Lattice Performance Management API
Lattice's API provides programmatic access to performance review cycles, OKR/goal tracking, employee engagement surveys, 1-on-1 meeting notes, and compensation management data for people-ops automation.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
TLS enforced on all endpoints. API keys are long-lived and should be treated as secrets; rotation requires manual intervention in the admin portal. OAuth scopes provide reasonable product-area granularity but cannot restrict access to specific review cycles or employee subsets.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
Your organization uses Lattice as its performance and engagement platform and you want to automate review cycles, goal syncing, or surface people-analytics data in other tools.
Avoid When
You need a full HRIS or payroll system — Lattice is a performance layer that works alongside an HRIS, not a replacement for one.
Use Cases
- • Trigger performance review cycle creation and send automated review reminders based on employee anniversary dates fetched from an HRIS
- • Read completed review scores and comments to populate a manager dashboard or feed into a compensation calibration workflow
- • Sync OKR progress updates from a project management tool into Lattice goal records to keep performance data current
- • Query engagement survey results and eNPS trends to surface early signals of attrition risk to an HR analytics agent
- • Create and assign 1-on-1 meeting agendas automatically based on upcoming review cycles or goal check-in cadences
Not For
- • Payroll processing or compensation disbursement — Lattice manages compensation planning data but does not execute payments
- • Applicant tracking or recruiting workflows — Lattice focuses on post-hire employee lifecycle, not candidate management
- • Time tracking or scheduling — workforce management functions are outside Lattice's scope
Interface
Authentication
API key authentication is available for server-to-server integrations. OAuth 2.0 is supported for user-delegated access. Scopes map to Lattice product areas (performance, goals, surveys, compensation). Keys are generated per integration in the Lattice admin settings panel.
Pricing
A developer sandbox is available via the Lattice partner program. Direct customers get API access through their existing subscription admin portal.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Review cycle IDs are not stable across environments — sandbox cycle IDs cannot be used to test production flows without re-fetching current cycle state
- ⚠ The GraphQL schema evolves frequently with new performance and compensation features; agents must handle unknown fields gracefully or pin to a schema version
- ⚠ Employee records in Lattice use Lattice-internal IDs that must be mapped from your HRIS employee IDs — no direct lookup by email or external ID in all endpoints
- ⚠ Engagement survey responses are anonymized at the API layer when group sizes are below a configurable threshold; agents querying survey data may receive null or aggregated responses unexpectedly
- ⚠ Webhook delivery is not guaranteed to be in-order for performance review state transitions; agents must fetch current state after receiving any event rather than inferring state from event sequence
