Why teams connect InfluxDB and Namely

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: InfluxDB and Namely share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Namely is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. InfluxDB is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Job Tiers, Groups, Teams, Reports in Namely need to exist as queryable Tags, Fields, Retention policies, Organizations in InfluxDB 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 Tags, Fields, Retention policies, Organizations in InfluxDB with Job Tiers, Groups, Teams, Reports in Namely field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Namely 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 Push metered usage aggregates into billing systems to drive usage-based pricing.
  • 02 Write events from operational databases or applications into InfluxDB as time-stamped points for monitoring.
  • 03 Map Job Titles and Job Tiers into a warehouse dimension table so leveling and seniority stay consistent across HR, finance, and BI reporting.
  • 04 Push Groups and Teams (departments, locations, team categories) into downstream apps to keep org structure and reporting lines aligned.

Common sync patterns

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Namely stay consistent in InfluxDB, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in InfluxDB write onto the matching record in Namely where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Namely land as queryable Tags, Fields, Retention policies, Organizations in InfluxDB, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

What you can sync between InfluxDB and Namely

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.

InfluxDB objects Namely objects How this pairing syncs
Measurements The table-like grouping for points, typically mapped to a synced dataset. Groups Departments and locations that organize Profiles; synced to keep org structure aligned with a warehouse or IdP. Measurements is specific to InfluxDB and Groups to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Points Individual time-stamped records, the unit of write via line protocol. Teams Teams and team categories a Profile belongs to; read and written for org-chart and provisioning workflows. Points is specific to InfluxDB and Teams to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tags Indexed key-value metadata used for filtering and as sync partition keys. Reports Saved Namely reports returned as JSON snapshots that update instantly; read-only feeds for headcount and roster analytics. Tags is specific to InfluxDB and Reports to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Fields The unindexed numeric or string values carried by each point. Profile Fields Metadata describing standard and company-defined custom field sections; read to discover schema and generate mappings. Fields is specific to InfluxDB and Profile Fields to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Retention policies Automatic expiry rules that determine how long synced history remains queryable. Events Home-feed items such as announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, and new arrivals; typically read-only into comms tools. Retention policies is specific to InfluxDB and Events to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Organizations Tenancy scope for tokens and buckets in multi-tenant deployments. Profiles The core employee record (personal, job, contact, and compensation fields); synced two-way via GET/POST/PUT with updated_at driving incremental polling. Organizations is specific to InfluxDB and Profiles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between InfluxDB and Namely

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.

InfluxDB Namely Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls InfluxDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling with time-range queries.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Namely through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Namely InfluxDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Namely for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to InfluxDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • InfluxDB: Subject to the platform's API rate limits on cloud plans; self-hosted deployments are bounded by hardware.
  • Namely: Namely's public docs do not publish a fixed request quota; the REST API returns standard HTTP status codes, so integrations should throttle and back off on 429/5xx responses.
