What you can do
Four things you can do once Rippling is connected
Rippling handles HR data. Xoxoday adds rewards without adding a second admin platform, using the employee data already in Rippling.
No second employee list to maintain
- Adds, updates, and exits flow through automatically
- Add an employee in Rippling and they show up in Xoxoday on the next sync. Title changes, location moves, and exits flow through the same way. No manual upkeep, no leavers still showing as active.
- The org chart comes with it
- Department, manager, location, and title come along with every profile. Recognition, celebrations, and surveys stay pointed at the right people.
Celebrations and welcome moments, on their own
- Birthdays and anniversaries, on the day
- Birth dates and joining dates come in with each profile. Xoxoday sends the message and gift on the day, on its own. Anniversary rewards can grow with each year served.
- Welcome moments for new hires
- A new Rippling profile triggers a Xoxoday welcome flow: a Day 1 message, a starter reward, or a peer-recognition prompt to a buddy.
Recognize people the right way
- Recognition with the right approvers
- Manager and reporting line come from Rippling. Xoxoday can require manager approval on high-value awards, route reward budget by team, or show recognition trends by department.
- Surveys and rewards by team, region, or role
- Xoxoday reads department, location, and title from Rippling. Run a recognition program for one team, a survey for a region, or a milestone reward just for managers.
Run rewards and surveys in one place
- One catalog across recognition and rewards
- Peer-to-peer recognition, manager awards, milestone gifts, perks, and a company feed. All of it runs on the same Rippling-fed list.
- Surveys with built-in segmentation
- Pulse and engagement surveys segment by the department, location, and tenure fields that come straight from Rippling. No manual list building.
Use cases
Who runs it, and what for
Three patterns we see across Rippling customers running Xoxoday.
Birthdays and anniversaries, sent automatically
Birthdays and work anniversaries get sent from the Rippling dates. Reward amounts can grow with each year served (5-year, 10-year, 15-year), and manager approval can be routed automatically.
Peer recognition with a fresh employee list
Managers and peers can recognize anyone in the org without picking from a stale list. New hires show up the day after they join. Leavers disappear on their exit date.
How it works
From Rippling record to delivered reward
Step 1
Employee records sync from Rippling
New hires, role changes, and exits flow from Rippling to Empuls automatically. No duplicate data entry across HR and engagement systems.
Step 2
Celebrations trigger on the right day
Birthdays and work anniversaries are read from Rippling. Empuls sends the celebration on the day without HR maintaining a separate list.
Step 3
Recognition follows the live org chart
Peer nominations and award approvals route through the hierarchy in Rippling. Changes to reporting lines take effect on the next sync.
Step 4
Rewards reach the right inbox
Reward links go to the email stored in Rippling. Leavers are deactivated before any pending reward is delivered.
