Why teams connect Seismic and Success Factors

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

Seismic 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 Success Factors. Success Factors 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 Reporting Activities, Library Content, Content Versions, Users in Seismic with Position, PerEmail and PerPhone, User, PerPerson in Success Factors field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Success Factors stays authoritative on roles and org structure while Seismic keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

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 Two-way sync of User and EmpJob (position, department, manager, cost center) into Postgres so provisioning, internal apps, and analytics read current org data in SQL while HR edits in SuccessFactors.
  • 04 Push new hires (PerPerson, EmpEmployment, EmpJob) into an ERP or payroll system so account, cost-center, and payroll setup fire on hire instead of manual Integration Center exports.

Common sync patterns

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

A person recorded in Success Factors, such as a candidate or applicant, can create or update the matching contact in Seismic, 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 Success Factors records a new hire, a matching user or owner is created in Seismic, 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 Success Factors, their accounts and territory assignments in Seismic update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.

What you can sync between Seismic and Success Factors

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.

Seismic objects Success Factors objects How this pairing syncs
Users User records managed through SCIM 2.0 and legacy user endpoints; created, updated, and deactivated for provisioning sync. User Core identity/User entity behind role-based permissions; a model distinct from Employee Central, synced two-way with a directory or IdP and downstream apps. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Digital Sales Rooms Buyer-facing microsites (DSRs); lifecycle and content-change events surface via webhooks, currently marked Early Access. EmpJob Effective-dated job info: position, department, manager, FTE, pay grade, cost center; the most-synced record for downstream HR and provisioning. Digital Sales Rooms is specific to Seismic and EmpJob to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. EmpCompensation Effective-dated pay and compensation; usually read into a warehouse for reporting, writable for comp updates as new dated slices. Reporting Activities is specific to Seismic and EmpCompensation to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) Org-structure master data (department, location, cost center, division); mastered elsewhere and written in, or read out to build org charts. Library Content is specific to Seismic and Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Content Versions Version history for a library item; new versions upload via API and old ones expire, with events firing on ContentManager webhooks. Position Position Management records for headcount and requisition planning; synced with an ATS or ERP to keep positions and reqs aligned. Content Versions is specific to Seismic and Position to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
User Groups Group definitions and membership that govern content access; synced from an IdP or HRIS to keep permissions current. PerEmail and PerPhone Contact sub-entities under PerPerson; synced two-way with a directory or comms system to keep worker contact data current. User Groups is specific to Seismic and PerEmail and PerPhone to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Seismic and Success Factors

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.

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

Success Factors Seismic Sub-second propagation

DetectionSuccess Factors notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on each entity's lastModifiedDateTime / lastModifiedOn (effective-dated entities require date-range handling).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Success Factors: OData calls are throttled at the tenant level (Access Limits for OData V2); large reads must be paginated (default page size 1000) via $top/$skip or paging cursors.
