Why teams connect Microsoft 365 and Namely
Keep the people, teams, and status that Microsoft 365 and Namely share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.
Each tool in Microsoft 365 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. Namely 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 Contacts, OneDrive Files (driveItems), SharePoint Sites & Lists, Teams in Microsoft 365 with Events, Profiles, Job Titles, Job Tiers in Namely bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Namely creates or updates the matching user in Microsoft 365 within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Microsoft 365 captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Namely 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 Mirror calendar events into scheduling or CRM tools so meetings appear on customer timelines.
- 02 Sync SharePoint lists with operational databases so business users edit in SharePoint while systems read SQL.
- 03 Push Groups and Teams (departments, locations, team categories) into downstream apps to keep org structure and reporting lines aligned.
- 04 Feed Namely Reports as JSON into a database on a schedule for roster, turnover, and diversity dashboards without manual CSV exports.
Common sync patterns
Where Microsoft 365 routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org
When someone changes teams or managers in Namely, the queues, ownership, or approvals in Microsoft 365 update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.
Onboarding: access ready on day one
A new hire recorded in Namely creates the matching user in Microsoft 365 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 Namely, the matching account in Microsoft 365 is deactivated or flagged, so departures do not leave open access behind.
What you can sync between Microsoft 365 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.
| Microsoft 365 objects | Namely objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Groups Microsoft 365 and security groups kept aligned with org structure and access rules. | Groups Departments and locations that organize Profiles; synced to keep org structure aligned with a warehouse or IdP. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Teams Team and membership data provisioned from upstream systems. | Teams Teams and team categories a Profile belongs to; read and written for org-chart and provisioning workflows. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| SharePoint Sites & Lists List items read and written like lightweight database tables. | Job Titles Job title definitions; read and written so titles stay aligned with an HRIS, directory, or reporting dimension. | SharePoint Sites & Lists is specific to Microsoft 365 and Job Titles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Planner & To Do Tasks Task items synced with project and work-management tools. | Job Tiers Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables. | Planner & To Do Tasks is specific to Microsoft 365 and Job Tiers to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Users Entra ID user accounts synced with HR and identity systems. | Reports Saved Namely reports returned as JSON snapshots that update instantly; read-only feeds for headcount and roster analytics. | Users is specific to Microsoft 365 and Reports to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Mail Messages Exchange Online messages read for logging, archiving, or activity capture. | Profile Fields Metadata describing standard and company-defined custom field sections; read to discover schema and generate mappings. | Mail Messages is specific to Microsoft 365 and Profile Fields to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Microsoft 365 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.
Microsoft 365 Namely Sub-second propagation
DetectionMicrosoft 365 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Graph change notifications (webhooks) plus delta queries for incremental sync.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Namely through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Namely Microsoft 365 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 written to Microsoft 365 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- 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.

FAQ
Microsoft 365 and Namely integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Microsoft 365 and Namely: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Microsoft 365's Groups and Teams), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Microsoft 365 and Namely connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Microsoft 365–Namely integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Microsoft 365 and Namely. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Microsoft 365: Graph change notifications (webhooks) plus delta queries for incremental sync. On Namely: No webhooks; integrations poll GET endpoints and compare the updated_at / created_at timestamps on Profiles and related objects to detect changes. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Microsoft 365 side: Contacts, OneDrive Files (driveItems), SharePoint Sites & Lists, Teams, plus custom fields where Microsoft 365 exposes them. On the Namely side: Events, Profiles, Job Titles, Job Tiers. 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.
