Why teams connect Gladly and Hibob

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

Gladly 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 Hibob. Hibob 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 Tasks, Customer profiles, Conversations, Conversation items in Gladly with Work, Salaries, Time off, Lifecycle in Hibob field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Hibob stays authoritative on roles and org structure while Gladly keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror conversations and topics into a warehouse for CX analytics and staffing models.
  • 02 Keep customer attributes such as loyalty tier and lifetime value synced from a warehouse into Gladly profiles for routing and prioritization.
  • 03 Push Salaries and Variable Pay from Bob into a payroll provider or warehouse each pay cycle, using the Payroll-permitted service user.
  • 04 Mirror Work data (department, site, manager, title) into an org-chart or reporting warehouse for headcount and structure analysis.

Common sync patterns

Ownership and territory follow the org chart

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

Deactivate access when someone leaves

When Hibob marks a worker as departed, the matching user in Gladly is flagged or deactivated, so former employees do not keep CRM access after their last day.

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.

Conversations is specific to Gladly and Work to Hibob — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gladly and Hibob

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.

Gladly Hibob Sub-second propagation

DetectionGladly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook event subscriptions for conversation and customer events, supplemented by polling and report exports.

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

Hibob Gladly Sub-second propagation

DetectionHibob notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Gladly: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
  • Hibob: Rate limits are enforced per service user; violations return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. The docs list POST /people/search at 50 requests per minute, and bulk /people/search is preferred over per-record reads.
