Why teams connect D2l Brightspace and Outreach

Keep the people who own accounts in Outreach in step with the workforce records in D2l Brightspace, so ownership, roles, and org structure stay current in both systems, in real time and in both directions.

Outreach 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 D2l Brightspace. D2l Brightspace 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.

Stacksync syncs Users, Mailboxes, Prospects, Accounts in Outreach 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 D2l Brightspace stays authoritative on roles and org structure while Outreach keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Enroll leads in sequences automatically by writing sequence-state records when a lead crosses a scoring threshold in the warehouse.
  • 02 Pull mailing, call, and task activity into a database for engagement analytics beyond native reports.
  • 03 Provision Org Units such as course offerings and sections, then enroll learners from an operational database when a cohort or class is created upstream.
  • 04 Pull Content user progress and Quiz attempt results into a Postgres warehouse for engagement and completion analytics.

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 D2l Brightspace tracks people the business also engages: contacts stay in sync

A person recorded in D2l Brightspace, such as a candidate or applicant, can create or update the matching contact in Outreach, 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 D2l Brightspace records a new hire, a matching user or owner is created in Outreach, so a new rep can start working accounts without waiting on a manual setup ticket.
