What's the status of the ATS (candidate hired) → Namely flow today?

All flowing. Hire creates the employee record is live. No blockers flagged.

THE REALITY

Namely is brilliant at what it does. Useless at everything else your data + AI needs to touch.

Namely holds a clean employee profile, but payroll rekeys it, IT provisions by ticket, and finance reads headcount from an export. Workflow actions fire inside Namely while other systems wait.

The integration tool you've already tried probably can't fix it.

What Zapier + iPaaS reach

SaaS-to-SaaS. Useful, until it isn't.

Connectors for Namely, Slack + a thousand other SaaS apps. Cheap + fast for the easy half of integration. Where they hit a wall:

Payroll that needs the employee master, compensation and time-off the moment they change
IT directories that provision access on hire and revoke on termination
ATS and recruiting that create the employee record without rekeying
Finance and ERP that need headcount and worker cost tied to the right entity
Data warehouses + AI agents needing live employee, benefits and time signals

What Rayven reaches

Payroll, finance, IT, ATS + AI. One platform.

The integration platform built for what other tools can't (or won't) reach - plus an AI data fabric, MCP server + app builder layered on top.

Namely + every payroll, finance and IT directory system
Payroll systems, finance, IT directory, ATS + custom-built connectors.
Files, legacy SQL, FTP + custom-built connectors
Real-time bidirectional sync, tier-aware + rate-limit-safe
AI Data Fabric, MCP, automation + custom apps included

WHAT YOU CAN BUILD

Namely + Rayven: AI, automation + tools that reach every system you run.

ATS (candidate hired) → Namely

Hire creates the employee record

A candidate marked hired in your ATS creates the Namely employee profile with the right role, department and manager. Onboarding workflows fire without rekeying.

Anything that needs my attention right now?

3 items. 1 deal stuck, 1 account flagged, 1 task overdue.

NamelyATS (candidate hired)

Namely → IT directory

Start date provisions IT access

A hire creates accounts in Active Directory, Okta and Google Workspace with the right role and group. A termination revokes each one the moment HR closes the record, so access never lingers.

Snapshot of activity in the last 24 hrs?

47 events processed. 0 errors, 2 retries, all current.

NamelyIT directory

Namely → Payroll

Employee master flows clean to payroll

Hires, compensation changes and terminations flow to payroll with correct department and status. Payroll works from the live employee record, not a re-keyed export.

Status check - is everything in sync?

All current. Last sync 38 seconds ago, no backlog.

NamelyPayroll

Namely → Finance + ERP

Headcount + worker cost to finance

Headcount, department and worker-cost changes stream to ERP tied to the right entity. Workforce cost reporting keeps pace with the live org, not a scheduled export.

Booked revenue vs Namely closed-won this month?

$2.41M booked, $2.39M closed-won. Two deals awaiting invoice - flagged.

NamelyFinance + ERPNetSuite

Namely → Data warehouse + AI agents

People data, AI-ready

Every employee, benefits and time event streams into Rayven's data fabric. AI agents query live attrition risk, headcount forecast and time-off patterns across the workforce.

Any production delays linked to open opportunities?

2 delays. Line 3 down 4 hrs, batch 88 short 14 units.

BEYOND INTEGRATION

Integration is the start with Rayven.
Here's what comes with it.

Rayven isn't just a Namely connector. It's the operational software platform underneath - so once Namely is connected, four more capabilities come online by default.

AI-ready data layer (AI Data Fabric)

Namely data joined with ERP, IoT + legacy - contextualised, unified and structured so AI models, agents and tools can use it without ETL prep work.
Learn more →

Live AI access (Rayven MCP)

Claude, ChatGPT + Gemini get live, governed access to Namely and every other connected system. Your AI stops guessing - cites real Namely records + numbers.
Learn more →

Automation + AI agents

Workflows + AI agents act on Namely data without human intervention - escalate at-risk accounts, trigger operational work, auto-update forecasts, draft customer comms.
Learn more →

Custom apps + portals

Unified customer portals, ops dashboards, mobile field apps, partner portals - built on top of integrated Namely data. No separate BI tool, no separate dev stack.
Learn more →

All on top of your existing stack. No rip + replace. Namely stays Namely. Rayven works on what you've already built. Specifically tuned for Namely profile-field mapping + internal-workflow extension to downstream systems.

WHY RAYVEN · NOT JUST ANY CONNECTOR

The integration is the easy bit.
The platform + team behind it is the difference.

99.9% platform uptime

Platform + team. One commercial.

Not five vendors stitched together. Rayven is the platform AND the Australia-based expert team that scopes, builds + supports it. One commercial. No licence stacking, no finger-pointing.

PROFILE + WORKFLOW API NATIVE

Built for Namely's employee-profile model.

Rayven reads the Namely REST API and social-HR profile fields natively, keeping profile extensions intact. Employee, compensation and time updates stream to payroll and IT provisioning in real-time, while Namely's internal workflow actions extend out to the systems beyond it.

What is Namely integration?

Namely integration connects the employee record to the rest of your operation - payroll, finance, IT provisioning, ATS and AI. Rayven delivers Namely integration as part of an AI data fabric, not a single-purpose connector.

How does Rayven connect Namely to other systems?

Rayven uses the Namely REST API for real-time bidirectional sync, with profile fields preserved. Employees, benefits, time and workflow records all flow as first-class integration events. See the Rayven Platform for how integration and data layers fit together.

What systems can Rayven connect Namely to?

Rayven connects Namely to 1,228+ systems including payroll engines, Active Directory and Okta, ERP, ATS, and sibling HR platforms like BambooHR and HiBob. Custom integrations are part of done-for-you delivery.

How long does Namely integration take with Rayven?

Most Namely integrations go live in 2-12 weeks. A single Namely-to-payroll or provisioning flow runs in 2-3 weeks; a full employee-data fabric with automated onboarding and AI-led people analytics runs 6-12 weeks. Choose DIY, done-for-you or hybrid delivery.

Namely has an API + workflows. Why does Rayven add value on top?

The Namely API and workflow tools cover common paths. Rayven adds value where they stop: real-time provisioning to IT directories, employee master to payroll, headcount to finance, people analytics and the agent and portal layers on top. Rayven complements Namely. Read more in how Rayven works.

What are the most common Namely integration use cases?

Top use cases are hire-to-employee-record, IT provisioning and deprovisioning, employee master to payroll, headcount to finance and AI-led people analytics. See the automations above for specifics.

What are the technical specifics of Namely integration with Rayven?

Rayven uses the Namely REST API via token authentication for real-time bidirectional sync. Employees, social-HR profile fields, benefits, time and workflow records are preserved through the integration with field-level mapping into payroll, finance, IT directory, ATS and LMS targets. Profile fields that extend the employee record carry through intact rather than being flattened, and internal workflow actions are complemented by real-time sync to the systems that sit outside Namely. IT provisioning fires from hire and termination events, and compensation and time flow to payroll on change. Account-level rate limits are managed through batching, queuing and back-pressure so bulk employee loads never throttle out. Benefits data is normalised for downstream targets. Multi-company estates reconcile to one employee master via Rayven's employee-master layer. Validated against Namely with HR, payroll and benefits enabled.
