Why teams connect Paylocity and Zoho SalesIQ

Keep the people who own accounts in Zoho SalesIQ in step with the workforce records in Paylocity, so ownership, roles, and org structure stay current in both systems, in real time and in both directions.

Zoho SalesIQ runs on people as much as on accounts: every contact, deal, and account has an owner, and those owners are employees whose roles, teams, and status are held in Paylocity. Paylocity is the system of record for the workforce, from new hires to promotions to departures, and often for the candidates the business is still deciding on. When the two systems are connected only by re-keying or an overnight export, they drift apart, and the CRM ends up assigning accounts to people who have left, holding territories that no longer match the org chart, and waiting days to give a new rep access.

Stacksync syncs Contacts (People), Companies, Operators, Departments in Zoho SalesIQ with Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes, Direct Deposit, Pay Statements in Paylocity field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Paylocity stays authoritative on roles and org structure while Zoho SalesIQ keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync SalesIQ conversations and visitor details into a CRM so reps see chat history on the contact record.
  • 02 Push chat-qualified leads into an outbound or marketing platform automatically.
  • 03 Upsert recurring Deductions and Earnings on employee records when benefits or 401(k) elections change in a benefits admin system, without re-keying payroll setup.
  • 04 Read Pay Statements and Direct Deposit allocations into a Postgres or warehouse database for labor-cost, GL, and headcount reporting in SQL.

Common sync patterns

Where Paylocity tracks people the business also engages: contacts stay in sync

A person recorded in Paylocity, such as a candidate or applicant, can create or update the matching contact in Zoho SalesIQ, so relationship history and outreach are not rebuilt from scratch when the same individual appears in both.

New team members provisioned when they are hired

When Paylocity records a new hire, a matching user or owner is created in Zoho SalesIQ, so a new rep can start working accounts without waiting on a manual setup ticket.

Ownership and territory follow the org chart

When a person changes team, manager, or region in Paylocity, their accounts and territory assignments in Zoho SalesIQ update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.

How the Paylocity and Zoho SalesIQ connectors work

Paylocity

Integration surface
REST API (v1 and v2), JSON payloads
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client credentials via the Paylocity Identity Provider (/IdentityServer/connect/token) with the WebLinkAPI scope; access tokens expire after one hour and API access must be enabled by Paylocity for the company
Change detection
Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL; payloads carry only companyId and employeeId, so the receiver calls the relevant API to fetch changed values. Scheduled polling is used for objects without webhooks.
