Why teams connect Hibob and Kustomer

Keep the people who own accounts in Kustomer 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.

Kustomer 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 Tags, Notes, Customers, Conversations in Kustomer with Documents, Named lists, People (Employees), Employment 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 Kustomer keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push order and shipment records from commerce systems into Kustomer custom objects so agents answer order-status questions without switching tools
  • 02 Mirror conversations and satisfaction data into a warehouse for support analytics and agent performance reporting
  • 03 Mirror Work data (department, site, manager, title) into an org-chart or reporting warehouse for headcount and structure analysis.
  • 04 Sync Time off requests and who's-out data into a scheduling or workforce-planning database for coverage and capacity reporting.

Common sync patterns

New team members provisioned when they are hired

When Hibob records a new hire, a matching user or owner is created in Kustomer, 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 Hibob, their accounts and territory assignments in Kustomer 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 Kustomer is flagged or deactivated, so former employees do not keep CRM access after their last day.

What you can sync between Hibob and Kustomer

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.

Hibob objects Kustomer objects How this pairing syncs
Employment Historical table of job terms, contract, and working pattern under /people/{id}/employment; full CRUD, entries keyed by effectiveDate. Custom Objects (Klasses) Structured external records such as orders and subscriptions synced in to appear on the customer timeline. Employment is specific to Hibob and Custom Objects (Klasses) to Kustomer — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Work Reporting line, department, site, and title under /people/{id}/work; drives the org chart and is synced two-way to directories. Users Agent records map conversation ownership to people in other systems. Work is specific to Hibob and Users to Kustomer — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Salaries Compensation history at /people/{id}/salaries; full CRUD but gated behind the Payroll permission on the service user. Teams Team assignments support routing parity and reporting. Salaries is specific to Hibob and Teams to Kustomer — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Time off Absence requests and who's-out data via /timeoff/employees/{id}/requests and /timeoff/whosout; submit new requests and read balances. Tags Labels on conversations and customers sync for categorization and analytics. Time off is specific to Hibob and Tags to Kustomer — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lifecycle Hire, termination, and leave status changes at /people/{id}/lifecycle; read-only and the source of lifecycle webhook events. Notes Internal annotations carry context alongside synced conversations. Lifecycle is specific to Hibob and Notes to Kustomer — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents Employee documents accessed under the Docs API; gated behind the Documents permission granted per service user. Customers The central record whose timeline aggregates every interaction; external attributes sync onto it. Documents is specific to Hibob and Customers to Kustomer — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Hibob and Kustomer

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.

Hibob Kustomer 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 Kustomer through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Kustomer Hibob Sub-second propagation

DetectionKustomer notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Outbound webhooks on record events, plus polling for backfill.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Kustomer: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.

How the Hibob and Kustomer connectors work

Hibob

Integration surface
REST API (the Bob API)
Authentication
Service User credentials over HTTP Basic auth (Base64-encoded serviceUserId:serviceUserToken); permissions granted per data category (People, Payroll, Documents) in Bob admin
Change detection
Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events; the employee.updated payload flags which fields changed and Bob recommends an API call for the full record. There is no CDC stream, and deleting a table entry fires no webhook (Bob has no table-entry deletion event).
