Why teams connect Anaplan and Greenhouse

Keep the employee, department, and cost records that Anaplan and Greenhouse share consistent in real time, so the finance system and the people system stop drifting apart.

Anaplan runs the money side of the company: who gets paid, what it costs, and which part of the business the cost belongs to. Greenhouse runs the people side: who works here, which team they sit in, and how their employment changes over time. The two overlap on the same people and the same org structure, because every employee is also a payee and every department is also a cost center. When that overlap is maintained by hand, a new hire, a transfer, or a termination has to be keyed twice, and the two systems start to disagree about who is active and where the cost lands.

Stacksync syncs Lists, List Items, Versions, Import and Export Actions in Anaplan with Candidates, Applications, Jobs, Offers in Greenhouse bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, updated, or deactivated on either side appears on the other within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly batch jobs.

That matters most when money follows a people event. A hire that finance can pay, a leaver whose access ends, a transfer that redirects cost to the right team, all happen from one change instead of two, so headcount and spend reconcile from the same set of records.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push approved plan and target numbers from Anaplan back to the CRM or compensation systems.
  • 02 Keep dimension lists (products, cost centers, territories) aligned with master data systems of record.
  • 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

Department and cost-center alignment

The org structure maintained in Greenhouse keeps the departments or cost centers in Anaplan current, so spend and headcount roll up the same way.

Status changes propagate

A role, department, or employment-status change in either system updates the other within seconds, so cost allocation, access, and reporting reflect the current state.

People-driven costs land in finance

Compensation, reimbursements, or other costs tied to a person on the Greenhouse side flow into Anaplan for posting, so the books reflect what people actually cost without manual re-entry.

What you can sync between Anaplan and Greenhouse

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.

Anaplan objects Greenhouse objects How this pairing syncs
Line Items The measures within a module, mapped to columns or metrics in syncs. Applications Links a Candidate to a Job; carries current stage, status, and source. Movable, rejectable, and hireable through Harvest write calls. Line Items is specific to Anaplan and Applications to Greenhouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. Jobs Requisitions with openings, hiring team, departments, and offices; created and patched via Harvest, read out for funnel and time-to-fill reporting. Lists is specific to Anaplan and Jobs to Greenhouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. Offers Offer records tied to an Application with status and custom offer fields; readable and patchable, commonly synced to HRIS on hire. List Items is specific to Anaplan and Offers to Greenhouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Versions Scenario dimensions (actual, budget, forecast) that scope which slice a sync reads or writes. Scorecards Interviewer feedback and ratings tied to interviews; read-only in Harvest, exported to a warehouse for interview analytics. Versions is specific to Anaplan and Scorecards to Greenhouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. Scheduled Interviews Interview events with interviewers, times, and rooms; full create/update/delete support for calendar and reporting syncs. Import and Export Actions is specific to Anaplan and Scheduled Interviews to Greenhouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Processes Ordered bundles of actions run as a unit during scheduled syncs. Users Greenhouse users (recruiters, hiring managers); read and written, and referenced by the On-Behalf-Of header on every write. Processes is specific to Anaplan and Users to Greenhouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Anaplan 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.

Anaplan Greenhouse Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Anaplan for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling and scheduled export actions.

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

Greenhouse Anaplan 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 /.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Anaplan: Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions.
  • 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.
