Why teams connect Dun And Bradstreet and Paylocity

Flow Dun And Bradstreet data into Paylocity in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

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

Dun And Bradstreet 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 Paylocity. Paylocity 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.

Common use cases

  • 01 Build target-account lists with Criteria Search and land the resulting DUNS plus firmographics in a database for outbound and TAM analysis.
  • 02 Poll D&B Monitoring notifications for a registered portfolio of key accounts and suppliers and update the CRM or warehouse record whenever a firmographic or risk score changes.
  • 03 Two-way sync of Employees between Paylocity and an HRIS or identity provider so new hires, terminations, and demographic edits flow both directions.
  • 04 Push hired candidates from an ATS into Paylocity via the Onboarding endpoint, then read Onboarding Status to confirm the record before the first payroll run.

Common sync patterns

Where Paylocity tracks people the business also engages: contacts stay in sync

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

Ownership and territory follow the org chart

When a person changes team, manager, or region in Paylocity, their accounts and territory assignments in Dun And Bradstreet update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.

How changes propagate between Dun And Bradstreet and Paylocity

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.

Dun And Bradstreet Paylocity Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Dun And Bradstreet for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via D&B Monitoring - register a portfolio of DUNS and pull change notices from the notifications endpoint (retained ~60 days).

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

Paylocity Dun And Bradstreet Sub-second propagation

DetectionPaylocity notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL.

DeliveryDun And Bradstreet does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Dun And Bradstreet's output flows back as field updates on the originating Paylocity records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Dun And Bradstreet: Per-contract transactions-per-second cap plus weekly/monthly/yearly quotas; exceeding TPS returns HTTP 429 with error 0045/0046 (0047 on spike arrest). Quotas reset on UTC boundaries.
  • Paylocity: 25 requests per second (1,500 per minute); exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Every path is scoped to a Paylocity-assigned companyId (a company code, not a UUID).
