Connecting your Assembly to Rippling allows you to easily manage the members of your Assembly. You can add employees automatically to your Assembly from your Rippling, and customize your connection settings in Assembly.

See our demo video below for more guidance with your Rippling connection:

Who can use this feature?

• Only Assembly admins can connect your Assembly to an HRIS. This Assembly admin must also be an admin within Rippling to enable the proper permissions.

What to expect

• Once you’ve connected to an Rippling, you (or any other Admins within your Assembly) can edit your connection settings or disconnect at any time.

• Once connected, anyone within the selected settings will automatically be added or removed from your Assembly when they join/leave the selected settings.

• When connected, we will import the following user details:

  • Avatar

  • First name, last name

  • Email

  • Employee ID

  • Birthday, start date

  • Job title, department, office location, home location

  • Manager/direct reports

• These user details are used to populate your employees' profiles in Assembly.

  • This profile information is required to allow you identify and distinguish your employees from one another, as well as automating, sharing, and performing key actions within Assembly.

         Configure invites and create accounts

         1. Configure whether you want to send invitations to your Assembly now or send them later.

            1. If you selected send invitations now, when you click 'Create accounts', all members of the selected department(s) will receive an invitation to join your Assembly.

            2. If you selected send invitations later, upon clicking 'Create accounts', all invitations will be queued, and an admin will manually need to send them once ready.

               1. Clicking View Queued Invites will direct you to your Queued section of the Users/Manage page where you can send the invitations.

         2. Configure whether new members are automatically approved or if an admin needs to manually approve them first.

            1. If you select 'manually approve', then all new users who get added to the HRIS will not be automatically activated in your Assembly.

            2. They will appear in the 'Queued' section and you will need to manually send the invitations.

         3. Click Create Assembly Accounts.

         NOTE: Employees will not receive invitations/get queued until their start date, or whichever timeframe you selected in the 'Connect' step above. So, even if you add them into Rippling before their start date, they will not synch with Assembly until the selected date.
