UKG Compose User Guide

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

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.
