How to Create ADP Integrations with Google Workspace

Keeping employee profiles consistent between HR systems like ADP and directory services like Google Workspace is a tedious and repetitive process for HR departments. Many HR leaders are searching for effective ADP integrations that can automate these tasks. With technology being a top priority for CEOs, adding automation tools to streamline high-volume tasks is more important than ever.
However, according to data from SAHM 56% of HR leaders recently reported that their current technology does not meet their department’s needs. This blog will explain how adding ADP integrations can drive retention, enhance security, and impact your bottom line. Then, we will show you how to create an effective ADP to Google Workspace integration for your organization.

Why Should You Add ADP Integrations?

HR departments need to work with separate systems like ADP and Google Workspace, and a lack of communication between these systems creates repetitive tasks that suck up resources. HR leadership is responding to these challenges by embracing automation, as HR automation tools like ADP integrations have risen by 599% from 2022 to 2024 according to data from SAHM.
Effective automation makes operations more efficient and accurate while reducing the workload placed on both the HR and IT departments. This leads to improved working experience and increased employee satisfaction. When HR employees aren’t buried behind high-volume tasks, they can focus on fostering a company culture that drives employee engagement, development, and retention.

How to Create ADP Integrations

When creating ADP integrations, there are multiple factors to consider:
How much will it cost to build the integration?
How much coding and development time is needed to build the integration?
Can the integration securely transfer data between systems?
How much regular maintenance will the integration need?
How scalable is the integration?
There are two main methods for creating ADP to Google Workspace integrations:

API-Based Integrations

The simplest way to connect ADP to Google Workspace is with APIs, which seamlessly synchronize data between the systems. However, these integrations are often custom-built, which makes them customizable but requires an intensive, code-heavy development process. In addition, ADP charges a fee for access to its API, making this the most expensive option.

Point-to-Point (P2P) Integrations

Point-to-point ADP integrations are the more cost-effective option because they don’t need APIs. Despite this, these integrations still use custom connectors that need to be built and scripted in development. The complex nature of these connections leads to constant maintenance and does not effectively scale to handle large numbers of employees.
The high cost of building custom ADP integrations leads many companies to the SaaS marketplace in search of iPaaS solutions. Many options require complex coding that needs constant maintenance and prevents scalability. However, one product can create a seamless integration between ADP and Google Workspace without any of these drawbacks.

The Benefits of Hire2Retire ADP Integrations

Hire2Retire is a complete, no-code, prepacked integration product (PIP) that automates employee lifecycle management and user access provisioning. Hire2Retire uses cost-effective file extracts or APIs to automatically synchronize data between ADP and Google Directory in near-real time. Here are a few reasons organizations use Hire2Retire:

Onboarding Automation that Drives Employee Retention

Companies with strong onboarding practices are more likely to retain new hires. Hire2Retire automates key onboarding tasks by creating profiles in Google Workspace, provisioning system access and group memberships, and creating ITSM tickets for resource allocation. By letting Hire2Retire automatically onboard new employees, you’re giving new hires everything they need to thrive from their first day at work onward.

Timely Terminations that Prevent Data Breaches

36% of organizations have experienced a data breach costing more than $1M, and that number continues to rise. Disgruntled employees retaining key system access after termination is a common cause of breaches. Hire2Retire eliminates this possibility by automatically revoking access and disabling Google Workspace accounts when terminations are processed.

Automated User Access Provisioning Improves Collaboration

Hire2Retire’s industry-leading access control automates the access provisioning lifecycle process. Easily create rules for assigning group memberships based on role and other attributes, then let Hire2Retire provision access on a “need-to-know” basis. Plus, Hire2Retire’s library of hundreds of third-party applications makes it a one-stop access provisioning solution.

Task Automation Saves HR Resources to Invest in Talent

A recent survey of executives by the Harvard Business Review reported that strengthening organizational culture is the top priority for HR leadership to focus on. Hire2Retire automation can save your HR employees from hours of repetitive work a day, allowing them to focus on what matters – creating a superior employee experience and company culture.
