Why teams connect Success Factors and Supabase

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Supabase and Success Factors share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Success Factors 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: PerEmail and PerPhone, User, PerPerson, EmpEmployment in Success Factors need to exist as queryable Database Functions, Storage Object Metadata, Tables, Views 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 Database Functions, Storage Object Metadata, Tables, Views in Supabase with PerEmail and PerPhone, User, PerPerson, EmpEmployment in Success Factors field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Success Factors 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 Push product events captured in Supabase Postgres to marketing tools for lifecycle campaigns
  • 02 Consolidate Supabase project data into a warehouse for analytics while keeping the app database as the system of record
  • 03 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.
  • 04 Replicate EmpCompensation and EmpJob effective-dated history into a warehouse for headcount, attrition, and compensation reporting without CSV pulls.

Common sync patterns

Reporting and analytics on current data

PerEmail and PerPhone, User, PerPerson, EmpEmployment 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 Success Factors 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 Success Factors where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

What you can sync between Success Factors 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.

Success Factors objects Supabase objects How this pairing syncs
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. Schemas Namespaces (public and custom) that scope sync access. Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) is specific to Success Factors and Schemas to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Position Position Management records for headcount and requisition planning; synced with an ATS or ERP to keep positions and reqs aligned. auth.users Managed authentication users, often mirrored into CRM or support systems. Position is specific to Success Factors and auth.users to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
PerEmail and PerPhone Contact sub-entities under PerPerson; synced two-way with a directory or comms system to keep worker contact data current. Row Level Security Policies Row-level access rules that govern what the REST layer exposes. PerEmail and PerPhone is specific to Success Factors and Row Level Security Policies to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads such as event properties or nested objects. User is specific to Success Factors and JSONB Columns to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
PerPerson Person-level container in Employee Central holding biographical data; effective-dated child entities (PerPersonal, PerEmail, PerPhone) hang off it. Database Functions Postgres functions that can transform or validate synced rows. PerPerson is specific to Success Factors and Database Functions to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
EmpEmployment Employment record tying a person to an employment period (hire, service dates); carries lastModifiedDateTime used for incremental polling. Storage Object Metadata File metadata rows that can be joined to synced application data. EmpEmployment is specific to Success Factors and Storage Object Metadata to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Success Factors 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.

Success Factors Supabase 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 applied to Supabase as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

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

Rate-limit considerations

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

How the Success Factors and Supabase connectors work

Success Factors

OData V2 and V4 REST APIs (plus legacy SFAPI / Compound Employee SOAP API)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 SAML Bearer Assertion — register an OAuth client for an API key (used as client_id), then exchange a signed SAML assertion for a short-lived access token; legacy HTTP Basic auth is being retired
Change detection
Polling on each entity's lastModifiedDateTime / lastModifiedOn (effective-dated entities require date-range handling); Intelligent Services can also push a fixed set of standard business events (e.g. Employee Hire) to a REST endpoint
