Connect Rippling to Kula

Last updated: August 17, 2026

Connecting Rippling lets you push a hired candidate into Rippling as a new employee, so your HR team is not retyping details that already exist in Kula. Rippling connects through Rippling's own app store rather than through Kula's shared HRIS connection flow.

Who can do this: Super Admin, Admin 

Where to find it: Settings → Organization → Organization integrations → HRIS and onboarding

Automatic Document Transfer to Rippling

Rippling can receive the candidate's resume and offer document along with the hire push, so nobody has to upload them again on the Rippling side.

  1. Hover over the connected Rippling card and click Edit.

  2. Turn on Send candidate documents to Rippling.

When it is on, pushing a hired candidate attaches their documents to the new Rippling employee profile, where they appear in the employee's Documents tab.

Document

What gets sent

Resume

The resume linked to the hired candidate's application.

Offer document

The signed offer PDF. If there is no signed version, the unsigned offer PDF is sent instead.

Good to know

  • Send candidate documents to Rippling is off by default — for accounts connected before this shipped and for newly connected accounts alike. Nobody gets it automatically; you have to turn it on.

  • Documents are only sent on a hire push. Existing Rippling employees and candidates who have not been hired are unaffected.

  • HRIS field mapping is not available for Rippling. The mapping screen that lets you decide which Kula field fills which HRIS field works for the Kombo-based HRIS integrations, not for Rippling.

  • Disconnecting Rippling is done through Rippling, not inside Kula. Turning the toggle off opens Rippling to complete the disconnection.

FAQ

We keep uploading the resume and offer letter into Rippling by hand after every hire — can Kula send them? Yes. Hover over the Rippling card, click Edit, and turn on Send candidate documents to Rippling. It is off by default, which is why it has not been happening.

Why can't I map Kula fields to Rippling fields the way I can for BambooHR? HRIS field mapping is not supported for Rippling. It is available for the HRIS tools that connect through Kula's shared connection flow, but Rippling uses its own integration path.
