Why teams connect Atlassian and Hibob

Keep the people, teams, and status that Atlassian and Hibob share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in Atlassian 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 Attachments, Custom Fields, Workflows and Statuses, Users and Groups in Atlassian with Work, Salaries, Time off, Lifecycle in Hibob bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Hibob creates or updates the matching user in Atlassian within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Atlassian 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.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Confluence page metadata into a knowledge index so other tools can link to current documentation.
  • 02 Mirror Jira projects into a SQL database for engineering throughput and SLA reporting.
  • 03 Mirror Work data (department, site, manager, title) into an org-chart or reporting warehouse for headcount and structure analysis.
  • 04 Sync Time off requests and who's-out data into a scheduling or workforce-planning database for coverage and capacity reporting.

Common sync patterns

Org and team structure kept current

Department, team, and reporting-line changes from Hibob keep the groups, queues, or projects in Atlassian assigned to the right people.

Where Atlassian routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org

When someone changes teams or managers in Hibob, the queues, ownership, or approvals in Atlassian update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in Hibob creates the matching user in Atlassian with the right team and manager already set, so people can start working without waiting on a provisioning ticket.

What you can sync between Atlassian 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.

Atlassian objects Hibob objects How this pairing syncs
Workflows and Statuses Status transitions mapped to stages in the paired system. 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. Workflows and Statuses is specific to Atlassian and People (Employees) to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users and Groups Assignees and reporters matched to identities in other tools. Employment Historical table of job terms, contract, and working pattern under /people/{id}/employment; full CRUD, entries keyed by effectiveDate. Users and Groups is specific to Atlassian and Employment to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Confluence Pages Documentation content readable and writable through the Confluence REST API. Work Reporting line, department, site, and title under /people/{id}/work; drives the org chart and is synced two-way to directories. Confluence Pages is specific to Atlassian and Work to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Confluence Spaces Namespaces that scope page syncs and permissions. Salaries Compensation history at /people/{id}/salaries; full CRUD but gated behind the Payroll permission on the service user. Confluence Spaces is specific to Atlassian and Salaries to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Jira Issues The central work item, synced two-way with CRMs, support desks, and other trackers. Time off Absence requests and who's-out data via /timeoff/employees/{id}/requests and /timeoff/whosout; submit new requests and read balances. Jira Issues is specific to Atlassian and Time off to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Jira Projects Containers that scope issues, workflows, and permissions for a sync. Lifecycle Hire, termination, and leave status changes at /people/{id}/lifecycle; read-only and the source of lifecycle webhook events. Jira Projects is specific to Atlassian and Lifecycle to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Atlassian 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.

Atlassian Hibob Sub-second propagation

DetectionAtlassian notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks on issue and page events, plus JQL polling on the updated timestamp for backfill.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.

There is no CDC stream, and deleting a table entry fires no webhook (Bob has no table-entry deletion event).
