Overview
Rippling Integration
Learn how to integrate Rippling with Sprinto to automate device compliance checks and sync staff details for workforce management.
The Rippling integration allows Sprinto to synchronise employee, device, and access data to automate compliance monitoring.
Rippling acts as a unified platform for:
- Human Resource Management (HRMS)
- Mobile Device Management (MDM)
- Identity and Access Management (IAM)
By connecting Rippling to Sprinto, you can:
- Maintain an up-to-date employee directory
- Track device inventory and compliance posture
- Monitor user access and enforce offboarding controls
How it works
Sprinto integrates with Rippling using an OAuth 2.0 authorisation code flow via app installation.
- You initiate the integration from Sprinto.
- You are redirected to the Rippling App Shop.
- You install the Sprinto app and grant permissions.
- Rippling authenticates and redirects back to Sprinto.
- Sprinto exchanges the authorisation code for access tokens.
- Employee and device data are synced periodically.
Device inventory data is generated asynchronously:
- Sprinto requests a report
- Rippling generates it in the background
- Sprinto polls for completion (up to 5 retries at 10-second intervals)
