UKG Compose User Guide

Note: Compose is only available for Beta testing. See Welcome to UKG Compose > Beta Disclosure for more information.

This guide is the main entry point for builders using UKG Compose through UKG Pro.

Who this guide is for

This guide is primarily written for:

• HRIS power users
• Professional Services builders
• First-time Compose users

This guide is optimized for:

• UKG Pro-only
• UKG Pro Suite

Note: UKG WFM standalone and FAPS-specific documentation will be added when those experiences become available. This applies to all pages in this documentation set.

• Common Use Cases and Design Patterns - Real-world workflow examples and best practices

Advanced Workflow Features

Take your workflow building skills further with these advanced features:

• Variables - Store and reuse configuration values across workflows
• Data Pinning - Test workflows with saved data to avoid repeated external calls

• Security and Governance
• Packaging and Scale Guidance

Product approach

UKG Compose uses the n8n workflow editor as its workflow design experience. In the editor, users assemble workflows from nodes. A workflow usually starts with a trigger, then applies logic, and then performs one or more actions.

Activated workflows can run through:

• Manual execution in the editor
• Scheduled execution
• Secure webhook endpoints
• Supported UKG Pro event subscriptions through the UKG Webhook Service

Compose includes both standard n8n nodes and custom UKG nodes for domain-specific integration.
