What Stacksync syncs in Namely.

These objects sync between Namely and any connected system, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution. Custom fields are picked up from the live schema where Namely exposes them.

Profiles
The core employee record (personal, job, contact, and compensation fields); synced two-way via GET/POST/PUT with updated_at driving incremental polling.
Job Titles
Job title definitions; read and written so titles stay aligned with an HRIS, directory, or reporting dimension.
Job Tiers
Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables.
Groups
Departments and locations that organize Profiles; synced to keep org structure aligned with a warehouse or IdP.
Teams
Teams and team categories a Profile belongs to; read and written for org-chart and provisioning workflows.
Reports
Saved Namely reports returned as JSON snapshots that update instantly; read-only feeds for headcount and roster analytics.
Profile Fields
Metadata describing standard and company-defined custom field sections; read to discover schema and generate mappings.
Events
Home-feed items such as announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, and new arrivals; typically read-only into comms tools.
API surface

How Stacksync connects to Namely.

The connector runs on Namely's native API. Stacksync manages authentication, rate limits, retries, and schema changes so your team does not maintain integration code.

Connection
REST API (JSON over HTTPS)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 authorization-code grant, or a personal access token sent as a Bearer token; all calls run over HTTPS against https://{subdomain}.namely.com/api/v1
Change detection
No webhooks; integrations poll GET endpoints and compare the updated_at / created_at timestamps on Profiles and related objects to detect changes
Rate limits
Namely's public docs do not publish a fixed request quota; the REST API returns standard HTTP status codes, so integrations should throttle and back off on 429/5xx responses.

What ships with Namely

Connect Namely for flexible, real-time data sync.

Real-time sync, workflow automation, event queues, EDI, and monitoring, for every connection.

Real-time

Two-way sync

Changes in Namely instantly reflect across connected systems. No stale data, no manual imports.

No-code + pro-code

Workflow automation

Trigger automated workflows whenever Namely data changes, update records, fire webhooks, or kick off sequences without brittle API scripts.

At scale

Event queues

Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single Namely record.

Observability

Monitoring

Track your Namely sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.

Trading partners

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions.

Use cases

What teams run on the Namely connector.

Namely is the HRIS system of record for mid-sized companies, owned by HR and People Operations with IT alongside for identity. Employee master data lives here: Profiles with personal, job, compensation, and custom fields, plus Job Titles, Job Tiers, Groups, and Teams that define the org structure. Because onboarding, payroll, and benefits all reference the Namely Profile, downstream systems (directories, finance, BI, provisioning) need to read from and write back to it as roles, departments, and status change.

  • HRIS admins
  • People Operations
  • People analytics / HR data
  • IT / identity administrators
  • Payroll administrators

  1. Sync Namely Profiles two-way with Postgres or Snowflake so people-analytics teams query headcount, tenure, and compensation in SQL while HR keeps editing in Namely.

  2. Provision or deprovision accounts in an IdP or directory when a Profile's user_status or start_date changes, and write the resulting user ID and email back onto the Profile.

  3. Map Job Titles and Job Tiers into a warehouse dimension table so leveling and seniority stay consistent across HR, finance, and BI reporting.

  4. Push Groups and Teams (departments, locations, team categories) into downstream apps to keep org structure and reporting lines aligned.

  5. Feed Namely Reports as JSON into a database on a schedule for roster, turnover, and diversity dashboards without manual CSV exports.

  6. Two-way sync of Namely Profiles with an operational Postgres database so internal apps and people-analytics teams work in SQL while HR keeps editing employees in Namely; updated_at drives incremental polling in both directions.

How it works

Set up Namely in minutes, without APIs.

Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.

  1. 01

    Connect your apps

    Authenticate Namely with its native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.

FAQ

Namely connector FAQ

What can I sync with the Namely connector?

Namely's core objects — Profiles, Job Titles, Job Tiers, Groups and custom fields — can sync with any of 302 other systems. Every integration is real-time and bidirectional, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution.

How does Stacksync connect to Namely?

Via REST API (JSON over HTTPS), authenticated with OAuth 2.0 authorization-code grant, or a personal access token sent as a Bearer token; all calls run over HTTPS against https://{subdomain}.namely.com/api/v1. Changes are detected as follows — no webhooks; integrations poll GET endpoints and compare the updated_at / created_at timestamps on Profiles and related objects to detect changes. Stacksync manages rate limits, retries, and schema changes automatically.

Is the Namely connector two-way?

Yes. Changes made in Namely propagate to the connected system and vice versa, in milliseconds. One-way flows are also supported when a direction should stay read-only.

How long does a Namely integration take to set up?

Most Namely integrations go live in minutes: authenticate Namely and the other system, pick objects and fields, and enable the sync. No code and no infrastructure to manage.

Is Namely data secure in transit?

Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA compliant. Namely data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means records are not retained after a sync operation.
