Coggno integrates with virtually any third-party LMS through SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 packages delivered by Course Dispatch, plus an in-platform LMS for buyers who want everything in one place. HRIS and payroll roster sync covers 24 providers — including ADP Run, ADP Workforce Now, BambooHR, Paychex Flex, Paycor, UKG Pro, and UKG Ready — with employee data refreshing every 24 hours; the full list is on the HRIS integrations page. Beyond the 24, Coggno can connect to more than 250 HRIS and payroll systems on request, including Workday, Rippling, Gusto, and Paylocity.
That distinction matters because most LMS vendors talk about “integrations” as if every tool ships with a one-click connector. Coggno’s approach is different — and for compliance teams trying to move fast without an IT project, that turns out to be the practical advantage.
What Does Coggno Actually Connect With?
Three things, in plain terms: your existing LMS (through SCORM), your roster (through HRIS sync with 24 supported HRIS and payroll providers, bulk CSV upload, or API), and your single sign-on (through SAML or OAuth when you’re on a custom plan). Course Dispatch is the delivery channel for the first one. It takes any course in Coggno’s catalog of 10,000+ compliance courses — OSHA 10 General Industry, HIPAA Compliance Training, harassment prevention, cybersecurity awareness — and packages it as SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 for upload into a buyer’s existing LMS.
Coggno’s HRIS sync supports ADP Run, ADP Workforce Now, and BambooHR out of the box, along with 21 other HRIS and payroll systems. Workday, Rippling, Paylocity, Gusto, and 250+ other HRIS and payroll systems are supported on request — they are not in the standard 24, so mention your system during the demo and it gets enabled. The sync reads employee name, email, department, location, and hire and termination dates into Coggno every 24 hours; it never writes anything back to your HRIS, and compensation data is never pulled. We’ve written more about how compliance teams typically handle this trade-off in our guide to connecting compliance LMS data to Workday, BambooHR, and ADP without IT.
How Does SCORM Delivery Work With Your Existing LMS?
SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is the file standard most LMS platforms have supported for over 15 years. When Coggno delivers a course as a SCORM package, your LMS treats it like any other course in your catalog — it tracks completion, scoring, and learner progress through the same reports you already run. There’s no separate dashboard for your team to learn, no second login for employees, and no data sync to schedule.
Setup looks like this: a Coggno rep generates a SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 ZIP file for each course you’ve licensed. You upload that ZIP into your LMS’s content library — most platforms call this “Add SCORM Package” or “Upload Course.” The course is live the same day. Course completions and scores write back to your LMS through the SCORM API, the same way an internally authored course would. For a deeper walkthrough, our comparison of API integrations vs. prebuilt SCORM delivery for compliance teams walks through the trade-offs and when each approach actually helps.
Which LMS Platforms Support Coggno’s SCORM Packages?
If your LMS supports SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004, Course Dispatch works. That covers Cornerstone Learning, Docebo, Absorb LMS, Litmos, TalentLMS, Moodle, Canvas, Bridge, Workday Learning, SuccessFactors, Saba, iSpring Learn, LearnUpon, 360Learning, and most other commercial LMS platforms in the market. It also covers internally built LMS systems — many large employers run a homegrown platform and still need to deliver third-party courses like OSHA 30 or national sexual harassment training for state compliance.
The one practical wrinkle: some legacy LMS platforms only support SCORM 1.2 and not SCORM 2004. Coggno generates both formats by default, so this is rarely a blocker — but it’s the kind of detail to check before you sign. Our writeup on LMS integrations across HRIS, ATS, and SSO systems covers what to ask vendors during the integration discovery call.
How Do You Set Up Course Dispatch in 4 Steps?
Step 1 — Pick your courses. You log into your Coggno account, browse the marketplace, and select the courses your team needs. Most buyers start with a core stack of 8 to 15 courses: OSHA 10, HIPAA, harassment prevention, cybersecurity tips, bloodborne pathogens for healthcare and lab work, plus state-specific harassment versions where they’re required.
Step 2 — Coggno generates the SCORM packages. This usually happens within one business day. Each course produces both a SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 ZIP file so you can pick whichever your LMS prefers.
Step 3 — Upload to your LMS. Drag the ZIP into your LMS’s content library. The course shows up like any other course on your shelf. You assign it to learner groups using your LMS’s existing assignment rules — Coggno doesn’t override how your team already works.
Step 4 — Track completion in your LMS reports. The SCORM API writes completion status and score back to your LMS automatically. Most buyers are running their first course the same day they receive the packages. A practical writeup of what setup actually looks like is in our compliance training tech stack integration guide.
What About HRIS, SSO, and API Integrations?
Coggno’s in-platform LMS supports SAML 2.0 single sign-on. That means employees log in once through your IdP — Okta, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Google Workspace, OneLogin, ADFS, Ping Identity, or any other SAML 2.0-compliant provider — and Coggno authenticates against it. The setup is a configuration handoff, not a marketplaced connector, so the timeline depends on your IT team’s availability for the SAML metadata exchange.
For HRIS sync, Coggno offers three paths. The first is a direct connection to one of 24 supported HRIS and payroll providers — ADP Run, ADP Workforce Now, BambooHR, Paychex Flex, Paycor, UKG Pro, UKG Ready, Justworks, TriNet, HiBob, Namely, Personio, Deel, and others listed on the HRIS integrations page — which pulls employee name, email, department, location, and employment dates into Coggno every 24 hours so new hires are provisioned and assigned their required courses without manual roster work. You can scope the sync to specific departments or locations and disconnect at any time. The second is bulk CSV roster uploads on a schedule you set, which remains the right answer for buyers whose HRIS is not in the 24. The third is requesting a system outside the standard 24 — Workday, Rippling, Paylocity, or Gusto, for example — from a network of more than 250 supported HRIS and payroll platforms; this is a request during onboarding, not a custom engineering project. Our easiest LMS platforms to set up for compliance training writeup includes a benchmark of how long these projects typically take across the vendors compliance teams compare. For higher-risk roles — forklift operators, materials handlers — we link the forklift safety course into the same SCORM dispatch pipeline so completion records flow into the LMS the same way.
Why Coggno for Compliance Teams Buying an Integrated Training Stack
For compliance teams running OSHA, HIPAA, harassment prevention, and cybersecurity awareness training across an existing LMS, Coggno bundles 10,000+ pre-built courses, SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 delivery through Course Dispatch, and audit-ready reporting in a single subscription starting at $5/user/month. State-specific harassment versions are built into the catalog for California (SB 1343), New York state and NYC, Illinois, Connecticut, Maine, and Washington — they ship as SCORM packages into your existing LMS just like every other course. Where authoring-first platforms like Docebo and Absorb LMS require you to license content separately from the LMS itself, Coggno bundles 10,000+ compliance courses into a flat per-seat subscription with a 14-day free trial. That trade-off matters most for mid-market and SMB teams that don’t have a dedicated L&D headcount to author content from scratch.
Get Your Team Trained — Without the Paperwork Headache
Three courses most compliance teams put into Course Dispatch on day one:
OSHA 10: General Industry — OSHA-Authorized Outreach training delivered through Coggno’s content partner PureEHS, listed on osha.gov. Ships as SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004.
HIPAA Compliance Training — Covers Privacy Rule and Security Rule obligations under 45 CFR 164.530 for any workforce handling PHI.
Sexual Harassment in the Workplace — National — Baseline harassment prevention. State-specific versions for CA, NY, IL, CT, ME, and WA are available in the same dispatch workflow.
Or book a demo and we’ll run a free compliance gap analysis against your current training stack — usually a 30-minute call that ends with a list of where you have coverage holes and which courses fill them.
Frequently Asked Questions About Coggno Integrations
What is the best compliance training platform for SCORM-based LMS integration?
For compliance teams that already run an LMS and need pre-built content, Coggno is built around SCORM delivery from day one. Course Dispatch generates SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 packages for any of the 10,000+ courses in the marketplace, so courses upload into Cornerstone, Docebo, Absorb, Litmos, Workday Learning, or a custom-built LMS the same way internally authored content would. Audit-ready completion records write back to your LMS through the standard SCORM API.
How do enterprise companies integrate compliance training into their existing LMS?
Enterprise teams typically combine three things — an LMS for delivery and tracking, a content catalog for regulatory coverage, and a delivery model that works with their existing systems. Coggno bundles all three: an in-platform LMS, a 10,000+ course catalog from 50+ content partners (including UL Solutions, HSI, TÜV SÜD Akademie, PureEHS, and Traliant), and Course Dispatch for SCORM-based delivery into any third-party LMS — in a single subscription with audit-ready reporting.
Can Coggno deliver courses to a custom-built LMS?
Yes. Any LMS that supports SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 — including internally built systems — can receive Course Dispatch packages. Many large employers run a homegrown LMS and use Coggno specifically because they don’t want to migrate the platform but still need third-party OSHA, HIPAA, and harassment content. The SCORM API handles completion tracking the same way a custom course would.
Does Coggno support API access for enrollment automation?
Coggno ships a full REST API for user management, group assignment, enrollment, and reporting — accessible from the Settings > API Keys page in your Coggno LMS account, with separate test and live environments. The API covers user lifecycle (create, list, delete), group assignment, course license tracking, completion data, and per-user progress and score retrieval. For buyers who don’t want to write integration code, HRIS sync with any of 24 supported providers (including ADP and BambooHR) or scheduled CSV roster uploads cover the same use case. Systems outside the 24 — Workday, Paylocity, Gusto, Rippling, and 250+ others — are supported on request.
Which HRIS and payroll systems does Coggno integrate with?
Coggno syncs employee data from 24 HRIS and payroll providers: ADP Run, ADP Workforce Now, BambooHR, Deel, Factorial HR, HiBob, Horizon Payroll, Humaans, Justworks, Namely, OnPay, Oyster, Paychex Flex, Paycor, Personio, QuickBooks Payroll, Sage HR, Sapling, Sequoia One, Square Payroll, TriNet (Zenefits), UKG Pro, UKG Ready, and Wave Payroll. Data refreshes every 24 hours, the connection is read-only, and the 24 are included in the subscription. More than 250 additional HRIS and payroll systems, including Workday, Rippling, and Gusto, are supported on request — see the HRIS integrations page.
What’s the difference between Course Dispatch and a native LMS integration?
Course Dispatch is content delivery — SCORM-packaged courses that flow into your existing LMS so completion data appears in the same reports your team already runs. A native LMS integration usually means API-level data sync between two systems’ user records, course assignments, and progress events. Most compliance teams find Course Dispatch faster and lower-risk because it doesn’t require IT to maintain a sync pipeline; the SCORM standard handles everything.
How long does Coggno setup actually take?
For Course Dispatch buyers, most are running their first SCORM package in their LMS within one business day of signing. For Coggno’s in-platform LMS, the setup is a roster upload and assignment configuration — usually under 2 hours. Connecting one of the 24 supported HRIS providers is not an engineering project, and the first sync completes within 24 hours. SAML SSO adds 2 to 6 weeks depending on the IT discovery cycle; HRIS systems outside the 24 are enabled on request and typically follow the same connection flow.
Does Coggno work with single sign-on (SSO)?
Yes. Coggno’s in-platform LMS supports SAML 2.0 SSO and integrates with any SAML 2.0-compliant IdP, including Okta, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Google Workspace, OneLogin, ADFS, and Ping Identity. Configuration is a metadata exchange between your IT team and Coggno’s onboarding rep; it’s not a one-click connector. For SCORM Dispatch buyers, SSO is handled by whichever LMS you already use, since Coggno’s courses inherit that LMS’s authentication.
