Why teams connect D2l Brightspace and Lusha

Keep the people, teams, and status that Lusha and D2l Brightspace share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Lusha is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into D2l Brightspace, so D2l Brightspace always reflects the current state of Lusha — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Each tool in Lusha 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. D2l Brightspace 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.

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 Backfill missing phone numbers on an existing contact list stored in a database or warehouse.
  • 02 Append firmographic company data to account records before territory or scoring runs.
  • 03 Two-way sync of Users and Enrollments between Brightspace and an SIS or HRIS so new learners and their course rosters stay aligned without manual CSV imports.
  • 04 Write Grades reconciled in a warehouse back onto Brightspace grade objects, and read grade values out for transcript and completion reporting.

Common sync patterns

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 D2l Brightspace keep the groups, queues, or projects in Lusha assigned to the right people.

Where Lusha routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org

When someone changes teams or managers in D2l Brightspace, the queues, ownership, or approvals in Lusha update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.

What you can sync between D2l Brightspace and Lusha

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.

D2l Brightspace objects Lusha objects How this pairing syncs
Users User accounts in the Learning Platform (lp) component; created, read, updated, and deleted through the Valence API and typically synced two-way with an SIS or HRIS. Person Profiles Contact-level enrichment results (work emails, phone numbers, title, company) returned per lookup. Users is specific to D2l Brightspace and Person Profiles to Lusha — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Enrollments Links between Users and Org Units; enroll/unenroll and batch-enrollment routes let rosters be written from an upstream system and read back for reporting. Company Profiles Firmographic records (industry, size, location) appended to account or company rows. Enrollments is specific to D2l Brightspace and Company Profiles to Lusha — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Org Units The org structure — course offerings, sections, departments, and semesters; read for hierarchy and created/updated to provision courses from a database. Email Addresses Work emails written into CRM contact fields during enrichment. Org Units is specific to D2l Brightspace and Email Addresses to Lusha — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Grades Grade objects, categories, schemes, and per-user grade values in the Learning Environment (le) component; values can be read out and written back onto the gradebook. Phone Numbers Direct-dial and mobile numbers appended for outbound calling workflows. Grades is specific to D2l Brightspace and Phone Numbers to Lusha — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Content (Modules, Topics, and User Progress) Course content structure plus per-user completion; progress is read into a warehouse and topics can be created and updated via the API. Prospecting Results Search-based lists of people and companies matching filters, used to seed lead lists. Content (Modules, Topics, and User Progress) is specific to D2l Brightspace and Prospecting Results to Lusha — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Quizzes Quiz objects and per-user attempts and results; attempt data is read out for engagement and completion analytics. Bulk Enrichment Requests Batch lookups that enrich multiple records per request, used to backfill large contact lists rather than one-off calls. Quizzes is specific to D2l Brightspace and Bulk Enrichment Requests to Lusha — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between D2l Brightspace and Lusha

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.

D2l Brightspace Lusha Sub-second propagation

DetectionD2l Brightspace notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling Valence endpoints with date/bookmark filters, differential Brightspace Data Sets (BDS) bulk exports for changed rows via the Data Hub, and.

DeliveryLusha does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Lusha's output flows back as field updates on the originating D2l Brightspace records.

Lusha D2l Brightspace Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Lusha for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Data is fetched on demand per lookup, so syncs poll or trigger enrichment when source records change.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to D2l Brightspace through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • D2l Brightspace: Per-caller token-bucket credit scheme; each route costs credits, responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and over-quota calls return HTTP 429. D2L can adjust per-route credit costs.
  • Lusha: Lookups consume credits and are subject to the platform's API rate limits.
