Can D2L Brightspace and Jobvite sync in both directions?

Confirm two-way support with Stacksync for the records and fields you need in both systems. Access to a vendor API does not confirm that its Stacksync connector supports write-back.

What should be ready before the D2L Brightspace and Jobvite initial load?

Prepare both accounts, the selected object schemas, stable source and destination IDs, and the expected outcome. Identify the D2L Brightspace account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access. Identify the Jobvite account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access. Use the pair worksheet to record ownership and acceptance criteria.

How fast does the D2L Brightspace to Jobvite sync run?

Measure initial-load and ongoing-change latency separately. Source detection, selected objects, account limits, and destination validation determine the observed delay.

Will existing duplicates merge automatically?

No. Stacksync documents that pre-existing duplicates are not merged automatically when two-way sync begins. Review the initial dataset and matching plan before enabling it; an empty destination can simplify the first load.

How do I map D2L Brightspace fields to Jobvite?

Start with one business entity and a stable record ID. Map a small set of editable fields with compatible types, test required values and relationships, then expand after the pilot passes.

What should I do if a record fails to sync?

Check the destination error, field constraints, permissions, and current source value. The Stacksync issues dashboard supports retry and revert; retry reads current source values, so verify the intended record state before acting.

What does a D2L Brightspace and Jobvite integration cost?

Use the current Stacksync pricing page and confirm the supported implementation with the team. Scope the required objects, record volume, update frequency, initial load, and support needs when comparing a managed connector with native or custom development.

Which records should the D2L Brightspace and Jobvite pilot start with?

Start by reviewing Users in D2L Brightspace and Employee in Jobvite. Check how these records relate in your workflow, then confirm the actual fields and supported operations. Test record matching and one failed or repeated update before adding more records.

Architecture decision

Choose how to connect your systems

Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Users / Employee to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.

Stacksync managed sync

Best fit: Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
Operating responsibility: Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
Before you choose: Check record matching: Link the employment/person identity to the directory tenant and user ID; support rehires without creating duplicate accounts. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.

Native vendor integration

Best fit: A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your D2L Brightspace and Jobvite record types.
Operating responsibility: Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
Before you choose: First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Users / Employee, update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.

Custom API or workflow

Best fit: Consider explicit orchestration for the Users / Employee handoff.
Operating responsibility: Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
Before you choose: Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery.

File or scheduled snapshot

Best fit: Consider for a one-time D2L Brightspace / Jobvite migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
Operating responsibility: Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
Before you choose: Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.

Workflow reference

From a business event to the right update

Open a workflow to see its trigger, record relationships, and expected result.

Worker or employee process handoff

Starting event: A change to the selected Users or Employee record needs a defined result in the other system.

Start with D2L Brightspace Users and Jobvite Employee. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
Resolve organization, position, manager, and effective-date context before dependent changes.
Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test a future-dated joiner, a mover, and a leaver with protected-account exceptions before applying access changes.

If it fails: Reconcile effective dates before applying a delayed change; route ambiguous termination or access changes for review.

Worker lifecycle planning for Jobvite and D2L Brightspace

Starting event: A worker joins, moves, or leaves in Jobvite; a downstream process in D2L Brightspace needs the approved context.

Identify the worker and employment record represented by Candidate or Application. Retain effective dates and organizational scope.
Determine what Users or Assignments (Dropbox) represents: an operational task, a user identity, or a reporting row. Define a relationship; do not map these records as if they were the employee itself.
Require the process owner to approve any access, payroll, or account action and assign an exception owner.

Expected result: Rehires and concurrent assignments keep distinct employment context; delayed updates do not reverse a newer effective state.

If it fails: Inspect employment identity and effective dates before retrying the downstream action.

Production readiness

Test the behavior your business depends on

Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.

Users / Employee

Test case

Test a future-dated joiner, a mover, and a leaver with protected-account exceptions before applying access changes.

Expected result

The expected worker or employee relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Direction and permissions

Test case

Bring an example source record and the intended destination operation to the compatibility review. Confirm the supported route before granting write access.

Expected result

Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.

Freshness and reconciliation

Test case

Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.

Expected result

The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.

Failure recovery

Find the cause. Restore the data flow.

Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.

Rejected or repeated worker or employee change

Investigate

Inspect D2L Brightspace Users and Jobvite Employee, their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Reconcile effective dates before applying a delayed change; route ambiguous termination or access changes for review.

A record type or update is unavailable

Investigate

Check the D2L Brightspace and Jobvite connector guides, account permissions, and any operations marked On Request.

Next action

Ask the integration team to confirm a supported way to handle that record. Verify whether it needs connector configuration or a separate workflow step.

Source and destination disagree after a retry

Investigate

Compare current source values, destination validation, identity mappings, and any side effects already completed.

Next action

Stacksync issue retry reads the current source state. Decide the intended state before retrying or reverting; reconcile downstream effects separately.

Read the Stacksync issues dashboard guide for retry and revert behavior.
