FAQ
Which HRIS platforms does Acorn support, and does it replace ours?
No, Acorn syncs with your HRIS as the system of truth, supporting UKG, Workday, ADP, BambooHR, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM and Paylocity. User status, hierarchies, department structures and job titles flow in, so new hires, promotions, role changes and terminations update accounts, cohorts and learning assignments automatically.
What does Acorn integrate with?
Acorn integrates with HRIS platforms, identity providers, content marketplaces, live learning tools, CRM and ATS systems, business intelligence platforms and payment gateways. Native integrations are managed in Acorn’s Integrations Hub, and Acorn’s REST API connects to any system that exposes endpoints.
What if the system we use isn’t listed?
Acorn’s API-first architecture connects to any system with available endpoints, including CRM, ATS, project management and business intelligence platforms. For content specifically, the Universal Adapter brings in providers Acorn doesn’t natively integrate with. Custom integration services are available where scoping is needed.
What content libraries can we connect?
Acorn maintains native integrations with Go1, LinkedIn Learning, OpenSesame, Percipio, Mind Tools and getAbstract, managed through the Integrations Hub. Acorn is a licensed reseller for several of these providers and can consolidate content into a single agreement. Learner identity is protected by data obfuscation during the SSO handshake, so only first name, initial and a unique Acorn ID pass to the external platform.
Do we need developers to set up an Acorn integration?
Not necessarily. Acorn offers custom integration services covering setup, field mapping and testing, so in-house technical expertise isn’t required. Teams who prefer to build their own can use the REST API, which uses HTTPS, JSON and token-based authentication.
How often does data sync between Acorn and our HRIS?
Automated HR feeds transfer over SFTP and can be configured to update daily. ADP integrations, for example, pull data every 24 hours. Acorn’s REST API also supports real-time or scheduled synchronization, and webhooks push notifications when events like user creation or course completion occur.
Does Acorn support single sign-on?
Yes. Acorn supports single sign-on through your existing identity provider, and users can log in by SSO or password depending on how your IT team configures access policies. SSO also covers content partners, so learners reach third-party courses without a separate login.
Can we access our own data through the API?
Yes. Acorn’s REST API supports bi-directional exchange with stable identifiers across users, courses, enrolments and completions. You can extract completion data, training assignments and compliance records into your own repository, with support for CSV, SFTP and analytics formats.
