Why teams connect Affinity and Greenhouse

Keep the people who own accounts in Affinity in step with the workforce records in Greenhouse, 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 Greenhouse. Greenhouse 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 Organizations, Opportunities, Field Values, Notes in Affinity with Candidates, Applications, Jobs, Offers in Greenhouse field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Greenhouse 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 Mirror deal-flow lists into a warehouse or BI tool for pipeline and portfolio reporting.
  • 02 Push enrichment data computed elsewhere into Affinity field values on list entries.
  • 03 Two-way sync Candidates and Applications with Postgres so recruiting-ops apps read and update stage, status, and custom fields in SQL while recruiters stay in Greenhouse.
  • 04 Write enriched or sourced Candidates from external tools into Greenhouse and keep contact fields refreshed as data changes.

Common sync patterns

One directory of people

A person's name, title, email, phone, or manager corrected in either system updates the other, so both stop maintaining separate copies of the same individual.

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

A person recorded in Greenhouse, 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 Greenhouse 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.

How changes propagate between Affinity and Greenhouse

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 Greenhouse 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 Greenhouse through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Greenhouse Affinity Sub-second propagation

DetectionGreenhouse notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks for candidate, application, job, and interview events, plus polling list endpoints with created_after / updated_after /.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Affinity: Subject to the platform's published API rate limits.
  • Greenhouse: Harvest enforces a per-integration limit over a rolling 10-second window (X-RateLimit-Limit, commonly 50 requests / 10s for approved integrations); responses carry X-RateLimit-Remaining and, on a 429, X-RateLimit-Reset and Retry-After.
