Why teams connect Lemlist and Paylocity

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

Each tool in Lemlist 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. Paylocity 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 Campaigns, Leads, Activities, Unsubscribes in Lemlist with Custom Fields, Employees, Onboarding, Deductions (Pay Setup) in Paylocity bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Paylocity creates or updates the matching user in Lemlist within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Lemlist captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Paylocity 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 Stop or pause sequences automatically when a reply converts to a deal in the CRM
  • 02 Mirror campaign performance data into BI tools for outbound reporting across senders
  • 03 Push hired candidates from an ATS into Paylocity via the Onboarding endpoint, then read Onboarding Status to confirm the record before the first payroll run.
  • 04 Upsert recurring Deductions and Earnings on employee records when benefits or 401(k) elections change in a benefits admin system, without re-keying payroll setup.

Common sync patterns

Offboarding: no standing access after a departure

When someone is marked as leaving in Paylocity, the matching account in Lemlist 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.

Org and team structure kept current

Department, team, and reporting-line changes from Paylocity keep the groups, queues, or projects in Lemlist assigned to the right people.
