Why teams connect Hibob and Sage Intacct

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Sage Intacct and Hibob share in real time, so the people Hibob manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

Hibob is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. Sage Intacct runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs Employees, GL Accounts, Journal Entries, Customers in Sage Intacct with Employment, Work, Salaries, Time off in Hibob field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while Sage Intacct keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Create AR invoices or Order Entry transactions from subscription and order data held in a Postgres application database.
  • 02 Replicate GL and journal detail, with full dimension tags, to a warehouse for FP&A reporting.
  • 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

Reporting lines drive approvals

Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in Hibob keep expense and purchase approval chains in Sage Intacct pointed at the right people.

Where Hibob runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from Hibob posts into Sage Intacct as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.

Where Hibob is the worker system of record: one employee master

When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Hibob, the matching employee record in Sage Intacct is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

What you can sync between Hibob and Sage Intacct

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 Sage Intacct objects How this pairing syncs
Work Reporting line, department, site, and title under /people/{id}/work; drives the org chart and is synced two-way to directories. AP Bills Payables documents written from procurement tools and OCR pipelines. Work is specific to Hibob and AP Bills to Sage Intacct — 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. Payments AR and AP payment records synced for cash application and status reporting. Salaries is specific to Hibob and Payments to Sage Intacct — 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. Order Entry Transactions Configurable sales transaction documents used as write targets for order-to-cash syncs. Time off is specific to Hibob and Order Entry Transactions to Sage Intacct — 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. Purchasing Transactions Configurable procure-to-pay documents read and written by procurement integrations. Lifecycle is specific to Hibob and Purchasing Transactions to Sage Intacct — 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. Dimensions Location, Department, Project, Class and similar tags carried on every synced transaction line. Documents is specific to Hibob and Dimensions to Sage Intacct — 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. Employees Employee records used for expense and payroll-adjacent syncs. Named lists is specific to Hibob and Employees to Sage Intacct — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Hibob and Sage Intacct

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

Sage Intacct Hibob Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Sage Intacct for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on WHENMODIFIED audit fields.

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 Sage Intacct 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).
