Why teams connect Attio and Ceridian Dayforce
Keep the people who own accounts in Attio in step with the workforce records in Ceridian Dayforce, so ownership, roles, and org structure stay current in both systems, in real time and in both directions.
Attio runs on people as much as on accounts: every contact, deal, and account has an owner, and those owners are employees whose roles, teams, and status are held in Ceridian Dayforce. Ceridian Dayforce is the system of record for the workforce, from new hires to promotions to departures, and often for the candidates the business is still deciding on. When the two systems are connected only by re-keying or an overnight export, they drift apart, and the CRM ends up assigning accounts to people who have left, holding territories that no longer match the org chart, and waiting days to give a new rep access.
Stacksync syncs People, Companies, Users, Deals in Attio with Employee Schedules, Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions, Time Away From Work & Balances, Employee (HR / Person Details) in Ceridian Dayforce field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Ceridian Dayforce stays authoritative on roles and org structure while Attio keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.
Common use cases
- 01 Run a two-way dual-run when migrating to Attio from another CRM.
- 02 Sync companies, people, and deals with Postgres so ops teams enrich and update CRM records with SQL.
- 03 React to Dayforce Event Notifications for hire, rehire, and terminate to provision or disable IdP and app access and update downstream records as the changes post.
- 04 Replicate Compensation Summary and pay data into a warehouse for headcount, labor-cost, and compensation reporting without manual BI exports.
Common sync patterns
Where Ceridian Dayforce tracks people the business also engages: contacts stay in sync
A person recorded in Ceridian Dayforce, such as a candidate or applicant, can create or update the matching contact in Attio, so relationship history and outreach are not rebuilt from scratch when the same individual appears in both.
New team members provisioned when they are hired
When Ceridian Dayforce records a new hire, a matching user or owner is created in Attio, so a new rep can start working accounts without waiting on a manual setup ticket.
Ownership and territory follow the org chart
When a person changes team, manager, or region in Ceridian Dayforce, their accounts and territory assignments in Attio update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.
What you can sync between Attio and Ceridian Dayforce
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.
| Attio objects | Ceridian Dayforce objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deals Pipeline records; read out for revenue reporting and written to from automation. | Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments Compensation Summary returns pay rate and frequency for reporting; Employee Pay Adjustments are written as effective-dated records via PATCH to post pay changes back to Dayforce. | Deals is specific to Attio and Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Workspaces Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries Time-and-attendance punches; raw clock entries are added with POST and punches removed with DELETE, so time data flows both ways between Dayforce and scheduling or workforce tools. | Workspaces is specific to Attio and Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Custom objects Workspace-defined objects that behave like standard ones in the API. | Employee Schedules Shift and schedule assignments; created and updated through POST and PATCH schedule endpoints and paged with pageSize, used to push schedules from a WFM tool or pull them for analytics. | Custom objects is specific to Attio and Employee Schedules to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| People Standard person object; synced with marketing tools and warehouse person tables. | Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions Configuration reference data; POST creates org units and departments and PATCH updates job, position, department, and org-unit data. Used to resolve and validate XRefCodes when mapping employee writes. | People is specific to Attio and Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Companies Standard company object; matched to billing and product accounts in two-way syncs. | Time Away From Work & Balances Time-off requests and accrual balances read per employee; pulled into scheduling, payroll, or absence-reporting databases and used to reconcile leave against downstream systems. | Companies is specific to Attio and Time Away From Work & Balances to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Users Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Employee (HR / Person Details) Core worker record keyed by XRefCode; GET Employees returns matching XRefCodes, then a per-employee GET fetches full HR details. New hires are added with POST and edits made with PATCH, so it is read and write. | Users is specific to Attio and Employee (HR / Person Details) to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Attio and Ceridian Dayforce
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.
Attio Ceridian Dayforce Sub-second propagation
DetectionAttio notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks on record and list-entry events, with polling as a fallback.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Ceridian Dayforce through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations
- Attio: Subject to the platform's published API rate limits.
- Ceridian Dayforce: Dayforce does not publish numeric rate limits; thresholds vary by tenant and exceeding them returns HTTP 429, so large employee reads are paged (pageSize) and throttled with backoff. Employee list calls return XRefCodes only, so each employee needs a follow-up GET.

How the Attio and Ceridian Dayforce connectors work
Attio
- Integration surface
- REST API
- Authentication
- Guided in-app connection ("Attio CRM" connection created in a few clicks, "without any coding required"); the docs do not name the underlying auth mechanism (OAuth vs API key)

Ceridian Dayforce
- Integration surface
- REST API (Dayforce RESTful Web Services, v1/v2), JSON payloads
- Authentication
- HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated Web Services user plus the client namespace (Company ID), or an OAuth 2.0 access token from the Dayforce identity endpoint (POST dfid.dayforcehcm.com/connect/token, client_id Dayforce.HCMAnywhere.Client). Token-based auth is recommended, and the Web Services role with the Read Data subfeature must be enabled on the account.
- Change detection
- No CDC stream. Broad change detection uses delta polling on GET Employees with filterUpdatedStartDate/filterUpdatedEndDate and filterUpdatedEntities to pull only records changed in a window. Dayforce also has native Event Notifications (the Notification Publisher) for lifecycle events — hire, rehire, terminate, and workflow validation — delivered by push to a receiver service or by querying unacknowledged notifications; the publisher runs roughly hourly and each notification must be acknowledged.

Attio: Object coverage limited to the six listed entries (People, Companies, Users, Deals, Workspaces, custom objects); anything else requires emailing Stacksync. Ceridian Dayforce: Dayforce is genuinely two-way: POST adds employees, org units, raw clock entries, and schedules; PATCH updates employees, pay adjustments, jobs, positions, and org units; DELETE removes punches. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Attio and Ceridian Dayforce without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Attio and Ceridian Dayforce records are not retained after a sync operation.
