Why teams connect Jobvite and SendGrid

Keep the people, teams, and status that SendGrid and Jobvite share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in SendGrid 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. Jobvite 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 Senders, Single Sends, Unsubscribe Groups, Email Activity in SendGrid with Application, Workflow Status, New Hire, Employee in Jobvite bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Jobvite creates or updates the matching user in SendGrid within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where SendGrid captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Jobvite 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 Stream Event Webhook engagement data into a Postgres database or warehouse for campaign and deliverability reporting
  • 02 Keep product-usage attributes from an operational database updated on SendGrid contacts to drive lifecycle segments
  • 03 Write New Hire records into an HRIS or onboarding system the moment a candidate is marked hired, driven by Jobvite's candidate hired webhook.
  • 04 Push headcount-approved Requisitions from an internal planning database into Jobvite via POST /job so approved roles post to the career site automatically.

Common sync patterns

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in Jobvite creates the matching user in SendGrid with the right team and manager already set, so people can start working without waiting on a provisioning ticket.

Offboarding: no standing access after a departure

When someone is marked as leaving in Jobvite, the matching account in SendGrid is deactivated or flagged, so departures do not leave open access behind.

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.

What you can sync between Jobvite and SendGrid

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.

Jobvite objects SendGrid objects How this pairing syncs
Application Links a candidate to one requisition with its workflow state; read for pipeline reporting and status written back through the candidate update call. Contacts Marketing recipients upserted from CRM or database records, including custom field values. Application is specific to Jobvite and Contacts to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workflow Status The pipeline stage per application (Screen, Interview, Offer, Hired); updated through POST /candidate/updateCandidates to advance records. List Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Workflow Status is specific to Jobvite and List to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
New Hire Hired-candidate records surfaced in the candidate feed and via the candidate hired webhook; commonly written into an HRIS or onboarding tool. Segments Query-based contact groups whose membership SendGrid computes from contact fields. New Hire is specific to Jobvite and Segments to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employee Employee roster pushed through POST /employee (Onboard sync), used for referral matching and internal-mobility job postings. Categories Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Employee is specific to Jobvite and Categories to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attachment Resumes, cover letters, and files attached to a candidate; synced out to object storage or a document management system. Senders Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Attachment is specific to Jobvite and Senders to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Offer Offer state tied to an application (extended, accepted, declined); read out for offer-acceptance reporting and written to downstream comp or HR systems. Single Sends One-off marketing campaigns whose stats are read back for reporting. Offer is specific to Jobvite and Single Sends to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Jobvite and SendGrid

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.

Jobvite SendGrid Sub-second propagation

DetectionJobvite notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. A candidate hired webhook, configured per customer by a Jobvite rep, POSTs to a custom URL on hire/offer-accepted events.

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

SendGrid Jobvite Sub-second propagation

DetectionSendGrid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Webhook posts delivery and engagement events (processed, delivered, open, click, bounce, spam report) to an HTTP endpoint.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Jobvite: Roughly 15 requests per minute and 850 per hour, reset at midnight Pacific, with per-endpoint daily caps (e.g. 20,000/day candidate GET/PUT, 500/day employee sync); 429 on exceed.
  • SendGrid: Subject to the platform's API rate limits; contact upserts are batched, asynchronous jobs rather than per-row writes.

How the Jobvite and SendGrid connectors work

Jobvite

Integration surface
REST API (JSON) with candidate, requisition (job), and employee feed endpoints under https://api.jobvite.com/{version}
Authentication
API key (api) and secret (sc) plus company ID (companyId), sent in request headers since Jobvite's April 1, 2024 move from URL-query to header-based auth. Credentials are provisioned per customer by Jobvite Support.
Change detection
A candidate hired webhook, configured per customer by a Jobvite rep, POSTs to a custom URL on hire/offer-accepted events; otherwise Stacksync polls the candidate and job feeds on a schedule and diffs results, since records carry no per-item modified-date filter.
