Control your notifications from Rippling
Starting this month, some emails will shift to in-app notifications or daily digests to reduce your inbox clutter. We'll auto-select which emails are most relevant, but you’ll always have the ability to customize your notification preferences directly in the Rippling app—choosing what you receive, how often, and where.
We’re upleveling our HCM
Track attendance with expiring points in Scheduling
Easily track attendance with points that expire after a set period. You can create policies to have attendance points automatically expire after a certain number of days or on a specific date, keeping your records aligned with current performance.
Export shifts to third party calendar apps
Now, you can seamlessly export all your shifts to your preferred third-party calendar app—whether it's iCal, Google Calendar, or Outlook—from any schedule you're involved in, whether you’re a member, observer, or manager.
Enjoy seamless sourcing with standardized candidate locations in Recruiting

We’re making paying your people a piece of cake
Revamped expected notices
You now have the ability to access tax notices across a range of filing frequencies–semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, and annual–offering you greater transparency and making it easier than ever to stay on top of your tax obligations.
We’re expanding your global reach

We’re further developing device management

Redefine the corporate travel experience. Integrate seamless travel policies, automated expense reporting, and real-time travel visibility by linking your Lyft account directly with Rippling Spend.
