Why teams connect Apollo.io and Azure Active Directory
Keep the people Apollo.io and Azure Active Directory both track in agreement in real time: the internal users who own records in Apollo.io, and the customer login accounts in Azure Active Directory.
A CRM and an identity system usually describe different populations. Apollo.io tracks customers, contacts, and the deals in motion; Azure Active Directory governs who is allowed to sign in and what they can reach. Where the two meet is people. The reps who own records in Apollo.io are the same employees Azure Active Directory provisions and disables, and when Azure Active Directory also runs the login accounts for your product, the customers in Apollo.io are the same users Azure Active Directory authenticates. Left unconnected, a departure in Azure Active Directory leaves stale ownership sitting in Apollo.io, and a signup in Azure Active Directory never reaches the account it belongs to.
Stacksync syncs Deals (Opportunities), Tasks and calls, Custom fields, Contacts in Apollo.io with Service principals, Directory roles, Devices, Users in Azure Active Directory 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 Deduplicate contacts across Apollo and the CRM by syncing on email as the match key.
- 02 Push CRM opportunity stages back into Apollo so reps see pipeline context while sequencing.
- 03 Replicate Groups and their Members into a Postgres warehouse for access reviews and entitlement reporting.
- 04 Mirror Applications and Service principals into a database or CMDB to track app ownership and credential expiry.
Common sync patterns
Group and entitlement membership as CRM fields
Membership of a directory group or an entitlement in Azure Active Directory maps to fields in Apollo.io, 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: Apollo.io drives Azure Active Directory
A won or activated customer in Apollo.io can create or update the corresponding user or account in Azure Active Directory, so provisioning starts from the CRM record instead of a separate ticket.
Where Azure Active Directory governs your workforce: CRM users kept current
New employees in Azure Active Directory become active users in Apollo.io with the right role, and group or department changes update their access and team, so the CRM's user list matches the directory without an admin re-keying it.
What you can sync between Apollo.io and Azure Active Directory
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.
| Apollo.io objects | Azure Active Directory objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deals (Opportunities) Pipeline records that can be read and written to keep Apollo aligned with the CRM of record. | Directory roles /directoryRoles and roleManagement assignments; read for privileged-access reviews, with role-assignment writes where the granted scopes permit. | Deals (Opportunities) is specific to Apollo.io and Directory roles to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tasks and calls Rep activity records synced for activity reporting and coaching workflows. | Devices /devices registered or joined to the tenant; typically read-only into asset and security databases. | Tasks and calls is specific to Apollo.io and Devices to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Custom fields Account- and contact-level custom attributes mapped field-by-field in a sync. | Users /users in Microsoft Graph; synced two-way — profile attributes, accountEnabled, and assignedLicenses are read out while provisioning writes (create, update, disable, delete) are pushed back. | Custom fields is specific to Apollo.io and Users to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Contacts People saved to your Apollo account, synced with emails, phone numbers, and enrichment fields. | Groups /groups covering security and Microsoft 365 groups; created, updated, and deleted through Graph, and read into warehouses for entitlement reporting. | Contacts is specific to Apollo.io and Groups to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Accounts Company records with firmographic attributes, matched to CRM accounts during sync. | Group memberships Member and owner relationships on /groups/{id}/members; added and removed via the $ref endpoint and tracked for changes with delta query on $select=members. | Accounts is specific to Apollo.io and Group memberships to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| People (database records) Prospects from Apollo's global database, pulled into downstream systems once enriched or saved. | Applications App registrations under /applications; usually read into a database or CMDB for app ownership and credential-expiry tracking. | People (database records) is specific to Apollo.io and Applications to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Apollo.io and Azure Active Directory
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.
Apollo.io Azure Active Directory Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Apollo.io for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on updated-at timestamps.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Azure Active Directory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Azure Active Directory Apollo.io Sub-second propagation
DetectionAzure Active Directory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Microsoft Graph delta query (deltaLink tokens returning only changed users and groups, with @removed deletions) paired with change-notification.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Apollo.io through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Apollo.io: Rate limits and enrichment credits vary by plan; bulk endpoints are throttled separately from single-record calls.
- Azure Active Directory: Resource-unit throttling: roughly 8,000 ResourceUnits per 10 seconds per app for reads on tenants over 500 users, writes near 3,000 requests per 2.5 minutes; 429 responses include a Retry-After header.

-
Change detection on Apollo.io: Polling on updated-at timestamps; webhook callbacks exist only for delivering asynchronous enrichment results, not as a general change-event stream. On Azure Active Directory: Microsoft Graph delta query (deltaLink tokens returning only changed users and groups, with @removed deletions) paired with change-notification webhook subscriptions for near-real-time push. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Apollo.io side: Deals (Opportunities), Tasks and calls, Custom fields, Contacts, plus custom fields where Apollo.io exposes them. On the Azure Active Directory side: Service principals, Directory roles, Devices, Users. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
-
Common patterns for Apollo.io and Azure Active Directory: Group and entitlement membership as CRM fields; Where a closed deal should provision access: Apollo.io drives Azure Active Directory; Where Azure Active Directory governs your workforce: CRM users kept current. Membership of a directory group or an entitlement in Azure Active Directory maps to fields in Apollo.io, such as product tier, plan, or internal team, so segmentation reflects real access rather than a manual guess.
