Why teams connect Nimble and Okta

Keep the people Nimble and Okta both track in agreement in real time: the internal users who own records in Nimble, and the customer login accounts in Okta.

A CRM and an identity system usually describe different populations. Nimble tracks customers, contacts, and the deals in motion; Okta governs who is allowed to sign in and what they can reach. Where the two meet is people. The reps who own records in Nimble are the same employees Okta provisions and disables, and when Okta also runs the login accounts for your product, the customers in Nimble are the same users Okta authenticates. Left unconnected, a departure in Okta leaves stale ownership sitting in Nimble, and a signup in Okta never reaches the account it belongs to.

Stacksync syncs Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tasks in Nimble with Group Rules, Factors (Authenticators), Policies, System Log in Okta in real time and in both directions, matching on email or an external ID and mapping field by field. You decide which system owns which fields, and new users, role and group changes, deactivations, and account status move within seconds instead of waiting on a quarterly access review or a manual export.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep deals aligned between Nimble and an accounting system so invoicing starts when a deal closes.
  • 02 Consolidate contacts from marketing tools into Nimble while writing Nimble edits back to avoid duplicates.
  • 03 Read Application assignments and Factors into a database to report on who can reach which app and which users have strong MFA enrolled.
  • 04 Drive Group Rules and policy assignments from HR attributes so access changes the moment a title, department, or location changes.

Common sync patterns

Deactivation and record hand-off

When someone is disabled in Okta, the matching user in Nimble is deactivated too, and the accounts, contacts, and deals they owned are flagged for reassignment, so nothing goes unattended after they leave.

Where Okta runs customer login accounts: identity on the customer record

Signup, account status, multi-factor enrollment, and last-login from Okta land on the matching contact or account in Nimble, so go-to-market teams see who has actually activated and who has gone dormant.

Group and entitlement membership as CRM fields

Membership of a directory group or an entitlement in Okta maps to fields in Nimble, such as product tier, plan, or internal team, so segmentation reflects real access rather than a manual guess.

What you can sync between Nimble and Okta

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.

Nimble objects Okta objects How this pairing syncs
Deals Pipeline records linked to contacts, synced to keep revenue systems aligned with sales activity Groups Okta groups (OKTA_GROUP, APP_GROUP, BUILT_IN) and their memberships; OKTA_GROUP records and membership are written to drive app and resource access. Deals is specific to Nimble and Groups to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tasks To-do items tied to contacts, mirrored into work-management tools or reporting tables Applications App integrations (SAML, OIDC, SWA) with per-user and per-group assignments; read and updated to manage which identities can reach each downstream app. Tasks is specific to Nimble and Applications to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activities Calls, events, and interaction history used for engagement reporting outside Nimble Group Rules Dynamic rules that add users to groups from profile attributes; read and written to automate access based on department, title, or location. Activities is specific to Nimble and Group Rules to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Notes Free-text records attached to contacts, replicated for a complete account timeline Factors (Authenticators) MFA enrollments per user (Okta Verify, WebAuthn, SMS, email); read for security-posture reporting and reset when a device is lost or rotated. Notes is specific to Nimble and Factors (Authenticators) to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tags Segmentation labels that map to list membership or filters in downstream systems Policies Sign-on, password, and authenticator-enrollment policies with their rules; read to audit access controls or updated to manage them centrally. Tags is specific to Nimble and Policies to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom fields Account-defined contact attributes that carry enrichment or internal identifiers System Log Immutable audit event stream of logins, admin changes, and lifecycle events; read-only, polled by timestamp and used as the change feed and SIEM source. Custom fields is specific to Nimble and System Log to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Nimble and Okta

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.

Nimble Okta Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Nimble for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on record modification timestamps.

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

Okta Nimble Sub-second propagation

DetectionOkta notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Nimble: Subject to per-account API request quotas.
  • Okta: Rate limits are enforced per org, per endpoint group, per minute and vary by Okta edition; responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Limit, X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and X-Rate-Limit-Reset headers and exceeding one returns HTTP 429. The System Log is more tightly limited (about 120 requests/minute) and a separate concurrent-request cap (default 75 in-flight transactions) also applies.
