Why teams connect Anaplan and Hibob

Keep the employee, department, and cost records that Anaplan and Hibob 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. Hibob 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 Import and Export Actions, Processes, Cell Data, Models in Anaplan with Documents, Named lists, People (Employees), Employment in Hibob 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 Auto-provision or deprovision accounts in an IdP, ticketing tool, or app database when Bob Lifecycle events fire employee joined or terminated.
  • 04 Push Salaries and Variable Pay from Bob into a payroll provider or warehouse each pay cycle, using the Payroll-permitted service user.

Common sync patterns

People-driven costs land in finance

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

New person becomes a known record in finance

When someone is added in Hibob, a matching employee or payee record appears in Anaplan, ready for payroll, expenses, or cost allocation without anyone rekeying the details.

One employee identity

A person's name, ID, or contact details corrected in either system update the other, so finance and HR reference the same person instead of maintaining two versions.

What you can sync between Anaplan and Hibob

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 Hibob objects How this pairing syncs
Versions Scenario dimensions (actual, budget, forecast) that scope which slice a sync reads or writes. Documents Employee documents accessed under the Docs API; gated behind the Documents permission granted per service user. Versions is specific to Anaplan and Documents to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. Named lists Dropdown option lists such as departments and sites used to resolve field values when mapping People records during sync. Import and Export Actions is specific to Anaplan and Named lists to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Processes Ordered bundles of actions run as a unit during scheduled syncs. People (Employees) Core employee records with out-of-the-box and custom fields; read via POST /people/search, created and updated through the /people endpoints. Processes is specific to Anaplan and People (Employees) to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cell Data Individual intersections readable and writable through the transactional API. Employment Historical table of job terms, contract, and working pattern under /people/{id}/employment; full CRUD, entries keyed by effectiveDate. Cell Data is specific to Anaplan and Employment to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Models The planning workspaces that contain all data; syncs target a specific model. Work Reporting line, department, site, and title under /people/{id}/work; drives the org chart and is synced two-way to directories. Models is specific to Anaplan and Work to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Modules Multidimensional grids of line items where plan data lives; the main read/write surface. Salaries Compensation history at /people/{id}/salaries; full CRUD but gated behind the Payroll permission on the service user. Modules is specific to Anaplan and Salaries to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Anaplan and Hibob

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

Hibob Anaplan Sub-second propagation

DetectionHibob notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events.

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.
  • Hibob: Rate limits are enforced per service user; violations return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. The docs list POST /people/search at 50 requests per minute, and bulk /people/search is preferred over per-record reads.

How the Anaplan and Hibob connectors work

Anaplan

Integration surface
REST APIs: a Bulk API that runs predefined import/export actions and a transactional API for model metadata and cell data
Authentication
Token-based sessions obtained via basic authentication, CA certificates, or OAuth 2.0 through Anaplan's authentication service
Change detection
Polling and scheduled export actions; the platform does not expose change events
Capabilities

Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions

Hibob

Integration surface
REST API (the Bob API)
Authentication
Service User credentials over HTTP Basic auth (Base64-encoded serviceUserId:serviceUserToken); permissions granted per data category (People, Payroll, Documents) in Bob admin
Change detection
Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events; the employee.updated payload flags which fields changed and Bob recommends an API call for the full record. There is no CDC stream, and deleting a table entry fires no webhook (Bob has no table-entry deletion event).

Rate limits
Rate limits are enforced per service user; violations return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. The docs list POST /people/search at 50 requests per minute, and bulk /people/search is preferred over per-record reads.
