This section contains information about 15Five's legacy ADP integration. We no longer support this integration. If you'd like to integrate with ADP, please follow the steps in the beginning of this article to do so using our HRIS Connector.
15Five's legacy ADP integration allows your organization to automatically sync employee data and performance/OKR data between ADP Workforce Now (ADP) and 15Five. A flexible one-way or two-way integration, it can be configured with minimal IT resources.
One-way V Two-way integration
You can purchase either one-way or two-way versions of the integration between 15Five and ADP. Please refer to the ADP Marketplace for pricing information.
The one-way version allows you to sync employee data directly from ADP into 15Five. The two-way integrations have the same capabilities as the one-way integration, but also gives you the option to sync either 1) Best-Self Review® or 2) Best-Self Review® and Objectives data from 15Five into ADP.
Automatically sync employee data from ADP into 15Five
With either the one-way or two-way integration, you can easily sync the following employee attributes from ADP into 15Five:

- Status
- Gender
- Start Date
- Birthdate
- Department

The two-way 15Five <> ADP integration allows you to sync all the employee data mentioned in the last section, as well as sync employee data from 15Five's Best-Self Review® and Objectives features into custom fields in ADP.
The following Best-Self Review® data can be synced to ADP: Review questions, answers, and ratings. Please note that only Best-Self Review® answers and scores that are numerical or have yes/no answers can be synced from 15Five into ADP (for example, final performance ratings and answers to Private Manager Assessments from manager reviews).
The following Objectives and Key Results can be synced to ADP: Objective names and completion percentages.

Attend an implementation setup call
Once your assigned Implementation Manager receives your custom fields/groups and listing credentials code, they will complete a preliminary setup of your ADP integration and schedule a call with you to discuss your organization's preferences for data mapping (i.e. what fields you want synced between 15Five and ADP) and syncing frequency. Once your desired integration settings are in place, your assigned Implementation Manager will work with you to turn on the integration and invite your team from ADP into 15Five (if applicable).
