Why teams connect BetterContact and Hibob
Keep the people, teams, and status that BetterContact and Hibob share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.
BetterContact is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Hibob, so Hibob always reflects the current state of BetterContact — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.
Each tool in BetterContact keeps its own list of who can use it: users, members, or agents, along with the team they sit on and whether they are still active. Hibob is the authoritative record of the same people as employees, with their department, manager, and employment status. When those two are connected only by manual account admin or a periodic export, the work tools drift: new hires wait days for access, team and manager changes never catch up, and people who have left keep standing accounts.
Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared facts, who a person is, which team they belong to, and whether their access should be on, are held in agreement.
Common use cases
- 01 Feed outbound sequencing tools with verified contact data before campaigns launch.
- 02 Validate catch-all email addresses before sending to protect sender domain reputation.
- 03 Auto-provision or deprovision accounts in an IdP, ticketing tool, or app database when Bob Lifecycle events fire employee joined or terminated.
- 04 Push Salaries and Variable Pay from Bob into a payroll provider or warehouse each pay cycle, using the Payroll-permitted service user.
Common sync patterns
Onboarding: access ready on day one
A new hire recorded in Hibob creates the matching user in BetterContact with the right team and manager already set, so people can start working without waiting on a provisioning ticket.
Offboarding: no standing access after a departure
When someone is marked as leaving in Hibob, the matching account in BetterContact is deactivated or flagged, so departures do not leave open access behind.
One employee directory
A person's name, title, contact details, or status corrected in either system updates the other, so both sides stop maintaining separate copies of the same person.
What you can sync between BetterContact and Hibob
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.
| BetterContact objects | Hibob objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enriched Contact Verified work emails and mobile numbers with job title, LinkedIn profile, location, and skills. | Documents Employee documents accessed under the Docs API; gated behind the Documents permission granted per service user. | Enriched Contact is specific to BetterContact and Documents to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Company Company data returned with each contact: name, domain, HQ location, industry, employee count. | Named lists Dropdown option lists such as departments and sites used to resolve field values when mapping People records during sync. | Company is specific to BetterContact and Named lists to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Lead Finder Search Prospect discovery by people and company filters, returning enriched lead profiles. | People (Employees) Core employee records with out-of-the-box and custom fields; read via POST /people/search, created and updated through the /people endpoints. | Lead Finder Search is specific to BetterContact and People (Employees) to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Enrichment Request Batch or single submissions of up to 100 contacts per request for waterfall enrichment. | Employment Historical table of job terms, contract, and working pattern under /people/{id}/employment; full CRUD, entries keyed by effectiveDate. | Enrichment Request is specific to BetterContact and Employment to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between BetterContact and Hibob
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.
BetterContact Hibob Sub-second propagation
DetectionBetterContact notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Job-based delivery — enrichment results arrive by webhook push or polling of the results endpoint.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Hibob through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Hibob BetterContact Sub-second propagation
DetectionHibob notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events.
DeliveryBetterContact does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: BetterContact's output flows back as field updates on the originating Hibob records.
Rate-limit considerations
- BetterContact: Batches capped at 100 contacts per enrichment request.
- Hibob: Rate limits are enforced per service user; violations return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. The docs list POST /people/search at 50 requests per minute, and bulk /people/search is preferred over per-record reads.
