Accessible Integrations for Effortless App Sync

Enhance Efficiency with Seamless Business Integrations.

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

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

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

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

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

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 payroll tools does Shifton connect to?

Shifton syncs verified timesheets directly with QuickBooks, Xero, and other payroll providers. Approved hours are exported without manual re-entry, eliminating data discrepancies between scheduling and payroll.

Do I need a developer to set up Zapier automations?

No. Zapier workflows in Shifton are configured by business users without writing any code. You pick triggers — such as a shift being published or a time-off request approved — and choose the action in any connected app.

How quickly does attendance data reach connected platforms?

Clock-in and clock-out events push to integrated systems in real time as they happen. There are no nightly batch exports — payroll and HR tools always reflect the latest data.

Can we connect Shifton to a proprietary internal system?

Yes. The REST API gives engineering teams full programmatic access to schedules, employee records, and attendance data. Webhook subscriptions deliver event callbacks the moment something changes in Shifton.

What calendar apps can employees sync their shifts to?

Shifton supports Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar. Once connected, any published or updated shift appears on the employee calendar automatically alongside their personal events.
