Why teams connect BambooHR and Dynamics 365 Business Central

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Dynamics 365 Business Central and BambooHR share in real time, so the people BambooHR manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

BambooHR is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. Dynamics 365 Business Central runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs Journals, Dimensions, Payments, Customers in Dynamics 365 Business Central with Custom Tables, Reports, Employees, Job Information in BambooHR field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while Dynamics 365 Business Central keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Create sales orders in Business Central automatically from e-commerce or CRM order records, and sync fulfillment status back.
  • 02 Mirror items and inventory levels into external channels so stock data stays current outside the ERP.
  • 03 Sync Employees and Employment Status to identity and IT systems so new hires are provisioned and departures deactivated automatically.
  • 04 Read Job Information and Departments into an ERP or planning tool so headcount, cost centers, and org structure stay current.

How changes propagate between BambooHR and Dynamics 365 Business Central

BambooHR Dynamics 365 Business Central Sub-second propagation

DetectionBambooHR notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. The Get Updated Employee IDs endpoint (last-changed timestamps) returns employees inserted, updated, or deleted since a cursor for efficient polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Dynamics 365 Business Central through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
