Why teams connect Okta and Seismic

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

A CRM and an identity system usually describe different populations. Seismic 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 Seismic are the same employees Okta provisions and disables, and when Okta also runs the login accounts for your product, the customers in Seismic are the same users Okta authenticates. Left unconnected, a departure in Okta leaves stale ownership sitting in Seismic, and a signup in Okta never reaches the account it belongs to.

Stacksync syncs Digital Sales Rooms, Reporting Activities, Library Content, Content Versions in Seismic with Policies, System Log, Devices, Users 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 React to ContentManager and DSR webhook events to update a database when documents are published, versioned, or expired.
  • 02 Provision and deactivate Seismic Users and User Groups from an HRIS or IdP so content access mirrors joiner, mover, and leaver changes.
  • 03 Drive Group Rules and policy assignments from HR attributes so access changes the moment a title, department, or location changes.
  • 04 Sync Groups and their memberships two-way between Okta and a database or IdP so downstream app access stays aligned with source-of-truth org data.

Common sync patterns

Where Okta governs your workforce: CRM users kept current

New employees in Okta become active users in Seismic with the right role, and group or department changes update their access and team, so the CRM's user list matches the directory without an admin re-keying it.

Deactivation and record hand-off

When someone is disabled in Okta, the matching user in Seismic 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 Seismic, so go-to-market teams see who has actually activated and who has gone dormant.

What you can sync between Okta and Seismic

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.

Okta objects Seismic objects How this pairing syncs
Users Universal Directory user records with profile attributes, credentials, and lifecycle status (staged, active, suspended, deprovisioned); full CRUD, so users are created, updated, activated, and deactivated to match an HR or identity source. Users User records managed through SCIM 2.0 and legacy user endpoints; created, updated, and deactivated for provisioning sync. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Devices Registered and managed device records tied to users; read to correlate access with device posture and to feed inventory or conditional-access reporting. Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. Devices is specific to Okta and Reporting Activities to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. Groups is specific to Okta and Library Content to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Content Versions Version history for a library item; new versions upload via API and old ones expire, with events firing on ContentManager webhooks. Applications is specific to Okta and Content Versions to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Group Rules Dynamic rules that add users to groups from profile attributes; read and written to automate access based on department, title, or location. User Groups Group definitions and membership that govern content access; synced from an IdP or HRIS to keep permissions current. Group Rules is specific to Okta and User Groups to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Teamsites Tenant-scoped workspace partitions organizing Library content, permissions, and config; scoped by teamSiteId on most content calls. Factors (Authenticators) is specific to Okta and Teamsites to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Okta and Seismic

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.

Okta Seismic 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 Seismic through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Seismic Okta Sub-second propagation

DetectionSeismic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for content, version, user, group, workflow, DSR, and LiveSend events.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Seismic: Tiered per-endpoint limits over a rolling 60-second window; exceeding returns HTTP 429, with X-Seismic-Remaining-Calls and X-Seismic-Total-Calls headers.

How the Okta and Seismic connectors work

Okta

Integration surface
REST API (Okta Management API, /api/v1) with Event Hooks for outbound events and the System Log API as the change feed
Authentication
SSWS API tokens (Authorization: SSWS {token}) scoped to the creating admin's permissions, or OAuth 2.0 for Okta service apps using a private-key-JWT client-credentials grant with granular scopes (DPoP supported)
Change detection
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 verification handshake); the System Log API (/api/v1/logs) is polled by the since parameter and the next Link header for a near-real-time change feed
Capabilities

Rate limits
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.

Seismic
