Two-way sync
Changes in Hibob or SugarCRM instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Keep Hibob and SugarCRM in sync without custom scripts. Cut weeks of integration work, eliminate silent data drift, and give your team a single, reliable source of truth.
SugarCRM 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 Campaigns, Custom modules, Accounts, Contacts in SugarCRM with Salaries, Time off, Lifecycle, Documents 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 SugarCRM keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.
When Hibob marks a worker as departed, the matching user in SugarCRM is flagged or deactivated, so former employees do not keep CRM access after their last day.
A person's name, title, email, phone, or manager corrected in either system updates the other, so both stop maintaining separate copies of the same individual.
A person recorded in Hibob, such as a candidate or applicant, can create or update the matching contact in SugarCRM, so relationship history and outreach are not rebuilt from scratch when the same individual appears in both.
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 | SugarCRM 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. | Custom modules Modules built with Module Builder get the same REST endpoints as stock ones. | Work is specific to Hibob and Custom modules to SugarCRM — 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. | Accounts Company records, the usual join key against ERP customer masters. | Salaries is specific to Hibob and Accounts to SugarCRM — 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. | Contacts People linked to accounts, synced with marketing and support systems. | Time off is specific to Hibob and Contacts to SugarCRM — 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. | Leads Unqualified prospects that convert into contacts and opportunities. | Lifecycle is specific to Hibob and Leads to SugarCRM — 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. | Opportunities Deals with revenue line items, synced to forecasting and billing. | Documents is specific to Hibob and Opportunities to SugarCRM — 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. | Cases Support tickets kept aligned with help desk tools. | Named lists is specific to Hibob and Cases to SugarCRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
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.
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 SugarCRM through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Hibob and SugarCRM: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Hibob's Work and Salaries), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
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 SugarCRM: Polling on date_modified; server-side web logic hooks can push record events to external URLs. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
On the SugarCRM side: Campaigns, Custom modules, Accounts, Contacts, plus custom fields where SugarCRM exposes them. On the Hibob side: Salaries, Time off, Lifecycle, Documents. 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 SugarCRM: Deactivate access when someone leaves; One directory of people; Where Hibob tracks people the business also engages: contacts stay in sync. When Hibob marks a worker as departed, the matching user in SugarCRM is flagged or deactivated, so former employees do not keep CRM access after their last day.
Hibob: 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. SugarCRM: REST API with module-based endpoints. Authentication: OAuth 2.0 access and refresh tokens issued by the Sugar instance. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
