Why teams connect D2l Brightspace and Microsoft Dynamics GP

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Microsoft Dynamics GP and D2l Brightspace share in real time, so the people D2l Brightspace manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

D2l Brightspace is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. Microsoft Dynamics GP runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs Inventory Items (IV), GL Accounts & Journal Entries, Receivables & Payables Transactions, Company Databases in Microsoft Dynamics GP with Quizzes, Assignments (Dropbox), Groups and Sections, Users in D2l Brightspace field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while Microsoft Dynamics GP keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync customers and invoices between GP and a CRM so sales sees balances and billing history.
  • 02 Push web or CRM orders into Sales Order Processing through eConnect instead of manual entry.
  • 03 Pull Content user progress and Quiz attempt results into a Postgres warehouse for engagement and completion analytics.
  • 04 Sync Assignment (Dropbox) submissions and feedback into a reporting database or downstream review tool.

Common sync patterns

Where D2l Brightspace is the worker system of record: one employee master

When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in D2l Brightspace, the matching employee record in Microsoft Dynamics GP is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

New hires ready to transact in Microsoft Dynamics GP

A new person set up in D2l Brightspace becomes an employee record in Microsoft Dynamics GP in time to submit expenses, enter time, or approve a purchase, without waiting on manual setup.

One org structure

Departments, cost centers, and locations that both systems reference stay in agreement, so labor cost, approvals, and reporting in Microsoft Dynamics GP roll up to the same structure D2l Brightspace maintains.

What you can sync between D2l Brightspace and Microsoft Dynamics GP

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.

How changes propagate between D2l Brightspace and Microsoft Dynamics GP

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 Microsoft Dynamics GP 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.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Microsoft Dynamics GP as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Microsoft Dynamics GP D2l Brightspace Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Microsoft Dynamics GP are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SQL Server change tracking or log-based CDC on the company database, or polling on row timestamps.

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.
