Why teams connect Affinity and Ceridian Dayforce
Keep the people who own accounts in Affinity in step with the workforce records in Ceridian Dayforce, so ownership, roles, and org structure stay current in both systems, in real time and in both directions.
Affinity 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 Ceridian Dayforce. Ceridian Dayforce 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.
Stacksync syncs Notes, Interactions, Reminders, Lists in Affinity with Employee (HR / Person Details), Employment Status, Work Assignments, Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments in Ceridian Dayforce field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Ceridian Dayforce stays authoritative on roles and org structure while Affinity keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.
Common use cases
- 01 Keep introductions and relationship data from Affinity aligned with outreach tools used by the team.
- 02 Sync notes and reminders into project or task systems used outside the deal team.
- 03 Two-way sync of Employee and Work Assignment data (position, department, location, org unit) into Postgres so provisioning, internal apps, and analytics read current worker and org data in SQL while HR keeps editing in Dayforce.
- 04 Push new hires (Employee, Employment Status, Work Assignment) from an ATS or onboarding tool into Dayforce with POST once a candidate is hired, pre-fetching valid XRefCodes for department, position, location, and pay group.
Common sync patterns
Where Ceridian Dayforce tracks people the business also engages: contacts stay in sync
A person recorded in Ceridian Dayforce, such as a candidate or applicant, can create or update the matching contact in Affinity, 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 Ceridian Dayforce records a new hire, a matching user or owner is created in Affinity, 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 Ceridian Dayforce, their accounts and territory assignments in Affinity update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.
What you can sync between Affinity and Ceridian Dayforce
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.
| Affinity objects | Ceridian Dayforce objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Persons Contact records enriched with relationship intelligence, synced with CRMs and outreach tools. | Employment Status Effective-dated employment status and type (active, leave, terminated) that drives active/terminated state for downstream provisioning; read, and writable as new dated status records. | Persons is specific to Affinity and Employment Status to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Organizations Company records matched to accounts in other systems by domain. | Work Assignments Effective-dated position, department, location, and org-unit assignment; the most-synced record for org charts, provisioning, and analytics. Read and updatable via PATCH. | Organizations is specific to Affinity and Work Assignments to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Opportunities Deal records tracked on lists and synced with pipeline reporting. | Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments Compensation Summary returns pay rate and frequency for reporting; Employee Pay Adjustments are written as effective-dated records via PATCH to post pay changes back to Dayforce. | Opportunities is specific to Affinity and Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Field Values Custom field data, either global or scoped to a list, mapped field-by-field in syncs. | Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries Time-and-attendance punches; raw clock entries are added with POST and punches removed with DELETE, so time data flows both ways between Dayforce and scheduling or workforce tools. | Field Values is specific to Affinity and Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Notes Meeting and call notes synced for record-keeping in other systems. | Employee Schedules Shift and schedule assignments; created and updated through POST and PATCH schedule endpoints and paged with pageSize, used to push schedules from a WFM tool or pull them for analytics. | Notes is specific to Affinity and Employee Schedules to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Interactions Automatically captured emails and meetings, read for activity reporting. | Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions Configuration reference data; POST creates org units and departments and PATCH updates job, position, department, and org-unit data. Used to resolve and validate XRefCodes when mapping employee writes. | Interactions is specific to Affinity and Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Affinity and Ceridian Dayforce
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.
Affinity Ceridian Dayforce Sub-second propagation
DetectionAffinity notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, supplemented by polling.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Ceridian Dayforce through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations
- Affinity: Subject to the platform's published API rate limits.
- Ceridian Dayforce: Dayforce does not publish numeric rate limits; thresholds vary by tenant and exceeding them returns HTTP 429, so large employee reads are paged (pageSize) and throttled with backoff. Employee list calls return XRefCodes only, so each employee needs a follow-up GET.

Ceridian Dayforce
- Integration surface
- REST API (Dayforce RESTful Web Services, v1/v2), JSON payloads
- Authentication
- HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated Web Services user plus the client namespace (Company ID), or an OAuth 2.0 access token from the Dayforce identity endpoint (POST dfid.dayforcehcm.com/connect/token, client_id Dayforce.HCMAnywhere.Client). Token-based auth is recommended, and the Web Services role with the Read Data subfeature must be enabled on the account.
- Change detection
- No CDC stream. Broad change detection uses delta polling on GET Employees with filterUpdatedStartDate/filterUpdatedEndDate and filterUpdatedEntities to pull only records changed in a window. Dayforce also has native Event Notifications (the Notification Publisher) for lifecycle events — hire, rehire, terminate, and workflow validation — delivered by push to a receiver service or by querying unacknowledged notifications; the publisher runs roughly hourly and each notification must be acknowledged.

Change detection on Affinity: Webhook subscriptions for record events, supplemented by polling. On Ceridian Dayforce: No CDC stream. Broad change detection uses delta polling on GET Employees with filterUpdatedStartDate/filterUpdatedEndDate and filterUpdatedEntities to pull only records changed in a window. Dayforce also has native Event Notifications (the Notification Publisher) for lifecycle events — hire, rehire, terminate, and workflow validation — delivered by push to a receiver service or by querying unacknowledged notifications; the publisher runs roughly hourly and each notification must be acknowledged. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Affinity side: Notes, Interactions, Reminders, Lists, plus custom fields where Affinity exposes them. On the Ceridian Dayforce side: Employee (HR / Person Details), Employment Status, Work Assignments, Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
