Automate Employee Performance & Engagement Workflows with 15Five
Connect 15Five to your HR stack and business tools to sync performance reviews, OKR tracking, and employee feedback automatically.
What can you do with the 15Five connector?
15Five is a continuous performance management platform used by HR and people ops teams to run weekly check-ins, OKR cycles, 1-on-1s, and engagement surveys. Integrating 15Five with your broader HR tech stack eliminates manual data entry, gets performance data into your HRIS and analytics tools automatically, and lets you trigger workflows based on employee responses. Need to sync headcount data from your HRIS, escalate low engagement scores to managers, or pull OKR progress into executive dashboards? tray.ai handles all of it without custom code.
Automate & integrate 15Five
Automating 15Five business processes 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.
- Eliminate manual user setup and cut IT and HR administrative overhead
- New hires start receiving check-ins from day one without delays
- No orphaned accounts when employees leave
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.
- Catch early signs of burnout or disengagement before they get worse
- Give managers timely, actionable context without manual report reviews
- Keep an auditable log of engagement interventions in your HRIS or ticketing system
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.
- Give leadership a unified view of people performance alongside business metrics
- No more manual CSV exports and reformatting every quarter
- Executives can track OKR progress without logging into 15Five
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.
- Cut HR coordination overhead for every performance review cycle
- Better review completion rates with automated, timely reminders
- Consistent review cycle initiation across the whole organization
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.
- Consistent onboarding experience without manual HR intervention
- Spot onboarding friction points quickly through automated response monitoring
- Free HR teams from repetitive setup tasks for every new hire cohort
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.
- Managers and direct reports arrive at 1-on-1s with shared context already in front of them
- 15Five action items become trackable tasks without manual copying
- Meeting outcomes connect directly to project management tools

Challenges Tray.ai solves
Common obstacles when integrating 15Five — and how Tray.ai handles them.
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 helps
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 helps
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 helps
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.
