Why teams connect Hibob and Quip
Keep the people, teams, and status that Quip 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 Quip 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 Messages, Users, Blobs, Documents in Quip with Documents, Named lists, People (Employees), Employment in Hibob bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Hibob creates or updates the matching user in Quip within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Quip 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 Sync Folders and their membership with an identity or HR source so team spaces track org structure.
- 02 Post a new_message into a linked Quip thread when a record changes in a CRM or ticketing system, notifying the account team where they plan.
- 03 Sync Time off requests and who's-out data into a scheduling or workforce-planning database for coverage and capacity reporting.
- 04 Two-way sync People (employee) profiles and Work records with a Postgres database so internal apps and directories read profiles in SQL while HR corrections flow back into Bob.
Common sync patterns
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.
Org and team structure kept current
Department, team, and reporting-line changes from Hibob keep the groups, queues, or projects in Quip assigned to the right people.
Where Quip routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org
When someone changes teams or managers in Hibob, the queues, ownership, or approvals in Quip update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.
What you can sync between Hibob and Quip
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 | Quip objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Documents Employee documents accessed under the Docs API; gated behind the Documents permission granted per service user. | Documents Editable rich-text threads addressed by ID; created and updated over REST via HTML or Markdown sections, with an updated_usec timestamp used to detect edits. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Employment Historical table of job terms, contract, and working pattern under /people/{id}/employment; full CRUD, entries keyed by effectiveDate. | Folders Private, Shared, and Group containers that organize threads; membership is added or removed via the folders endpoints for access control. | Employment is specific to Hibob and Folders to Quip — 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. | Messages Comments and chat posts on a thread; the most recent are read with get_messages and new ones written with new_message. | Work is specific to Hibob and Messages to Quip — 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 Member records read individually or via contacts; get_authenticated_user identifies the token owner. Used read-only for directory-style syncs. | Salaries is specific to Hibob and Users to Quip — 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. | Blobs Images and file attachments stored per thread; downloaded with get_blob and uploaded with put_blob against a specific thread ID. | Time off is specific to Hibob and Blobs to Quip — 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. | Spreadsheets Live-spreadsheet threads; rows and cells are read and written through add_to_spreadsheet and update_spreadsheet_row helpers on the same thread endpoints. | Lifecycle is specific to Hibob and Spreadsheets to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Hibob and Quip
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 Quip 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 Quip through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Quip Hibob Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Quip for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on thread updated_usec timestamps — get_recent_threads paginates by max_updated_usec.
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.
- Quip: Automation API allows roughly 50 requests per minute per access token; exceeding it returns HTTP 503, and responses carry X-RateLimit headers.

How the Hibob and Quip 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).

FAQ
Hibob and Quip integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Hibob and Quip: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Hibob's Documents and Employment), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Hibob and Quip. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Hibob: 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). On Quip: Polling on thread updated_usec timestamps — get_recent_threads paginates by max_updated_usec; there is no change-data-capture and no outbound change webhook. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Quip side: Messages, Users, Blobs, Documents, plus custom fields where Quip exposes them. On the Hibob side: Documents, Named lists, People (Employees), Employment. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
-
Common patterns for Hibob and Quip: One employee directory; Org and team structure kept current; Where Quip routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org. 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.
