Why teams connect DealCloud and Okta

Keep the people DealCloud and Okta both track in agreement in real time: the internal users who own records in DealCloud, and the customer login accounts in Okta.

A CRM and an identity system usually describe different populations. DealCloud tracks customers, contacts, and the deals in motion; Okta governs who is allowed to sign in and what they can reach. Where the two meet is people. The reps who own records in DealCloud are the same employees Okta provisions and disables, and when Okta also runs the login accounts for your product, the customers in DealCloud are the same users Okta authenticates. Left unconnected, a departure in Okta leaves stale ownership sitting in DealCloud, and a signup in Okta never reaches the account it belongs to.

Stacksync syncs Task, User, Deal, Company in DealCloud with Groups, Applications, Group Rules, Factors (Authenticators) in Okta in real time and in both directions, matching on email or an external ID and mapping field by field. You decide which system owns which fields, and new users, role and group changes, deactivations, and account status move within seconds instead of waiting on a quarterly access review or a manual export.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror DealCloud activities and tasks into an operational database to power internal dashboards without hitting the API on every read.
  • 02 Push portfolio and fund performance data from a warehouse into DealCloud so dealmakers see up-to-date metrics on each investment.
  • 03 Drive Group Rules and policy assignments from HR attributes so access changes the moment a title, department, or location changes.
  • 04 Sync Groups and their memberships two-way between Okta and a database or IdP so downstream app access stays aligned with source-of-truth org data.

Common sync patterns

Group and entitlement membership as CRM fields

Membership of a directory group or an entitlement in Okta maps to fields in DealCloud, such as product tier, plan, or internal team, so segmentation reflects real access rather than a manual guess.

Where a closed deal should provision access: DealCloud drives Okta

A won or activated customer in DealCloud can create or update the corresponding user or account in Okta, so provisioning starts from the CRM record instead of a separate ticket.

Where Okta governs your workforce: CRM users kept current

New employees in Okta become active users in DealCloud with the right role, and group or department changes update their access and team, so the CRM's user list matches the directory without an admin re-keying it.

What you can sync between DealCloud and Okta

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.

DealCloud objects Okta objects How this pairing syncs
User Synced with incremental and full sync. Users Universal Directory user records with profile attributes, credentials, and lifecycle status (staged, active, suspended, deprovisioned); full CRUD, so users are created, updated, activated, and deactivated to match an HR or identity source. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Deal Synced with incremental and full sync. Applications App integrations (SAML, OIDC, SWA) with per-user and per-group assignments; read and updated to manage which identities can reach each downstream app. Deal is specific to DealCloud and Applications to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Company Synced with incremental and full sync. Group Rules Dynamic rules that add users to groups from profile attributes; read and written to automate access based on department, title, or location. Company is specific to DealCloud and Group Rules to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contact Synced with incremental and full sync. Factors (Authenticators) MFA enrollments per user (Okta Verify, WebAuthn, SMS, email); read for security-posture reporting and reset when a device is lost or rotated. Contact is specific to DealCloud and Factors (Authenticators) to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Fund Synced with incremental and full sync. Policies Sign-on, password, and authenticator-enrollment policies with their rules; read to audit access controls or updated to manage them centrally. Fund is specific to DealCloud and Policies to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Investment Synced with incremental and full sync. System Log Immutable audit event stream of logins, admin changes, and lifecycle events; read-only, polled by timestamp and used as the change feed and SIEM source. Investment is specific to DealCloud and System Log to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between DealCloud and Okta

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.

DealCloud Okta Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls DealCloud for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Incremental via each entry's last-modified timestamp.

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

Okta DealCloud Sub-second propagation

DetectionOkta notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • DealCloud: API request limits apply per firm tenant; Stacksync manages throttling and retries automatically.
  • Okta: Rate limits are enforced per org, per endpoint group, per minute and vary by Okta edition; responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Limit, X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and X-Rate-Limit-Reset headers and exceeding one returns HTTP 429. The System Log is more tightly limited (about 120 requests/minute) and a separate concurrent-request cap (default 75 in-flight transactions) also applies.

How the DealCloud and Okta connectors work

DealCloud

Integration surface
REST API (DealCloud Data API v2)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client-credentials; a DealCloud administrator generates a client ID and secret in the DealCloud admin API settings and grants Stacksync the required scopes
Change detection
Incremental via each entry's last-modified timestamp; DealCloud has no universal native change-data-capture, so Stacksync polls modified rows on an interval
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
API request limits apply per firm tenant; Stacksync manages throttling and retries automatically.

Okta

Integration surface
REST API (Okta Management API, /api/v1) with Event Hooks for outbound events and the System Log API as the change feed
Authentication
SSWS API tokens (Authorization: SSWS {token}) scoped to the creating admin's permissions, or OAuth 2.0 for Okta service apps using a private-key-JWT client-credentials grant with granular scopes (DPoP supported)
Change detection
Event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time verification handshake); the System Log API (/api/v1/logs) is polled by the since parameter and the next Link header for a near-real-time change feed
Capabilities

Rate limits
Rate limits are enforced per org, per endpoint group, per minute and vary by Okta edition; responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Limit, X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and X-Rate-Limit-Reset headers and exceeding one returns HTTP 429.
