Why teams connect Lusha and Paylocity

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

Lusha is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Paylocity, so Paylocity always reflects the current state of Lusha — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Each tool in Lusha 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.

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 Backfill missing phone numbers on an existing contact list stored in a database or warehouse.
  • 02 Append firmographic company data to account records before territory or scoring runs.
  • 03 Read Pay Statements and Direct Deposit allocations into a Postgres or warehouse database for labor-cost, GL, and headcount reporting in SQL.
  • 04 React to the Employee Change webhook to pull the updated Employee record and propagate title, location, or manager changes to downstream apps within minutes.

Common sync patterns

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in Paylocity creates the matching user in Lusha 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 Paylocity, the matching account in Lusha 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 Lusha and Paylocity

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.

How changes propagate between Lusha and Paylocity

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.

Lusha Paylocity Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Lusha for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Data is fetched on demand per lookup, so syncs poll or trigger enrichment when source records change.

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

Paylocity Lusha Sub-second propagation

DetectionPaylocity notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL.

DeliveryLusha does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Lusha's output flows back as field updates on the originating Paylocity records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Lusha: Lookups consume credits and are subject to the platform's API rate limits.
  • Paylocity: 25 requests per second (1,500 per minute); exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Every path is scoped to a Paylocity-assigned companyId (a company code, not a UUID).
