Namely + Nectar Integration

Sync employee data from Namely into Nectar automatically to power seamless recognition, rewards, and engagement programs.

Keep your employee information accurate across HR and culture platforms — without manual uploads or admin overhead.

Overview

The Namely + Nectar integration connects your HRIS directly to Nectar, ensuring your employee data stays accurate and up to date across your recognition and rewards programs.

This integration is designed for:

• HR and People Ops teams using Namely as their system of record
• Mid-sized organizations managing evolving org structures
• Companies scaling recognition alongside workforce growth

By integrating Namely with Nectar, teams can automatically onboard new hires, reflect department and manager changes, and maintain accurate reporting — all without manual data imports.

How It Works

Nectar integrates with Namely to sync key employee information directly into the platform.

What data syncs

Common employee fields include:

• First and last name
• Work email
• Job title
• Department
• Manager relationships
• Location
• Employment status (active/inactive)

Sync behavior

• New hires added in Namely can be automatically provisioned in Nectar
• Updates to roles, departments, or managers stay aligned
• Employees who leave the organization can be deactivated to maintain clean access and

reporting

Authentication method

The integration connects securely through API-based authentication using authorized admin credentials.

Where users interact

Admins configure and manage the integration within Nectar settings. Employees use Nectar normally — recognizing peers, redeeming rewards, and participating in engagement initiatives — powered by synced HR data in the background.
