Why teams connect Namely and Supabase

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Supabase 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. Supabase is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Job Titles, Job Tiers, Groups, Teams in Namely need to exist as queryable Row Level Security Policies, JSONB Columns, Database Functions, Storage Object Metadata in Supabase 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 Row Level Security Policies, JSONB Columns, Database Functions, Storage Object Metadata in Supabase with Job Titles, Job Tiers, Groups, Teams 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 Reflect auth.users state into support and CRM systems so teams see account status without querying the database
  • 02 Push product events captured in Supabase Postgres to marketing tools for lifecycle campaigns
  • 03 Feed Namely Reports as JSON into a database on a schedule for roster, turnover, and diversity dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • 04 Provision or deprovision accounts in an IdP or directory when a Profile's user_status or start_date changes, and write the resulting user ID and email back onto the Profile.

Common sync patterns

Reporting and analytics on current data

Job Titles, Job Tiers, Groups, Teams replicate into Supabase where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

Org and structure stay aligned

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

Computed and operational fields flow back

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

What you can sync between Namely and Supabase

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.

Namely objects Supabase objects How this pairing syncs
Profiles The core employee record (personal, job, contact, and compensation fields); synced two-way via GET/POST/PUT with updated_at driving incremental polling. Row Level Security Policies Row-level access rules that govern what the REST layer exposes. Profiles is specific to Namely and Row Level Security Policies to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Job Titles Job title definitions; read and written so titles stay aligned with an HRIS, directory, or reporting dimension. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads such as event properties or nested objects. Job Titles is specific to Namely and JSONB Columns to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Job Tiers Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables. Database Functions Postgres functions that can transform or validate synced rows. Job Tiers is specific to Namely and Database Functions to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups Departments and locations that organize Profiles; synced to keep org structure aligned with a warehouse or IdP. Storage Object Metadata File metadata rows that can be joined to synced application data. Groups is specific to Namely and Storage Object Metadata to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Teams Teams and team categories a Profile belongs to; read and written for org-chart and provisioning workflows. Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target. Teams is specific to Namely and Tables to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reports Saved Namely reports returned as JSON snapshots that update instantly; read-only feeds for headcount and roster analytics. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Reports is specific to Namely and Views to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Namely and Supabase

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.

Namely Supabase 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 Supabase as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Supabase Namely Sub-second propagation

DetectionSupabase pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Log-based CDC via Postgres logical replication, the same WAL feed that powers Supabase Realtime.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Namely 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.
  • Supabase: SQL access is bounded by connection limits (pooled connections are provided); the REST layer is subject to the platform's limits.

REST API (JSON over HTTPS)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 authorization-code grant, or a personal access token sent as a Bearer token; all calls run over HTTPS against https://{subdomain}.namely.com/api/v1
Change detection
No webhooks; integrations poll GET endpoints and compare the updated_at / created_at timestamps on Profiles and related objects to detect changes
