Two-way sync
Changes in Asana or Hibob instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Keep Asana and Hibob in sync without custom scripts. Cut weeks of integration work, eliminate silent data drift, and give your team a single, reliable source of truth.
Each tool in Asana keeps its own list of who can use it: users, members, or agents, along with the team they sit on and whether they are still active. Hibob is the authoritative record of the same people as employees, with their department, manager, and employment status. When those two are connected only by manual account admin or a periodic export, the work tools drift: new hires wait days for access, team and manager changes never catch up, and people who have left keep standing accounts.
Stacksync syncs Tasks, Projects, Sections, Custom fields in Asana with Salaries, Time off, Lifecycle, Documents in Hibob bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Hibob creates or updates the matching user in Asana within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Asana captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Hibob in whichever direction you configure.
Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared facts, who a person is, which team they belong to, and whether their access should be on, are held in agreement.
A person's name, title, contact details, or status corrected in either system updates the other, so both sides stop maintaining separate copies of the same person.
Department, team, and reporting-line changes from Hibob keep the groups, queues, or projects in Asana assigned to the right people.
When someone changes teams or managers in Hibob, the queues, ownership, or approvals in Asana update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.
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.
| Asana objects | Hibob objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sections Ordered groupings of Tasks within a project; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row. | Lifecycle Hire, termination, and leave status changes at /people/{id}/lifecycle; read-only and the source of lifecycle webhook events. | Sections is specific to Asana and Lifecycle to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Custom fields Typed fields (text, number, enum, multi-enum, date, people) defined at project or workspace level; mapped to database columns, with enum values written by option GID. | Documents Employee documents accessed under the Docs API; gated behind the Documents permission granted per service user. | Custom fields is specific to Asana and Documents to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Stories Comments and activity entries on a Task; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments. | Named lists Dropdown option lists such as departments and sites used to resolve field values when mapping People records during sync. | Stories is specific to Asana and Named lists to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Users Members of a workspace or organization referenced by assignee and follower fields; read to resolve GIDs to names and emails. | 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. | Users is specific to Asana and People (Employees) to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Portfolios Collections of Projects for program-level rollup; read for cross-project status and progress reporting (Business and Enterprise). | Employment Historical table of job terms, contract, and working pattern under /people/{id}/employment; full CRUD, entries keyed by effectiveDate. | Portfolios is specific to Asana and Employment to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tags Labels applied across Tasks; synced as a many-to-many attribute for filtering and categorization. | Work Reporting line, department, site, and title under /people/{id}/work; drives the org chart and is synced two-way to directories. | Tags is specific to Asana and Work to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
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.
DetectionAsana notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Resource-scoped webhooks (established with an X-Hook-Secret handshake) POST events on create, change, and delete.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Hibob through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
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 Asana through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.
Authenticate Asana and Hibob with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
Pick the Asana and Hibob objects to sync — Stacksync auto-detects both schemas, including custom fields where the platform exposes them. Sync to existing tables, or let Stacksync create new ones with ideal data types.
Fields map automatically even when names and types differ. Stacksync handles transformation and type casting for you, zero configuration required.
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Asana and Hibob: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Asana's Sections and Custom fields), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
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 Asana and Hibob: One employee directory; Org and team structure kept current; Where Asana routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org. A person's name, title, contact details, or status corrected in either system updates the other, so both sides stop maintaining separate copies of the same person.
Asana: REST API (app.asana.com/api/1.0, JSON responses), plus resource-scoped Webhooks and a sync-token Events API. Authentication: OAuth 2.0 for multi-user apps, Personal Access Tokens (PATs) for single-account use and testing, and organization-scoped Service Accounts (Enterprise) for admin-level access. Hibob: 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. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
Asana: Rate limits are per token: 1,500 requests/minute on paid plans and 150 on free, with the Search API capped at 60/minute; hitting a limit returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Hibob: The API uses cursor-based pagination (pageSize up to 1000 with a next-cursor token); offset-based pagination is not supported. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Asana and Hibob without custom code.
