Why teams connect Hibob and Monday

Keep the people, teams, and status that Monday and Hibob share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in Monday keeps its own list of who can use it: users, members, or agents, along with the team they sit on and whether they are still active. Hibob is the authoritative record of the same people as employees, with their department, manager, and employment status. When those two are connected only by manual account admin or a periodic export, the work tools drift: new hires wait days for access, team and manager changes never catch up, and people who have left keep standing accounts.

Stacksync syncs Users, Workspaces, Boards, Items in Monday with Named lists, People (Employees), Employment, Work in Hibob bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Hibob creates or updates the matching user in Monday within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Monday captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Hibob in whichever direction you configure.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared facts, who a person is, which team they belong to, and whether their access should be on, are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror monday.com Boards, Groups, and Subitems into a warehouse for cross-project reporting on status and timelines without CSV exports.
  • 02 Push support tickets or orders from an operational database into monday.com Items, then read status Column values back when work completes.
  • 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

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in Hibob creates the matching user in Monday with the right team and manager already set, so people can start working without waiting on a provisioning ticket.

Offboarding: no standing access after a departure

When someone is marked as leaving in Hibob, the matching account in Monday is deactivated or flagged, so departures do not leave open access behind.

One employee directory

A person's name, title, contact details, or status corrected in either system updates the other, so both sides stop maintaining separate copies of the same person.

What you can sync between Hibob and Monday

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 Monday objects How this pairing syncs
Named lists Dropdown option lists such as departments and sites used to resolve field values when mapping People records during sync. Column values Typed fields (status, date, people, numbers, connect-boards); polymorphic JSON usually written together via change_multiple_column_values. Named lists is specific to Hibob and Column values to Monday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Groups Named sections that group items inside a board; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row. People (Employees) is specific to Hibob and Groups to Monday — 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. Updates Comment and activity threads attached to items; read out into a database for reporting or written back as notes. Employment is specific to Hibob and Updates to Monday — 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 Account members referenced by people columns; read to resolve owner and assignee IDs to names and emails. Work is specific to Hibob and Users to Monday — 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. Workspaces Top-level containers that hold boards; used to scope which boards a given sync covers. Salaries is specific to Hibob and Workspaces to Monday — 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. Boards Table-like containers that hold items; each board maps to a synced table, and its columns define the field mapping. Time off is specific to Hibob and Boards to Monday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Hibob and Monday

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

Monday Hibob Sub-second propagation

DetectionMonday notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Board-scoped webhooks (create_item, change_column_value, item_deleted, and similar) for real-time events.

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.
  • Monday: Complexity-budget limits: a single query caps at 5M complexity points and ~10M points/min per user token (1M on trial/free) over a sliding 60s window.

How the Hibob and Monday 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

Monday

Integration surface
GraphQL API (single endpoint, api.monday.com/v2)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 for installed apps, or a per-user personal API token (admin/member scope); a date-based API version is sent via request header
Change detection
Board-scoped webhooks (create_item, change_column_value, item_deleted, and similar) for real-time events; polling falls back to the item updated_at field
