Why teams connect Affinity and Okta

Keep the people Affinity and Okta both track in agreement in real time: the internal users who own records in Affinity, and the customer login accounts in Okta.

A CRM and an identity system usually describe different populations. Affinity tracks customers, contacts, and the deals in motion; Okta governs who is allowed to sign in and what they can reach. Where the two meet is people. The reps who own records in Affinity are the same employees Okta provisions and disables, and when Okta also runs the login accounts for your product, the customers in Affinity are the same users Okta authenticates. Left unconnected, a departure in Okta leaves stale ownership sitting in Affinity, and a signup in Okta never reaches the account it belongs to.

Stacksync syncs Opportunities, Field Values, Notes, Interactions in Affinity with Group Rules, Factors (Authenticators), Policies, System Log in Okta 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 enrichment data computed elsewhere into Affinity field values on list entries.
  • 02 Keep introductions and relationship data from Affinity aligned with outreach tools used by the team.
  • 03 Read Application assignments and Factors into a database to report on who can reach which app and which users have strong MFA enrolled.
  • 04 Drive Group Rules and policy assignments from HR attributes so access changes the moment a title, department, or location changes.

Common sync patterns

Where Okta runs customer login accounts: identity on the customer record

Signup, account status, multi-factor enrollment, and last-login from Okta land on the matching contact or account in Affinity, 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 Okta maps to fields in Affinity, such as product tier, plan, or internal team, so segmentation reflects real access rather than a manual guess.

Where a closed deal should provision access: Affinity drives Okta

A won or activated customer in Affinity can create or update the corresponding user or account in Okta, so provisioning starts from the CRM record instead of a separate ticket.

What you can sync between Affinity and Okta

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 Okta objects How this pairing syncs
Reminders Follow-up tasks associated with people and organizations. Policies Sign-on, password, and authenticator-enrollment policies with their rules; read to audit access controls or updated to manage them centrally. Reminders is specific to Affinity and Policies to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lists Pipelines (deal flow, fundraising, portfolio) that structure most Affinity data; syncs usually target a specific list. System Log Immutable audit event stream of logins, admin changes, and lifecycle events; read-only, polled by timestamp and used as the change feed and SIEM source. Lists is specific to Affinity and System Log to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
List Entries The membership of a person, organization, or opportunity on a list, carrying its list-specific fields. Devices Registered and managed device records tied to users; read to correlate access with device posture and to feed inventory or conditional-access reporting. List Entries is specific to Affinity and Devices to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Persons Contact records enriched with relationship intelligence, synced with CRMs and outreach tools. Users Universal Directory user records with profile attributes, credentials, and lifecycle status (staged, active, suspended, deprovisioned); full CRUD, so users are created, updated, activated, and deactivated to match an HR or identity source. Persons is specific to Affinity and Users to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Organizations Company records matched to accounts in other systems by domain. Groups Okta groups (OKTA_GROUP, APP_GROUP, BUILT_IN) and their memberships; OKTA_GROUP records and membership are written to drive app and resource access. Organizations is specific to Affinity and Groups to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Opportunities Deal records tracked on lists and synced with pipeline reporting. Applications App integrations (SAML, OIDC, SWA) with per-user and per-group assignments; read and updated to manage which identities can reach each downstream app. Opportunities is specific to Affinity and Applications to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Affinity and Okta

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

Okta Affinity Sub-second propagation

DetectionOkta notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Affinity: Subject to the platform's published API rate limits.
  • Okta: Rate limits are enforced per org, per endpoint group, per minute and vary by Okta edition; responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Limit, X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and X-Rate-Limit-Reset headers and exceeding one returns HTTP 429. The System Log is more tightly limited (about 120 requests/minute) and a separate concurrent-request cap (default 75 in-flight transactions) also applies.
