Why teams connect Ceridian Dayforce and SendGrid
Keep the people, teams, and status that SendGrid and Ceridian Dayforce share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.
Each tool in SendGrid 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. Ceridian Dayforce 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.
Stacksync syncs Segments, Categories, Senders, Single Sends in SendGrid with Time Away From Work & Balances, Employee (HR / Person Details), Employment Status, Work Assignments in Ceridian Dayforce bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Ceridian Dayforce creates or updates the matching user in SendGrid within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where SendGrid captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Ceridian Dayforce in whichever direction you configure.
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 Keep product-usage attributes from an operational database updated on SendGrid contacts to drive lifecycle segments
- 02 Reconcile transactional email activity with support tickets so agents see what a customer was sent
- 03 Push new hires (Employee, Employment Status, Work Assignment) from an ATS or onboarding tool into Dayforce with POST once a candidate is hired, pre-fetching valid XRefCodes for department, position, location, and pay group.
- 04 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.
Common sync patterns
Offboarding: no standing access after a departure
When someone is marked as leaving in Ceridian Dayforce, the matching account in SendGrid 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.
Org and team structure kept current
Department, team, and reporting-line changes from Ceridian Dayforce keep the groups, queues, or projects in SendGrid assigned to the right people.
What you can sync between Ceridian Dayforce and SendGrid
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 | SendGrid objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments Compensation Summary returns pay rate and frequency for reporting; Employee Pay Adjustments are written as effective-dated records via PATCH to post pay changes back to Dayforce. | Contacts Marketing recipients upserted from CRM or database records, including custom field values. | Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Contacts to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| 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. | List Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and List to SendGrid — 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. | Segments Query-based contact groups whose membership SendGrid computes from contact fields. | Employee Schedules is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Segments to SendGrid — 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. | Categories Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Categories to SendGrid — 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. | Senders Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Time Away From Work & Balances is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Senders to SendGrid — 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. | Single Sends One-off marketing campaigns whose stats are read back for reporting. | Employee (HR / Person Details) is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Single Sends to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Ceridian Dayforce and SendGrid
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.

DetectionCeridian Dayforce notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to SendGrid 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.
- SendGrid: Subject to the platform's API rate limits; contact upserts are batched, asynchronous jobs rather than per-row writes.

How the Ceridian Dayforce and SendGrid 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.
