Why teams connect Ceridian Dayforce and Clearbit

Flow Clearbit data into Ceridian Dayforce in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

Clearbit is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Ceridian Dayforce, so Ceridian Dayforce always reflects the current state of Clearbit — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Clearbit 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 Ceridian Dayforce. Ceridian Dayforce 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.

Common use cases

  • 01 Enrich new CRM leads with person and company attributes as they are created, keyed by email and domain.
  • 02 Append technographic fields to account records in the warehouse for ICP scoring models.
  • 03 React to Dayforce Event Notifications for hire, rehire, and terminate to provision or disable IdP and app access and update downstream records as the changes post.
  • 04 Replicate Compensation Summary and pay data into a warehouse for headcount, labor-cost, and compensation reporting without manual BI exports.

Common sync patterns

Ownership and territory follow the org chart

When a person changes team, manager, or region in Ceridian Dayforce, their accounts and territory assignments in Clearbit update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.

Deactivate access when someone leaves

When Ceridian Dayforce marks a worker as departed, the matching user in Clearbit is flagged or deactivated, so former employees do not keep CRM access after their last day.

One directory of people

A person's name, title, email, phone, or manager corrected in either system updates the other, so both stop maintaining separate copies of the same individual.

What you can sync between Ceridian Dayforce and Clearbit

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.

Ceridian Dayforce objects Clearbit objects How this pairing syncs
Employee Schedules Shift and schedule assignments; created and updated through POST and PATCH schedule endpoints and paged with pageSize, used to push schedules from a WFM tool or pull them for analytics. Companies Firmographic profiles looked up by domain and merged into account records. Employee Schedules is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Companies to Clearbit — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions Configuration reference data; POST creates org units and departments and PATCH updates job, position, department, and org-unit data. Used to resolve and validate XRefCodes when mapping employee writes. Persons Individual profiles looked up by email and used to enrich contacts and leads. Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Persons to Clearbit — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Time Away From Work & Balances Time-off requests and accrual balances read per employee; pulled into scheduling, payroll, or absence-reporting databases and used to reconcile leave against downstream systems. Reveal matches IP-to-company resolutions used to identify anonymous website traffic. Time Away From Work & Balances is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Reveal matches to Clearbit — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employee (HR / Person Details) Core worker record keyed by XRefCode; GET Employees returns matching XRefCodes, then a per-employee GET fetches full HR details. New hires are added with POST and edits made with PATCH, so it is read and write. Name-to-domain lookups Company name resolution used to normalize account records before enrichment. Employee (HR / Person Details) is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Name-to-domain lookups to Clearbit — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employment Status Effective-dated employment status and type (active, leave, terminated) that drives active/terminated state for downstream provisioning; read, and writable as new dated status records. Enrichment attributes The firmographic and technographic fields appended to destination records. Employment Status is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Enrichment attributes to Clearbit — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ceridian Dayforce and Clearbit

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.

Ceridian Dayforce Clearbit Sub-second propagation

DetectionCeridian Dayforce notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.

DeliveryClearbit does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Clearbit's output flows back as field updates on the originating Ceridian Dayforce records.

Clearbit Ceridian Dayforce Sub-second propagation

DetectionClearbit notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. On-demand lookups.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Ceridian Dayforce through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ceridian Dayforce: Dayforce does not publish numeric rate limits; thresholds vary by tenant and exceeding them returns HTTP 429, so large employee reads are paged (pageSize) and throttled with backoff. Employee list calls return XRefCodes only, so each employee needs a follow-up GET.
  • Clearbit: Subject to plan-based API rate limits and lookup volumes.

How the Ceridian Dayforce and Clearbit connectors work

Ceridian Dayforce

Integration surface
REST API (Dayforce RESTful Web Services, v1/v2), JSON payloads
Authentication
HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated Web Services user plus the client namespace (Company ID), or an OAuth 2.0 access token from the Dayforce identity endpoint (POST dfid.dayforcehcm.com/connect/token, client_id Dayforce.HCMAnywhere.Client). Token-based auth is recommended, and the Web Services role with the Read Data subfeature must be enabled on the account.
Change detection
No CDC stream. Broad change detection uses delta polling on GET Employees with filterUpdatedStartDate/filterUpdatedEndDate and filterUpdatedEntities to pull only records changed in a window. Dayforce also has native Event Notifications (the Notification Publisher) for lifecycle events — hire, rehire, terminate, and workflow validation — delivered by push to a receiver service or by querying unacknowledged notifications; the publisher runs roughly hourly and each notification must be acknowledged.
