Why teams connect Hibob and MarkLogic

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: MarkLogic and Hibob share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Hibob is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. MarkLogic is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Lifecycle, Documents, Named lists, People (Employees) in Hibob need to exist as queryable Collections, Semantic Triples, TDE Views, Document Metadata & Properties in MarkLogic before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Collections, Semantic Triples, TDE Views, Document Metadata & Properties in MarkLogic with Lifecycle, Documents, Named lists, People (Employees) in Hibob field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Hibob typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync curated master data from a MarkLogic data hub into operational CRMs and ERPs.
  • 02 Land document data in relational warehouses by reading TDE views as SQL rows.
  • 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

One directory of record

When a person record is added, changed, or deactivated in either system, the matching row in the other stays current, ending dual maintenance.

Reporting and analytics on current data

Lifecycle, Documents, Named lists, People (Employees) replicate into MarkLogic where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Hibob stay consistent in MarkLogic, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

What you can sync between Hibob and MarkLogic

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 MarkLogic objects How this pairing syncs
Documents Employee documents accessed under the Docs API; gated behind the Documents permission granted per service user. Documents JSON and XML documents, the primary records read from and written to the database. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
People (Employees) Core employee records with out-of-the-box and custom fields; read via POST /people/search, created and updated through the /people endpoints. TDE Views Relational projections of documents that let syncs read document data as SQL rows. People (Employees) is specific to Hibob and TDE Views to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employment Historical table of job terms, contract, and working pattern under /people/{id}/employment; full CRUD, entries keyed by effectiveDate. Document Metadata & Properties Permissions, quality, and property fragments carried with each document. Employment is specific to Hibob and Document Metadata & Properties to MarkLogic — 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. Databases & Forests Storage units that define the scope and placement of synced content. Work is specific to Hibob and Databases & Forests to MarkLogic — 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. Users & Roles Security principals that govern what an integration credential can read or write. Salaries is specific to Hibob and Users & Roles to MarkLogic — 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. Collections Named groupings used to scope which documents a sync reads or updates. Time off is specific to Hibob and Collections to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Hibob and MarkLogic

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 MarkLogic 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 applied to MarkLogic as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

MarkLogic Hibob Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MarkLogic for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction log.

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.

How the Hibob and MarkLogic 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).

Rate limits
