Why teams connect Active Directory and Nimble
Keep the people Nimble and Active Directory both track in agreement in real time: the internal users who own records in Nimble, and the customer login accounts in Active Directory.
A CRM and an identity system usually describe different populations. Nimble tracks customers, contacts, and the deals in motion; Active Directory governs who is allowed to sign in and what they can reach. Where the two meet is people. The reps who own records in Nimble are the same employees Active Directory provisions and disables, and when Active Directory also runs the login accounts for your product, the customers in Nimble are the same users Active Directory authenticates. Left unconnected, a departure in Active Directory leaves stale ownership sitting in Nimble, and a signup in Active Directory never reaches the account it belongs to.
Stacksync syncs Custom fields, Contacts, Companies, Deals in Nimble with Directory roles, Service principals & applications, Organizational units, Organizational contacts in Active Directory in real time and in both directions, matching on email or an external ID and mapping field by field. You decide which system owns which fields, and new users, role and group changes, deactivations, and account status move within seconds instead of waiting on a quarterly access review or a manual export.
Common use cases
- 01 Push product usage or billing flags from internal databases into Nimble custom fields so reps have context before outreach.
- 02 Keep deals aligned between Nimble and an accounting system so invoicing starts when a deal closes.
- 03 Read Users, Groups, and directoryRole assignments into a warehouse for periodic access reviews and SOC 2 audit evidence.
- 04 Keep security-group memberships aligned with application entitlement tables so access reflects the right teams as they change.
Common sync patterns
Deactivation and record hand-off
When someone is disabled in Active Directory, the matching user in Nimble is deactivated too, and the accounts, contacts, and deals they owned are flagged for reassignment, so nothing goes unattended after they leave.
Where Active Directory runs customer login accounts: identity on the customer record
Signup, account status, multi-factor enrollment, and last-login from Active Directory land on the matching contact or account in Nimble, so go-to-market teams see who has actually activated and who has gone dormant.
Group and entitlement membership as CRM fields
Membership of a directory group or an entitlement in Active Directory maps to fields in Nimble, such as product tier, plan, or internal team, so segmentation reflects real access rather than a manual guess.
What you can sync between Active Directory and Nimble
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.
| Active Directory objects | Nimble objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Groups Security and Microsoft 365 groups; synced two-way including name, type, and owner, with membership tracked separately. | Contacts Person records with multi-value fields for email, phone, and social profiles; the primary sync entity | Groups is specific to Active Directory and Contacts to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Group memberships Member and owner links between users and groups; membership add/remove changes are surfaced by delta query. | Companies Stored as contact records with a company record type, so they sync through the same contacts resource | Group memberships is specific to Active Directory and Companies to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Devices Registered and joined device objects; typically read into a database for inventory and compliance reporting. | Deals Pipeline records linked to contacts, synced to keep revenue systems aligned with sales activity | Devices is specific to Active Directory and Deals to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Directory roles Admin role assignments (directoryRole); read for access reviews and least-privilege governance. | Tasks To-do items tied to contacts, mirrored into work-management tools or reporting tables | Directory roles is specific to Active Directory and Tasks to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Service principals & applications App registrations and enterprise apps; read-mostly for entitlement and license inventory. | Activities Calls, events, and interaction history used for engagement reporting outside Nimble | Service principals & applications is specific to Active Directory and Activities to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Organizational units On-prem AD DS containers (LDAP organizationalUnit) used to scope which users and groups a sync includes. | Notes Free-text records attached to contacts, replicated for a complete account timeline | Organizational units is specific to Active Directory and Notes to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Active Directory and Nimble
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.
Active Directory Nimble Sub-second propagation
DetectionActive Directory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Microsoft Graph delta query (change tracking) for Users and Groups, plus change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) for near-real-time triggers.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Nimble through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Nimble Active Directory Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Nimble for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on record modification timestamps.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Active Directory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Active Directory: Graph throttles by resource-unit cost per app per tenant in 10-second windows (about 3,500–8,000 units by tenant size); directory delta tokens expire after ~7 days.
- Nimble: Subject to per-account API request quotas.

How the Active Directory and Nimble connectors work
Active Directory
- Integration surface
- Microsoft Graph REST API (Entra ID / cloud) and LDAP/LDAPS (on-premises AD DS)
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform — an app registration with application or delegated permissions (e.g. User.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All) and admin consent; on-prem AD DS uses a bound service account over LDAPS.
- Change detection
- Microsoft Graph delta query (change tracking) for Users and Groups, plus change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) for near-real-time triggers; on-prem AD DS uses the DirSync control and uSNChanged polling.

FAQ
Active Directory and Nimble integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Active Directory and Nimble: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Active Directory's Groups and Group memberships), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Active Directory and Nimble. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Active Directory: Microsoft Graph delta query (change tracking) for Users and Groups, plus change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) for near-real-time triggers; on-prem AD DS uses the DirSync control and uSNChanged polling. On Nimble: Polling on record modification timestamps. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Nimble side: Custom fields, Contacts, Companies, Deals, plus custom fields where Nimble exposes them. On the Active Directory side: Directory roles, Service principals & applications, Organizational units, Organizational contacts. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
-
Common patterns for Active Directory and Nimble: Deactivation and record hand-off; Where Active Directory runs customer login accounts: identity on the customer record; Group and entitlement membership as CRM fields.
