Why teams connect Hibob and Pipedrive

Keep the people who own accounts in Pipedrive 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.

Pipedrive 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 Notes, Pipelines, Deals, Persons in Pipedrive with Named lists, People (Employees), Employment, Work 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 Pipedrive keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync deals, persons, and organizations to a database for reporting beyond the built-in Insights views.
  • 02 Write enrichment or product usage data into Pipedrive custom fields so reps prioritize with live signals.
  • 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

Where Hibob tracks people the business also engages: contacts stay in sync

A person recorded in Hibob, such as a candidate or applicant, can create or update the matching contact in Pipedrive, so relationship history and outreach are not rebuilt from scratch when the same individual appears in both.

New team members provisioned when they are hired

When Hibob records a new hire, a matching user or owner is created in Pipedrive, 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 Pipedrive update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.

What you can sync between Hibob and Pipedrive

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 Pipedrive 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. Goals Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Employment is specific to Hibob and Goals to Pipedrive — 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. Leads Pre-pipeline inbox items; written in from forms and enrichment pipelines. Work is specific to Hibob and Leads to Pipedrive — 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. Notes Free-form context on deals, persons, and organizations; usually read-only. Salaries is specific to Hibob and Notes to Pipedrive — 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. Pipelines Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Time off is specific to Hibob and Pipelines to Pipedrive — 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. Deals Pipeline records with stage and value; the primary object for reporting and win-triggered automation. Lifecycle is specific to Hibob and Deals to Pipedrive — 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. Persons Contact records; synced with marketing tools and enriched from external data. Documents is specific to Hibob and Persons to Pipedrive — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Hibob and Pipedrive

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

Pipedrive Hibob Sub-second propagation

DetectionPipedrive notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks on per-object create, update, and delete events, with polling on update timestamps.

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.
  • Pipedrive: Request budgets vary by plan and authentication method.

How the Hibob and Pipedrive 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).
