What the Rippling +

Simpplr

 Integration Does

  • Automated employee provisioning: New hire events in Rippling create Simpplr user accounts with the correct profile data, org chart placement, and content targeting assignment — ensuring new employees appear in the people directory and intranet on their start date without manual intranet admin setup.
  • Continuous org chart and directory sync: Rippling department, job title, location, and manager data continuously syncs to Simpplr's people directory and org chart, keeping the intranet's organizational view accurate as the team changes and reporting relationships evolve.
  • Attribute-based content targeting: Rippling employee attributes drive Simpplr's content personalization and targeting, ensuring employees see department-relevant news, location-specific resources, and role-appropriate policy content without manual audience list management.
  • Offboarding deprovisioning: Employee termination in Rippling deactivates the Simpplr account, removes the departed employee from the people directory and org chart, and stops content delivery to that individual — keeping the intranet's people data aligned with the actual active workforce.

What Mid-Market Teams Get Wrong

  • Not syncing Rippling's org chart data to Simpplr's people directory: Simpplr's org chart and people directory are most valuable when they reflect the actual reporting hierarchy in real time. Teams that let Simpplr's org chart drift from Rippling's manager data create an intranet where employees can't find current reporting relationships — undermining the directory's core utility.
  • Not removing departed employees from Simpplr at offboarding: Former employees who remain in Simpplr's active directory and content targeting groups retain access to internal content and appear in people search results — creating both a confidentiality concern and a confusing experience for employees searching for current colleagues.
  • Not using Rippling attributes to drive Simpplr's content targeting: Simpplr's value is personalized content delivery — employees seeing news, updates, and resources relevant to their department, location, and role. Without Rippling data driving this targeting, every employee sees everything, reducing the relevance of intranet content and driving down engagement.
  • Treating Simpplr's employee profile data as separate from Rippling: Employee profiles in Simpplr — including job title, department, location, and manager — should be sourced from Rippling as the system of record, not maintained separately in Simpplr's admin. Duplicate profile management creates divergence between the intranet view of the employee and the actual HR data in Rippling.

How thePeopleStack Configures This

thePeopleStack configures the Rippling–Simpplr integration with employee data sync that keeps the intranet's people directory, org chart, and content targeting current without manual Simpplr administration. We set up the hire trigger to provision new employees in Simpplr with the correct department, role, and manager data on their start date, and configure offboarding to deactivate Simpplr accounts and remove departed employees from the people directory at termination.

For clients using Simpplr's AI-powered content personalization and intranet analytics features, we advise on aligning Simpplr's data model with Rippling's field structure — ensuring the employee attributes that drive content targeting, site personalization, and people search are populated accurately from Rippling's authoritative employee record.

USA & Canadian Operations Note

Simpplr is deployed by thePeopleStack's Rippling clients primarily for US employee intranet and internal communications, with site structure, content targeting, and employee directory features configured around US org hierarchies and Rippling's US employee data.

Canadian and cross-border operations: Canadian employees are provisioned into Simpplr through the same Rippling sync, with thePeopleStack confirming PIPEDA-relevant data handling for employee profile data and internal communications records synced from Rippling into Simpplr's people directory and org chart features.

FAQs

What is Simpplr and how does the Rippling integration keep it current?

Simpplr is an AI-powered employee experience platform combining intranet, internal communications, and people directory features. The Rippling integration keeps Simpplr's employee directory, org chart, and content targeting current — syncing new hires at onboarding, updating profiles on role changes, and removing departed employees at offboarding without manual intranet administration.

Does Rippling keep Simpplr's employee directory and org chart current?

Yes. Rippling department, job title, location, and manager data sync to Simpplr's people directory and org chart — keeping the intranet's organizational view accurate as the team changes. Role changes and reporting relationship updates in Rippling automatically propagate to Simpplr's org chart without manual intranet admin updates.

Can Simpplr content be targeted by Rippling employee attributes?

Yes. Rippling department, work location, and job level data drives Simpplr's content targeting and site personalization — ensuring employees see the news, policy updates, and resource content relevant to their department and location rather than every piece of company content regardless of relevance.

How is offboarding handled for Simpplr users in Rippling?

Employee termination in Rippling deactivates the Simpplr user account and removes the departed employee from the people directory, org chart, and active content targeting groups. This prevents former employees from accessing internal content and ensures the people directory reflects only the current active workforce.

How long does the Rippling–Simpplr integration take to configure?

A standard configuration covering SSO, employee data sync, org chart provisioning, and offboarding deprovisioning typically takes 3–5 hours. Complex Simpplr deployments with custom site structures, many department-specific content spaces, or advanced AI personalization features may require additional configuration time.
