Why teams connect Attio and Success Factors

Keep the people who own accounts in Attio in step with the workforce records in Success Factors, 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 Success Factors. Success Factors 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 Companies, Users, Deals, Workspaces in Attio with Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter), Position, PerEmail and PerPhone, User in Success Factors field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Success Factors 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 Mirror lists and list entries into a database for pipeline reporting beyond the in-app views.
  • 02 Run a two-way dual-run when migrating to Attio from another CRM.
  • 03 Push new hires (PerPerson, EmpEmployment, EmpJob) into an ERP or payroll system so account, cost-center, and payroll setup fire on hire instead of manual Integration Center exports.
  • 04 Replicate EmpCompensation and EmpJob effective-dated history into a warehouse for headcount, attrition, and compensation reporting without CSV pulls.

Common sync patterns

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

A person recorded in Success Factors, 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 Success Factors 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 Success Factors, their accounts and territory assignments in Attio update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.

What you can sync between Attio and Success Factors

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 Success Factors objects How this pairing syncs
Users Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. User Core identity/User entity behind role-based permissions; a model distinct from Employee Central, synced two-way with a directory or IdP and downstream apps. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Workspaces Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. PerPerson Person-level container in Employee Central holding biographical data; effective-dated child entities (PerPersonal, PerEmail, PerPhone) hang off it. Workspaces is specific to Attio and PerPerson to Success Factors — 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. EmpEmployment Employment record tying a person to an employment period (hire, service dates); carries lastModifiedDateTime used for incremental polling. Custom objects is specific to Attio and EmpEmployment to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People Standard person object; synced with marketing tools and warehouse person tables. EmpJob Effective-dated job info: position, department, manager, FTE, pay grade, cost center; the most-synced record for downstream HR and provisioning. People is specific to Attio and EmpJob to Success Factors — 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. EmpCompensation Effective-dated pay and compensation; usually read into a warehouse for reporting, writable for comp updates as new dated slices. Companies is specific to Attio and EmpCompensation to Success Factors — 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. Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) Org-structure master data (department, location, cost center, division); mastered elsewhere and written in, or read out to build org charts. Deals is specific to Attio and Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Attio and Success Factors

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

Success Factors Attio Sub-second propagation

DetectionSuccess Factors notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on each entity's lastModifiedDateTime / lastModifiedOn (effective-dated entities require date-range handling).

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.
  • Success Factors: OData calls are throttled at the tenant level (Access Limits for OData V2); large reads must be paginated (default page size 1000) via $top/$skip or paging cursors.
