Why teams connect BetterContact and Success Factors

Keep the people, teams, and status that BetterContact and Success Factors 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 Success Factors, so Success Factors 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. Success Factors 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 Enrich new CRM leads with verified emails and mobile numbers as they are created, writing results back to the CRM record.
  • 02 Backfill a warehouse of contacts with waterfall enrichment across 20+ data providers.
  • 03 Write updated PerEmail, PerPhone, and User attributes back into SuccessFactors from an identity or directory system so contact data stays current.
  • 04 Two-way sync of User and EmpJob (position, department, manager, cost center) into Postgres so provisioning, internal apps, and analytics read current org data in SQL while HR edits in SuccessFactors.

Common sync patterns

Org and team structure kept current

Department, team, and reporting-line changes from Success Factors keep the groups, queues, or projects in BetterContact assigned to the right people.

Where BetterContact routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org

When someone changes teams or managers in Success Factors, the queues, ownership, or approvals in BetterContact update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in Success Factors 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.

What you can sync between BetterContact 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.

BetterContact objects Success Factors objects How this pairing syncs
Lead Finder Search Prospect discovery by people and company filters, returning enriched lead profiles. 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. Lead Finder Search is specific to BetterContact and Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) to Success Factors — 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. Position Position Management records for headcount and requisition planning; synced with an ATS or ERP to keep positions and reqs aligned. Enrichment Request is specific to BetterContact and Position to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Enriched Contact Verified work emails and mobile numbers with job title, LinkedIn profile, location, and skills. PerEmail and PerPhone Contact sub-entities under PerPerson; synced two-way with a directory or comms system to keep worker contact data current. Enriched Contact is specific to BetterContact and PerEmail and PerPhone to Success Factors — 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. 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. Company is specific to BetterContact and User to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BetterContact 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.

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

Success Factors BetterContact 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).

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 Success Factors records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • BetterContact: Batches capped at 100 contacts per enrichment request.
  • 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.
