Why teams connect Attio and Namely

Keep the people who own accounts in Attio in step with the workforce records in Namely, 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 Namely. Namely 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 Deals, Workspaces, Custom objects, People in Attio with Events, Profiles, Job Titles, Job Tiers in Namely field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Namely 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 Write product usage and enrichment data into Attio attributes so GTM teams work from live account signals.
  • 02 Keep Attio aligned with a billing system or ERP on customer records and plan status.
  • 03 Push Groups and Teams (departments, locations, team categories) into downstream apps to keep org structure and reporting lines aligned.
  • 04 Feed Namely Reports as JSON into a database on a schedule for roster, turnover, and diversity dashboards without manual CSV exports.

Common sync patterns

Deactivate access when someone leaves

When Namely marks a worker as departed, the matching user in Attio is flagged or deactivated, so former employees do not keep CRM access after their last day.

One directory of people

A person's name, title, email, phone, or manager corrected in either system updates the other, so both stop maintaining separate copies of the same individual.

Where Namely tracks people the business also engages: contacts stay in sync

A person recorded in Namely, 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.

What you can sync between Attio and Namely

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 Namely objects How this pairing syncs
Companies Standard company object; matched to billing and product accounts in two-way syncs. Profiles The core employee record (personal, job, contact, and compensation fields); synced two-way via GET/POST/PUT with updated_at driving incremental polling. Companies is specific to Attio and Profiles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Job Titles Job title definitions; read and written so titles stay aligned with an HRIS, directory, or reporting dimension. Users is specific to Attio and Job Titles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Deals Pipeline records; read out for revenue reporting and written to from automation. Job Tiers Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables. Deals is specific to Attio and Job Tiers to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workspaces Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Groups Departments and locations that organize Profiles; synced to keep org structure aligned with a warehouse or IdP. Workspaces is specific to Attio and Groups to Namely — 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. Teams Teams and team categories a Profile belongs to; read and written for org-chart and provisioning workflows. Custom objects is specific to Attio and Teams to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People Standard person object; synced with marketing tools and warehouse person tables. Reports Saved Namely reports returned as JSON snapshots that update instantly; read-only feeds for headcount and roster analytics. People is specific to Attio and Reports to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Attio and Namely

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

Namely Attio Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Namely for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Attio: Subject to the platform's published API rate limits.
  • Namely: Namely's public docs do not publish a fixed request quota; the REST API returns standard HTTP status codes, so integrations should throttle and back off on 429/5xx responses.
