FAQs
What is Rippling Data Cloud?
Rippling Data Cloud is a unified data platform built into Rippling that connects your HR and business data in one place. Because it lives in the system where your work happens, teams don’t just get answers, they can act on them without switching tools.
How does Data Cloud unify business data and people data?
Data Cloud automatically matches business data to your company’s Employee Graph in Rippling, which already understands your company’s employees, org structure, and payroll. Your business data is connected to your people data, with no manual joins or pipeline maintenance required.
What can teams do with Data Cloud?
Teams can build dashboards, trigger automated workflows, and create custom applications on the same connected data. Teams can answer cross-functional questions and automate followups across systems, all without leaving Rippling.
How does Data Cloud help with analytics, automation, and AI?
Analytics run directly on live operational data with org-aware permissions and drillthrough to source records. Workflows can be triggered by any data change across connected systems. And Rippling AI generates verifiable SQL against real data, so every answer is traceable to the exact query and records behind it.
Can Data Cloud connect to our existing data warehouse?
Yes, Data Cloud supports a zero-copy connection to Snowflake, with additional platform support planned. If you already have a data stack, your data stays exactly where it is. Rippling queries it in place and surfaces it alongside your workforce data in reports, dashboards, and AI queries.
How does Data Cloud keep data secure and access controlled?
You get the same configurability of data permissions you have on any of your sensitive data in Rippling. You can configure who sees which records and configure your permission based on org hierarchy. So every employee, manager, and HRBP sees the right scope of data. After that initial set up, permissions update automatically as roles and reporting lines change, with no manual maintenance required.
How is Data Cloud different from a traditional data platform?
Unlike traditional platforms, Data Cloud comes with workforce context so it can correctly answer the nuanced 'who' questions that other BI tools either get wrong or force you to simplify. And because Data Cloud is built into the same system that runs HR, payroll, IT, and Finance, Rippling lets you act on your data. An insight in a dashboard is one click away from triggering a workflow in Rippling.
Do I need to migrate my data to use Data Cloud?
If you already have your data in a warehouse, you can use a zero copy connector. For data in other third party tools,like your CRM, POS, or ticketing system, you can add connectors that handle data ingestion into Rippling automatically.
