Why teams connect Hibob and Render Postgres
Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Render Postgres 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. Render Postgres is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Salaries, Time off, Lifecycle, Documents in Hibob need to exist as queryable Tables, Views, Materialized Views, Schemas in Render Postgres 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 Tables, Views, Materialized Views, Schemas in Render Postgres with Salaries, Time off, Lifecycle, Documents 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 Capture row-level changes via logical replication and propagate them to a warehouse or another database in near real time.
- 02 Serve as the operational read/write store behind internal tools while Stacksync keeps it consistent with SaaS systems of record.
- 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
Mirror people records into the database
Records maintained in Hibob land as queryable Tables, Views, Materialized Views, Schemas in Render Postgres, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.
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
Salaries, Time off, Lifecycle, Documents replicate into Render Postgres where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.
What you can sync between Hibob and Render Postgres
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 | Render Postgres objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Documents Employee documents accessed under the Docs API; gated behind the Documents permission granted per service user. | Views Saved queries exposed as read-only relations; read out to BI tools or downstream syncs without duplicating transformation logic. | Documents is specific to Hibob and Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Named lists Dropdown option lists such as departments and sites used to resolve field values when mapping People records during sync. | Materialized Views Precomputed query results refreshed on demand; read for fast reporting tables that downstream systems can consume. | Named lists is specific to Hibob and Materialized Views to Render Postgres — 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. | Schemas Namespaces that organize tables per app or environment; sync targets are scoped per schema to keep synced data isolated and tidy. | People (Employees) is specific to Hibob and Schemas to Render Postgres — 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. | Columns and Types Full Postgres type system including JSONB and arrays; field mappings preserve native types instead of flattening to strings. | Employment is specific to Hibob and Columns and Types to Render Postgres — 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. | Indexes and Constraints Primary keys, unique constraints, and foreign keys; unique keys drive idempotent upserts and conflict resolution during sync. | Work is specific to Hibob and Indexes and Constraints to Render Postgres — 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. | Tables Relational tables with full column typing; synced two-way with CRMs, ERPs, and SaaS apps so application data is queryable as plain Postgres rows. | Salaries is specific to Hibob and Tables to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Hibob and Render Postgres
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 Render Postgres 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 Render Postgres as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Render Postgres Hibob Sub-second propagation
DetectionChanges in Render Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication via WAL and replication slots for change data capture when enabled on the instance, with timestamp or cursor-based polling as the.
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.
- Render Postgres: No API rate limits — throughput is bounded by the instance's plan (CPU, RAM, connection limit); connection pooling is recommended since managed plans cap concurrent connections.

How the Hibob and Render Postgres 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).
