Why teams connect Firebolt and Paylocity
Land the people and organization records from Paylocity in Firebolt as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Paylocity can use them.
Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Paylocity is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Firebolt next to everything else the company measures.
Stacksync syncs Onboarding, Deductions (Pay Setup), Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes from Paylocity into tables in Firebolt continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Firebolt, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in Paylocity where the HR team acts on them. You configure which records and fields cross over, and in which direction, instead of maintaining pipeline code.
Common use cases
- 01 Keep dimension tables aligned with source systems while high-volume event data loads through separate batch pipelines.
- 02 Sync aggregated results from Firebolt back to operational tools that need computed metrics (reverse ETL).
- 03 React to the Employee Change webhook to pull the updated Employee record and propagate title, location, or manager changes to downstream apps within minutes.
- 04 Two-way sync of Employees between Paylocity and an HRIS or identity provider so new hires, terminations, and demographic edits flow both directions.
Common sync patterns
Fresh data instead of last night's load
Because changes stream continuously, reports query current workforce data rather than waiting for an overnight load window to finish.
Queryable history for planning and audit
A continuously synced copy in Firebolt gives you a durable, queryable record of how Paylocity's records change over time, for headcount planning and audit questions.
Write-back of computed values
Segments, rollups, or risk flags computed in Firebolt sync back onto the matching records in Paylocity, where the HR team sees them in the system they already use.
What you can sync between Firebolt and Paylocity
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.
| Firebolt objects | Paylocity objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aggregating indexes Precomputed rollups maintained at write time; incremental loads update them automatically. | Custom Fields Read-only company-specific custom fields returned by category, used to enrich the employee record downstream. | Aggregating indexes is specific to Firebolt and Custom Fields to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Engines Compute resources that must be running for a sync to read or write. | Employees Core HR record keyed by companyId + employeeId; two-way via Create New Employee (POST) and Update Employee (PATCH), plus Get Employee / Get All Employees for reads. | Engines is specific to Firebolt and Employees to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Databases Logical containers holding the tables a sync targets. | Onboarding Create Employee Onboarding pushes new-hire data into Paylocity's onboarding workflow; Get Onboarding Status reads back partner onboarding progress. Write-in for hires from an ATS. | Databases is specific to Firebolt and Onboarding to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tables Managed columnar tables written with SQL; the main sync destination. | Deductions (Pay Setup) Recurring deduction codes at the employee level; two-way via Upsert Deduction and Delete, with Get Deduction / Get All Deductions for reads. | Tables is specific to Firebolt and Deductions (Pay Setup) to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| External tables References to files in object storage used to stage bulk loads. | Earnings (Pay Setup) Recurring earning codes at the employee level; two-way via Upsert Earning and Delete, with Get All Earnings and Get by earning code for reads. | External tables is specific to Firebolt and Earnings (Pay Setup) to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Views Curated query surfaces commonly used as sources for reverse ETL. | Local and State Taxes Two-way via Create/Update/Delete Local Tax and Upsert Primary / Non-Primary State Tax; Get by tax code and Get All for reads. | Views is specific to Firebolt and Local and State Taxes to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Firebolt 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.
Firebolt Paylocity Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Firebolt for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Paylocity through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Paylocity Firebolt 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.
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Firebolt as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Rate-limit considerations
- Firebolt: No fixed request quota; throughput depends on the engine size attached to the workload.
- 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).

How the Firebolt and Paylocity connectors work
Firebolt
- Integration surface
- SQL over a REST API, with JDBC, Python, and Node.js SDKs
- Authentication
- Service account credentials (client ID and secret) exchanged for OAuth 2.0 tokens
- Change detection
- Polling; Firebolt is an analytics destination and does not expose a change feed
- Capabilities
- read · write
- Rate limits
- No fixed request quota; throughput depends on the engine size attached to the workload
Paylocity
- Integration surface
- REST API (v1 and v2), JSON payloads
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 client credentials via the Paylocity Identity Provider (/IdentityServer/connect/token) with the WebLinkAPI scope; access tokens expire after one hour and API access must be enabled by Paylocity for the company
- Change detection
- Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL; payloads carry only companyId and employeeId, so the receiver calls the relevant API to fetch changed values. Scheduled polling is used for objects without webhooks.

FAQ
Firebolt and Paylocity integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Firebolt and Paylocity: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Firebolt's Aggregating indexes and Engines), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Firebolt: Aggregating indexes precompute rollups at write time, which changes how incremental loads surface in query results. Paylocity: The rate limit is 25 calls per second (1,500 per minute); full-employee reads must be paged and throttled to avoid HTTP 429 errors. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Firebolt and Paylocity without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Firebolt and Paylocity records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Firebolt and Paylocity connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Firebolt–Paylocity integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Firebolt and Paylocity. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Firebolt: Polling; Firebolt is an analytics destination and does not expose a change feed. On Paylocity: Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL; payloads carry only companyId and employeeId, so the receiver calls the relevant API to fetch changed values. Scheduled polling is used for objects without webhooks. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
