Why teams connect Adobe Sign and Paylocity

Keep the people, teams, and status that Adobe Sign and Paylocity share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in Adobe Sign keeps its own list of who can use it: users, members, or agents, along with the team they sit on and whether they are still active. Paylocity is the authoritative record of the same people as employees, with their department, manager, and employment status. When those two are connected only by manual account admin or a periodic export, the work tools drift: new hires wait days for access, team and manager changes never catch up, and people who have left keep standing accounts.

Stacksync syncs Agreement Form Field Data, Agreement Events, Library Templates, Widgets in Adobe Sign with Onboarding, Deductions (Pay Setup), Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes in Paylocity bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Paylocity creates or updates the matching user in Adobe Sign within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Adobe Sign captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Paylocity in whichever direction you configure.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared facts, who a person is, which team they belong to, and whether their access should be on, are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream the per-agreement Agreement Events audit trail into a compliance database for retention and who-signed-what reporting.
  • 02 Read Widget submissions from embedded web signing forms into a database to trigger onboarding or contract-fulfillment workflows.
  • 03 React to the Employee Change webhook to pull the updated Employee record and propagate title, location, or manager changes to downstream apps within minutes.
  • 04 Two-way sync of Employees between Paylocity and an HRIS or identity provider so new hires, terminations, and demographic edits flow both directions.

Common sync patterns

Org and team structure kept current

Department, team, and reporting-line changes from Paylocity keep the groups, queues, or projects in Adobe Sign assigned to the right people.

Where Adobe Sign routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org

When someone changes teams or managers in Paylocity, the queues, ownership, or approvals in Adobe Sign update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in Paylocity creates the matching user in Adobe Sign with the right team and manager already set, so people can start working without waiting on a provisioning ticket.

What you can sync between Adobe Sign and Paylocity

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.

Adobe Sign objects Paylocity objects How this pairing syncs
MegaSign Bulk-send parent objects that fan one document out to many recipients; child agreements are tracked individually. Local and State Taxes Two-way via Create/Update/Delete Local Tax and Upsert Primary / Non-Primary State Tax; Get by tax code and Get All for reads. MegaSign is specific to Adobe Sign and Local and State Taxes to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Account users; provisioned and updated two-way from an HR system or identity provider. Direct Deposit Read-only: Get All Direct Deposit and Get Employee Bank Accounts return main and additional allocations. Bank details cannot be written through the API. Users is specific to Adobe Sign and Direct Deposit to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups Organizational groups that scope sharing and settings; synced from org structure or an IdP. Pay Statements Read-only detailed payroll statement data — earnings, deductions, taxes, and direct deposit allocations by year, check date, or date range. Pulled for reporting, never written. Groups is specific to Adobe Sign and Pay Statements to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Agreements The core e-signature transaction; created and sent from other systems, then read back for status (out-for-signature, signed, cancelled) and the completed PDF. Company Codes Read-only reference codes and descriptions (cost centers, departments, positions) used to validate field mappings on employee writes. Agreements is specific to Adobe Sign and Company Codes to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Agreement Form Field Data Merge fields prefilled at send and values captured from signers; read into a database so contract terms and inputs are queryable. Custom Fields Read-only company-specific custom fields returned by category, used to enrich the employee record downstream. Agreement Form Field Data is specific to Adobe Sign and Custom Fields to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Agreement Events Per-agreement audit trail of every action (viewed, delegated, signed); read-only, synced into compliance stores. Employees Core HR record keyed by companyId + employeeId; two-way via Create New Employee (POST) and Update Employee (PATCH), plus Get Employee / Get All Employees for reads. Agreement Events is specific to Adobe Sign and Employees to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Adobe Sign and Paylocity

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.

Adobe Sign Paylocity Sub-second propagation

DetectionAdobe Sign notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (REST v6 webhook subscriptions) fire near-real-time on agreement events such as created, action requested, completed, and cancelled.

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

Paylocity Adobe Sign Sub-second propagation

DetectionPaylocity notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Adobe Sign: Per-user throttling at minute, hour, and day tiers shared between web UI and API traffic; exceeding a tier returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Exponential backoff with jitter is recommended.
  • Paylocity: 25 requests per second (1,500 per minute); exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Every path is scoped to a Paylocity-assigned companyId (a company code, not a UUID).

How the Adobe Sign and Paylocity connectors work

Adobe Sign

Integration surface
REST API v6 (JSON)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow with granular per-resource scopes (agreement_read, agreement_write, agreement_send, user_read, user_write, webhook_read, webhook_write); legacy Integration Keys also supported
Change detection
Webhooks (REST v6 webhook subscriptions) fire near-real-time on agreement events such as created, action requested, completed, and cancelled; polling GET /agreements by modifiedDate is the fallback

Paylocity

Integration surface
REST API (v1 and v2), JSON payloads
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client credentials via the Paylocity Identity Provider (/IdentityServer/connect/token) with the WebLinkAPI scope; access tokens expire after one hour and API access must be enabled by Paylocity for the company
Change detection
Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL; payloads carry only companyId and employeeId, so the receiver calls the relevant API to fetch changed values. Scheduled polling is used for objects without webhooks.
