Enhance Efficiency with Seamless Business Integrations.

Accessible Integrations for Effortless App Sync
Connect Shifton to Your Existing Business Tools

Connect Shifton to Your Existing Business Tools

Every business already uses payroll software, communication platforms, and HR systems. A scheduling tool that operates in isolation forces managers to manually export data, re-enter hours, and duplicate work across disconnected systems - wasting time and introducing errors.

One-Click Payroll Sync - export verified timesheets directly to QuickBooks, Xero, or your payroll provider without manual data entry
Calendar Integration - sync published schedules with Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar so employees see shifts alongside personal events
Communication Platform Links - connect schedule notifications to Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email for seamless team communication
HR System Onboarding Sync - new employee records created in BambooHR or Workday are automatically imported with role and department data
Automate Workflows with Zapier

Automate Workflows with Zapier

Zapier is an online automation tool that connects Shifton to thousands of apps. Automate shift-related tasks across your entire software stack - no code needed.

Connect Shifton to 5,000+ apps - trigger automations across your entire software ecosystem from a single scheduling platform
Trigger actions on shift start, end, or attendance events - automate downstream processes the moment workforce events occur
Automate notifications, data sync, and updates - eliminate manual steps between Shifton and your other business tools
Build custom workflows without developer help - business users set up and manage automations independently
Keep Support Teams in Sync with Intercom

Keep Support Teams in Sync with Intercom

Shifton’s Intercom integration connects attendance tracking with your customer service platform. Agent statuses update automatically based on real shift events.

Auto-update agent status on shift start and end - Intercom reflects real availability the moment a shift begins or finishes
Sync break statuses in real time - break events in Shifton immediately update agent availability in Intercom
Reduce manual status changes for support teams - agents focus on customers while Shifton handles status management
Always reflect accurate agent availability in Intercom - eliminate discrepancies between actual schedules and displayed status
Two-Way Sync with QuickBooks

Two-Way Sync with QuickBooks

QuickBooks integration enables two-way synchronization of client data between Shifton and your accounting platform. Keep payroll and scheduling data consistent automatically.

Sync clients bidirectionally between Shifton and QuickBooks - changes in either system propagate automatically to the other
Export shift data directly to payroll - verified timesheets flow into QuickBooks without manual data entry
Eliminate duplicate data entry - a single update in one platform keeps both systems current
Manage invoicing and scheduling from a single source - unified data means consistent records across operations and finance
Automate Agent Statuses in Usedesk

Automate Agent Statuses in Usedesk

Usedesk integration connects Shifton’s Attendance module with your helpdesk. Agent statuses change automatically when shifts and breaks start or end.

Triggered on shift start, end, break start and end - every attendance event automatically updates the corresponding Usedesk agent status
Set separate statuses for chat and ticket groups - configure distinct availability states for different support channels
Exclude specific groups from synchronization - keep selected teams or agents outside the automated status flow
Supports all 20+ communication channels in Usedesk - works across email, chat, social, and every other channel in your helpdesk
Enterprise-Grade API for Custom Integrations

Enterprise-Grade API for Custom Integrations

Larger organizations with proprietary ERP systems, custom HR platforms, or industry-specific software need deeper integration capabilities than pre-built connectors provide. A well-documented REST API enables engineering teams to build exactly the data flows their business requires.

RESTful API Access - programmatically read and write schedules, employee data, and attendance records through secure API endpoints
Webhook Event Subscriptions - receive real-time callbacks when specific events occur in Shifton, enabling event-driven architecture
Comprehensive API Documentation - detailed endpoint references, authentication guides, and code examples accelerate integration development
Rate-Limit Aware Throttling - API calls are automatically paced to respect third-party rate limits, preventing sync failures during bulk operations

Frequently Asked Questions

Which integrations are available?

Shifton connects to Zapier, Intercom, Usedesk and QuickBooks Online from the Integrations page. For anything else there is an open API and webhooks.

Do integrations cost extra?

Integrations are part of your Shifton plan. The third-party services themselves may charge for their own plans.

Who can connect an integration?

Only the account owner can connect or configure integrations. Managers can open the page but cannot change anything.

Do I need a developer for Zapier?

No. Zapier builds workflows from triggers and actions picked in menus, so shift events in Shifton can start actions in thousands of other apps without code.

What does the QuickBooks integration sync?

It syncs payroll and employee data with QuickBooks Online, and clients sync in both directions. You need a QuickBooks Online account with administrator access.

How do the Usedesk and Intercom integrations work?

Both work with the Attendance module: when a shift or a break starts or ends in Shifton, the agent's status in the helpdesk changes to match. The Usedesk sync goes one way and does not change schedules in Shifton.

Can we connect our own system?

Yes. The API gives programmatic access to schedules, employees and attendance, and webhooks send a JSON POST to your URL when events happen, such as a shift being created or an employee clocking in.

What happens to data if I disconnect an integration?

Syncing stops from that moment. Data that was already transferred stays in both systems.
