Why teams connect 6sense and Success Factors

Flow 6sense data into Success Factors in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

6sense is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Success Factors, so Success Factors always reflects the current state of 6sense — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

6sense runs on people as much as on accounts: every contact, deal, and account has an owner, and those owners are employees whose roles, teams, and status are held in Success Factors. Success Factors is the system of record for the workforce, from new hires to promotions to departures, and often for the candidates the business is still deciding on. When the two systems are connected only by re-keying or an overnight export, they drift apart, and the CRM ends up assigning accounts to people who have left, holding territories that no longer match the org chart, and waiting days to give a new rep access.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync 6sense buying stage and intent scores onto CRM accounts so sellers prioritize in-market targets.
  • 02 Pull segment membership into a marketing automation platform to trigger campaigns when accounts enter a segment.
  • 03 Replicate EmpCompensation and EmpJob effective-dated history into a warehouse for headcount, attrition, and compensation reporting without CSV pulls.
  • 04 Keep Foundation Objects (department, location, cost center) aligned between SuccessFactors and an ERP so cost-center and org hierarchies match.

Common sync patterns

Where Success Factors tracks people the business also engages: contacts stay in sync

A person recorded in Success Factors, such as a candidate or applicant, can create or update the matching contact in 6sense, so relationship history and outreach are not rebuilt from scratch when the same individual appears in both.

New team members provisioned when they are hired

When Success Factors records a new hire, a matching user or owner is created in 6sense, so a new rep can start working accounts without waiting on a manual setup ticket.

Ownership and territory follow the org chart

When a person changes team, manager, or region in Success Factors, their accounts and territory assignments in 6sense update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.

What you can sync between 6sense and Success Factors

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

6sense objects Success Factors objects How this pairing syncs
Accounts Company records enriched with firmographics and intent data, matched to CRM accounts. Position Position Management records for headcount and requisition planning; synced with an ATS or ERP to keep positions and reqs aligned. Accounts is specific to 6sense and Position to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Dynamic account lists built from intent and fit criteria, read out to drive targeting. PerEmail and PerPhone Contact sub-entities under PerPerson; synced two-way with a directory or comms system to keep worker contact data current. Segments is specific to 6sense and PerEmail and PerPhone to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Buying Stage Scores Model-predicted stage per account, synced onto CRM records for prioritization. User Core identity/User entity behind role-based permissions; a model distinct from Employee Central, synced two-way with a directory or IdP and downstream apps. Buying Stage Scores is specific to 6sense and User to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Intent Signals Keyword-level research activity used to flag in-market accounts. PerPerson Person-level container in Employee Central holding biographical data; effective-dated child entities (PerPersonal, PerEmail, PerPhone) hang off it. Intent Signals is specific to 6sense and PerPerson to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People / Contacts Persona and contact data surfaced for accounts, used to build outreach lists. EmpEmployment Employment record tying a person to an employment period (hire, service dates); carries lastModifiedDateTime used for incremental polling. People / Contacts is specific to 6sense and EmpEmployment to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reach Scores Model scores reflecting the level and recency of outreach to an account or contact, used to prioritize follow-up. EmpJob Effective-dated job info: position, department, manager, FTE, pay grade, cost center; the most-synced record for downstream HR and provisioning. Reach Scores is specific to 6sense and EmpJob to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between 6sense and Success Factors

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

6sense Success Factors Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls 6sense for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Success Factors through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Success Factors 6sense Sub-second propagation

DetectionSuccess Factors notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on each entity's lastModifiedDateTime / lastModifiedOn (effective-dated entities require date-range handling).

Delivery6sense does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: 6sense's output flows back as field updates on the originating Success Factors records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • 6sense: Subject to the platform's API rate limits, which vary by contracted API package.
  • Success Factors: OData calls are throttled at the tenant level (Access Limits for OData V2); large reads must be paginated (default page size 1000) via $top/$skip or paging cursors.
