Why teams connect Clearbit and Namely

Flow Clearbit data into Namely 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 Namely, so Namely 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 Namely. Namely 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 Refresh firmographic fields on existing accounts on a schedule so segmentation stays current.
  • 02 Enrich new CRM leads with person and company attributes as they are created, keyed by email and domain.
  • 03 Feed Namely Reports as JSON into a database on a schedule for roster, turnover, and diversity dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • 04 Provision or deprovision accounts in an IdP or directory when a Profile's user_status or start_date changes, and write the resulting user ID and email back onto the Profile.

Common sync patterns

Ownership and territory follow the org chart

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

Deactivate access when someone leaves

When Namely 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 Clearbit and Namely

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 Namely objects How this pairing syncs
Persons Individual profiles looked up by email and used to enrich contacts and leads. Profile Fields Metadata describing standard and company-defined custom field sections; read to discover schema and generate mappings. Persons is specific to Clearbit and Profile Fields to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reveal matches IP-to-company resolutions used to identify anonymous website traffic. Events Home-feed items such as announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, and new arrivals; typically read-only into comms tools. Reveal matches is specific to Clearbit and Events to Namely — 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. Profiles The core employee record (personal, job, contact, and compensation fields); synced two-way via GET/POST/PUT with updated_at driving incremental polling. Name-to-domain lookups is specific to Clearbit and Profiles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Enrichment attributes The firmographic and technographic fields appended to destination records. Job Titles Job title definitions; read and written so titles stay aligned with an HRIS, directory, or reporting dimension. Enrichment attributes is specific to Clearbit and Job Titles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Companies Firmographic profiles looked up by domain and merged into account records. Job Tiers Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables. Companies is specific to Clearbit and Job Tiers to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Clearbit and Namely

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 Namely Sub-second propagation

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

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

Namely Clearbit Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Namely for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks.

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 Namely records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Clearbit: Subject to plan-based API rate limits and lookup volumes.
  • Namely: Namely's public docs do not publish a fixed request quota; the REST API returns standard HTTP status codes, so integrations should throttle and back off on 429/5xx responses.
