".
How to tell it is resolved: the "Allowed actions saved" message appears, and in a new conversation Binom answers using UKG Ready data.
"Could not save the request. Please try again."
What to do: click "Request integration" again. If the message keeps appearing, write to support@binomai.com with the name of your Binom and the integration (UKG Ready).
How to tell it is resolved: the button shows "Requested".
"Integration is temporarily unavailable – your request has been saved."
You don't need to do anything else: the request is saved, and you will get a notification when UKG Ready becomes available to connect.
"Reconnection required"
What it means: "The service no longer accepts saved credentials, so the assistant does not use them."
What to do: open the UKG Ready page in More integrations, click "Reconnect" and go through the connection window again.
How to tell it is resolved: the status shows "Connected".
"Could not start the connection. Please try again."
What to do: click "Connect" again. If the message keeps appearing, write to support@binomai.com with the name of your Binom, the integration (UKG Ready) and a screenshot of the message.
How to tell it is resolved: the "Connect UKG Ready" window opens.
"On a paid plan" instead of the connect button
The page will show "Available on a paid plan. Tell us what you need, and we will notify you when it launches." For what each plan includes, see the plans and subscription pricing page, and for how to change your plan, see the guide how to change or upgrade your plan. After changing your plan, return to More integrations and open UKG Ready again.
"You do not have permission to manage this section."
What this means: only users with the Owner or Admin access level can manage integrations.
What to do: ask your account owner to grant you the Admin access level or to connect UKG Ready yourself. More: access levels in a team.
How to tell it's resolved: after you refresh the page, the integration settings open.
If the problem isn't resolved, email support@binomai.com or write "I want to talk to a person" in the chat with Binom Tutor. Include the name of the Binom, the integration, and attach a screenshot of the message.
How to disconnect UKG Ready
On the UKG Ready page, click "Disconnect". The "Disconnect UKG Ready?" window will show a warning: "The assistant will lose access to the service. To restore it, you will need to reconnect the integration and enter the credentials again." Confirm, and "Integration disconnected" will appear.
Other Common Questions
Do I need a developer to integrate UKG Ready?
No. You request UKG Ready in the Integrations → More integrations section, the Binom team sets up the integration, and then you connect the account yourself and choose the actions.
