Why teams connect Ceridian Dayforce and HubSpot

Keep the people who own accounts in HubSpot in step with the workforce records in Ceridian Dayforce, so ownership, roles, and org structure stay current in both systems, in real time and in both directions.

HubSpot 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.

Stacksync syncs Owner, Pipeline, Stages, Audit in HubSpot with Work Assignments, Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments, Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries, Employee Schedules in Ceridian Dayforce field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Ceridian Dayforce stays authoritative on roles and org structure while HubSpot keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write warehouse-computed lead and account scores back to HubSpot properties on a schedule or in near real time.
  • 02 Sync HubSpot Tickets with an internal support database to unify service reporting across channels.
  • 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 HubSpot 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 HubSpot 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 HubSpot

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 HubSpot objects How this pairing syncs
Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries Time-and-attendance punches; raw clock entries are added with POST and punches removed with DELETE, so time data flows both ways between Dayforce and scheduling or workforce tools. Stages Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Stages to HubSpot — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Audit Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Employee Schedules is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Audit to HubSpot — 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. Contact Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Contact to HubSpot — 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. Company Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Time Away From Work & Balances is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Company to HubSpot — 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. Deal Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Employee (HR / Person Details) is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Deal to HubSpot — 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.

How changes propagate between Ceridian Dayforce and HubSpot

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 HubSpot Sub-second propagation

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

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

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.
  • HubSpot: Request limits vary by subscription tier and API type.

How the Ceridian Dayforce and HubSpot 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.

Rate limits
