Why teams connect Clearbit and Hibob

Flow Clearbit data into Hibob 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 Hibob, so Hibob 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 Hibob. Hibob 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 Route and score inbound demo requests using Clearbit company size and industry data synced into the CRM.
  • 02 Refresh firmographic fields on existing accounts on a schedule so segmentation stays current.
  • 03 Mirror Work data (department, site, manager, title) into an org-chart or reporting warehouse for headcount and structure analysis.
  • 04 Sync Time off requests and who's-out data into a scheduling or workforce-planning database for coverage and capacity reporting.

Common sync patterns

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.

Where Hibob tracks people the business also engages: contacts stay in sync

A person recorded in Hibob, such as a candidate or applicant, can create or update the matching contact in Clearbit, so relationship history and outreach are not rebuilt from scratch when the same individual appears in both.

New team members provisioned when they are hired

When Hibob records a new hire, a matching user or owner is created in Clearbit, so a new rep can start working accounts without waiting on a manual setup ticket.

What you can sync between Clearbit 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.

Clearbit objects Hibob objects How this pairing syncs
Reveal matches IP-to-company resolutions used to identify anonymous website traffic. Salaries Compensation history at /people/{id}/salaries; full CRUD but gated behind the Payroll permission on the service user. Reveal matches is specific to Clearbit and Salaries to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Name-to-domain lookups Company name resolution used to normalize account records before enrichment. Time off Absence requests and who's-out data via /timeoff/employees/{id}/requests and /timeoff/whosout; submit new requests and read balances. Name-to-domain lookups is specific to Clearbit and Time off to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Enrichment attributes The firmographic and technographic fields appended to destination records. Lifecycle Hire, termination, and leave status changes at /people/{id}/lifecycle; read-only and the source of lifecycle webhook events. Enrichment attributes is specific to Clearbit and Lifecycle to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Companies Firmographic profiles looked up by domain and merged into account records. Documents Employee documents accessed under the Docs API; gated behind the Documents permission granted per service user. Companies is specific to Clearbit and Documents to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Persons Individual profiles looked up by email and used to enrich contacts and leads. Named lists Dropdown option lists such as departments and sites used to resolve field values when mapping People records during sync. Persons is specific to Clearbit and Named lists to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Clearbit 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.

Clearbit Hibob Sub-second propagation

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

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

Hibob Clearbit 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.

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 Hibob records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Clearbit: Subject to plan-based API rate limits and lookup volumes.
  • 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.
