What the Rippling +

Insightly

 Integration Does

  • Automated account provisioning: New sales, account management, and delivery hires get Insightly accounts created automatically based on their Rippling role and department.
  • Role-based permission assignment: Insightly's permission levels map to Rippling roles, ensuring each new hire gets appropriate access without manual configuration.
  • Automated deprovisioning: When an employee is offboarded in Rippling, their Insightly access is automatically suspended or reassigned to protect CRM data.
  • SSO support: Rippling can serve as the identity source for Insightly login, simplifying access management alongside the rest of the application stack.

What Mid-Market Teams Get Wrong

  • Not differentiating delivery roles from sales roles: Insightly's dual CRM-and-project-delivery use case means access rules need to reflect role differences, not a single blanket permission level for all users.
  • Manual deprovisioning after employee departures: Without automated deprovisioning tied to Rippling offboarding, departed employees can retain CRM access for weeks, creating a real data security risk.
  • Skipping role mapping at setup: Companies that don't map Insightly's permission levels to Rippling roles end up manually assigning access for every new hire instead of relying on automated provisioning.
  • Not testing the full employee lifecycle before go-live: Provisioning often gets tested, but deprovisioning and role-change scenarios are frequently skipped, leaving gaps that surface only when an employee actually leaves or changes roles.

How thePeopleStack Configures This

We map Insightly's role and permission structure to Rippling's department and job title fields, building provisioning rules that assign new hires the correct access level automatically.

For companies using Insightly's project delivery features alongside its CRM, we configure differentiated rules for sales, account management, and delivery roles so each function gets appropriate access without over-provisioning.

We test the full provisioning and deprovisioning cycle with sample employee lifecycle events before go-live, confirming access is granted and revoked correctly at each stage.

USA & Canadian Operations Note

Insightly is common among US mid-market companies running combined CRM and project delivery workflows, particularly agencies and professional services firms.

Canadian and cross-border operations: for Canadian sales and account teams, thePeopleStack ensures Insightly user provisioning reflects the correct Rippling work location so license assignment and reporting stay accurate across US and Canadian entities.
