Why teams connect Azure Active Directory and Folk CRM
Keep the people Folk CRM and Azure Active Directory both track in agreement in real time: the internal users who own records in Folk CRM, and the customer login accounts in Azure Active Directory.
A CRM and an identity system usually describe different populations. Folk CRM tracks customers, contacts, and the deals in motion; Azure Active Directory governs who is allowed to sign in and what they can reach. Where the two meet is people. The reps who own records in Folk CRM are the same employees Azure Active Directory provisions and disables, and when Azure Active Directory also runs the login accounts for your product, the customers in Folk CRM are the same users Azure Active Directory authenticates. Left unconnected, a departure in Azure Active Directory leaves stale ownership sitting in Folk CRM, and a signup in Azure Active Directory never reaches the account it belongs to.
Stacksync syncs Custom fields, Notes, Reminders, People in Folk CRM with Applications, Service principals, Directory roles, Devices in Azure Active Directory in real time and in both directions, matching on email or an external ID and mapping field by field. You decide which system owns which fields, and new users, role and group changes, deactivations, and account status move within seconds instead of waiting on a quarterly access review or a manual export.
Common use cases
- 01 Keep folk and a billing or customer success tool aligned on company records as deals close.
- 02 Sync folk people and companies with a marketing or outbound tool so outreach lists stay current.
- 03 Sync manager, department, and jobTitle from an HRIS back onto Entra ID User attributes to keep dynamic groups and Conditional Access accurate.
- 04 Replicate Groups and their Members into a Postgres warehouse for access reviews and entitlement reporting.
Common sync patterns
Where Azure Active Directory runs customer login accounts: identity on the customer record
Signup, account status, multi-factor enrollment, and last-login from Azure Active Directory land on the matching contact or account in Folk CRM, so go-to-market teams see who has actually activated and who has gone dormant.
Group and entitlement membership as CRM fields
Membership of a directory group or an entitlement in Azure Active Directory maps to fields in Folk CRM, such as product tier, plan, or internal team, so segmentation reflects real access rather than a manual guess.
Where a closed deal should provision access: Folk CRM drives Azure Active Directory
A won or activated customer in Folk CRM can create or update the corresponding user or account in Azure Active Directory, so provisioning starts from the CRM record instead of a separate ticket.
What you can sync between Azure Active Directory and Folk CRM
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.
| Azure Active Directory objects | Folk CRM objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Groups /groups covering security and Microsoft 365 groups; created, updated, and deleted through Graph, and read into warehouses for entitlement reporting. | Groups Shared workspaces that organize contacts; group membership is often the field integrations act on. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Group memberships Member and owner relationships on /groups/{id}/members; added and removed via the $ref endpoint and tracked for changes with delta query on $select=members. | Companies Organization records linked to people and kept aligned with billing or CS systems. | Group memberships is specific to Azure Active Directory and Companies to Folk CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Applications App registrations under /applications; usually read into a database or CMDB for app ownership and credential-expiry tracking. | Custom fields Group-scoped attributes that receive enriched or computed values from external systems. | Applications is specific to Azure Active Directory and Custom fields to Folk CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Service principals /servicePrincipals (enterprise apps) plus appRoleAssignments; read for app inventory and access-posture reporting. | Notes Free-text context attached to people and companies, readable for reporting. | Service principals is specific to Azure Active Directory and Notes to Folk CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Directory roles /directoryRoles and roleManagement assignments; read for privileged-access reviews, with role-assignment writes where the granted scopes permit. | Reminders Follow-up items that can be created from external triggers. | Directory roles is specific to Azure Active Directory and Reminders to Folk CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Devices /devices registered or joined to the tenant; typically read-only into asset and security databases. | People Contact records; the primary entity synced with outreach and enrichment tools. | Devices is specific to Azure Active Directory and People to Folk CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Azure Active Directory and Folk CRM
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.
Azure Active Directory Folk CRM Sub-second propagation
DetectionAzure Active Directory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Microsoft Graph delta query (deltaLink tokens returning only changed users and groups, with @removed deletions) paired with change-notification.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Folk CRM through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Folk CRM Azure Active Directory Sub-second propagation
DetectionFolk CRM notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling of list endpoints as a fallback.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Azure Active Directory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Azure Active Directory: Resource-unit throttling: roughly 8,000 ResourceUnits per 10 seconds per app for reads on tenants over 500 users, writes near 3,000 requests per 2.5 minutes; 429 responses include a Retry-After header.
- Folk CRM: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.

FAQ
Azure Active Directory and Folk CRM integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Azure Active Directory and Folk CRM: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Azure Active Directory's Groups and Group memberships), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Folk CRM: Folk's model centers on people and companies organized into shared groups rather than pipeline-first objects, so group membership carries much of the workflow state. Azure Active Directory: Directory write scopes such as User.ReadWrite.All and Group.ReadWrite.All are application permissions that require tenant admin consent before an app can create or modify Users and Groups. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Azure Active Directory and Folk CRM 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 Azure Active Directory and Folk CRM records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Azure Active Directory and Folk CRM connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Azure Active Directory–Folk CRM integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Azure Active Directory and Folk CRM. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-

On Folk CRM: Webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling of list endpoints as a fallback. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
