ContactMonkey + Paylocity

Your Paylocity HRIS and your comms. Always in sync.

Connect ContactMonkey directly to Paylocity and keep your employee data accurate, automatically.

What is Paylocity?

Paylocity is a cloud-based human capital management platform that helps mid-market organizations manage payroll, HR, benefits, and employee engagement in one connected system.

It brings together payroll processing, time tracking, recruiting, learning, and workforce insights into a single platform, so HR teams can reduce administrative overhead and keep employees informed and supported, whether they work on-site, remotely, or in the field.

The two platforms are highly complementary, and together they provide a connected foundation for employee communications. Paylocity serves as the system of record for your workforce. By connecting Paylocity’s live people data with ContactMonkey’s analytics-forward email platform, IC teams can build accurate audience segments, reach the right employees every time, and measure engagement against real headcount, without duplicating work across systems.

Reach the right employees with live Paylocity data

ContactMonkey connects to Paylocity to keep your employee lists current across a platform built for the full HR and engagement lifecycle. For mid-market organizations running lean, that means one less system to reconcile before every send.

  • People-program aware: Paylocity is built for organizations that need enterprise-grade data without enterprise-grade overhead, and the ContactMonkey integration is designed to match that same standard.
  • Smart segmentation: Build audience groups from any HRIS field, including department, location, manager, job level, or custom attributes.
  • Analytics anchored to headcount: Pair accurate employee counts with ContactMonkey heatmaps and read-time data to see what resonates and with whom.

FAQ

How often does the data sync?

Every night. When you come in the morning, your employee lists already reflect anyone who joined, moved teams, or left the day before.

What happens when someone leaves the company?

They're automatically removed on the next sync. You won't accidentally send to former employees or inactive accounts.

Which employee data comes over from Workday?

The basics (name, email, department, location, job title) come over automatically. You can also bring in additional fields if you want to segment by things like region, management level, or employment type.

Do I need IT involved every time I update my lists?

No, that's the point. IT connects Workday to ContactMonkey once. After that, your lists update on their own. No tickets, no chasing anyone down before a send.

Is our employee data secure?

Yes. ContactMonkey only reads the employee data needed to build and maintain your contact lists. Nothing is stored beyond what's required to power your sends, and the connection to Workday is managed through a secure, authenticated setup that your IT team controls. ContactMonkey is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant.
