Automate & integrate 15Five
Automating 15Five business process or integrating 15Five data is made easy with tray.ai
Use case
HRIS to 15Five User Provisioning
When a new employee is added to Workday, BambooHR, or HiBob, automatically create their 15Five user profile, assign them to the correct team, and enroll them in onboarding check-in templates. When employees are offboarded, their 15Five accounts are deactivated in the same workflow run.
Use case
Low Engagement Score Escalation
Monitor 15Five pulse scores and happiness ratings on a recurring basis. When an employee's score drops below a defined threshold, automatically notify their manager via Slack or email, log the alert in your HR case management system, and schedule a suggested 1-on-1 in the manager's calendar.
Use case
OKR Progress Sync to BI Dashboards
Pull OKR and goal completion data from 15Five on a scheduled basis and push it into Snowflake, BigQuery, or a Google Sheet for executive reporting. Transform and normalize the data so it sits alongside financial and operational KPIs in Tableau, Looker, or Power BI dashboards.
Use case
Performance Review Cycle Automation
Trigger 15Five review cycles based on calendar events or HRIS tenure milestones like 90-day or annual reviews. Automatically assign reviewers, send reminder notifications via Slack or email as deadlines approach, and escalate incomplete reviews to HR ops when the window closes.
Use case
New Hire Onboarding Check-In Enrollment
When a new hire completes their first day or first week milestone in your onboarding platform or HRIS, automatically enroll them in a structured 15Five onboarding check-in sequence. Route their early responses to their HR business partner for monitoring and flag any immediate concerns.
Use case
1-on-1 Agenda and Meeting Automation
Sync 15Five 1-on-1 talking points and action items to calendar events in Google Calendar or Outlook, and post agenda summaries to Slack channels before the meeting. After the meeting, automatically create follow-up tasks in Asana or Jira based on action items logged in 15Five.
Use case
Recognition and High Five Alerts
When an employee receives a High Five recognition in 15Five, automatically post a celebration message to a dedicated Slack or Microsoft Teams channel. Optionally log the recognition in your HRIS or a rewards platform to feed into compensation workflows.

15Five Challenges
What challenges are there when working with 15Five and how will using Tray.ai help?
Challenge
Keeping 15Five User Rosters in Sync with Your HRIS
HR teams often manage employee records in an HRIS like Workday or BambooHR and then manually replicate changes into 15Five. New hires get missed, departing employees retain access, and manager assignments drift out of date.
How Tray.ai Can Help:
tray.ai connects directly to both your HRIS and the 15Five API, so you can build real-time or scheduled sync workflows that create, update, and deactivate 15Five users automatically based on your HRIS data. No manual reconciliation required.
Challenge
Getting Performance Data into BI and Analytics Tools
15Five's built-in reporting works well inside the platform, but people analytics teams usually need OKR progress, engagement scores, and review results sitting alongside operational data in Snowflake, BigQuery, or Tableau. Manually exporting CSVs every week is error-prone and doesn't scale.
How Tray.ai Can Help:
tray.ai can schedule recurring API calls to 15Five, transform the nested JSON responses into structured tabular data, and load them directly into your data warehouse. You get a reliable, automated pipeline that refreshes performance data without any manual exports.
Challenge
Acting on Low Engagement Signals in Real Time
15Five captures meaningful signals about employee wellbeing through pulse scores and check-in responses, but those signals often sit unread until a manager remembers to log in. By then, the window to intervene has usually passed.
How Tray.ai Can Help:
tray.ai workflows can poll 15Five responses on a schedule or react to webhook events, evaluate scores against configurable thresholds, and immediately push alerts to managers in Slack or trigger calendar events. Passive data becomes something people actually act on.
Challenge
Coordinating Cross-Tool Review and 1-on-1 Workflows
Running performance reviews and 1-on-1s effectively requires coordination across 15Five, calendar tools, Slack, and project management platforms. Teams end up manually copying action items, sending reminders by hand, and tracking completion in spreadsheets.
How Tray.ai Can Help:
tray.ai connects 15Five with Google Calendar, Slack, Asana, and Jira. A single workflow can send reminders, create calendar events, and convert 15Five action items into tracked tasks automatically, taking the manual coordination burden off HR and managers.
Challenge
Scaling Recognition Programs Across the Organization
High Five recognitions in 15Five often go unnoticed by the broader team because employees have to actively log into the platform to see them. That limits the cultural impact and makes people less likely to participate over time.
How Tray.ai Can Help:
tray.ai listens for new High Five events through the 15Five API and instantly broadcasts them to Slack or Microsoft Teams, so recognition reaches the whole company without anyone having to change how they already communicate.
