Why teams connect 6sense and Citus

Treat 6sense like part of your database: its records live in Citus as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

6sense is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Citus, so Citus always reflects the current state of 6sense — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in Citus, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Common use cases

  • Enrich inbound leads with 6sense firmographic and account-match data before routing.
  • Feed in-market account lists to sales engagement tools to start sequences automatically.
  • Consolidate per-tenant rows from distributed tables into per-customer reporting databases.
  • Sync high-volume event or tenant data from a Citus cluster into a warehouse for cross-tenant analytics.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from 6sense become tables in Citus you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Citus sync onto the matching records in 6sense, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the 6sense API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between 6sense and Citus

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.

6sense objects Citus objects
Buying Stage Scores Model-predicted stage per account, synced onto CRM records for prioritization. Views Curated projections over distributed data, often used as read-only sync sources.
Intent Signals Keyword-level research activity used to flag in-market accounts. Sequences Key generators that matter when external writes must not collide with application inserts.
People / Contacts Persona and contact data surfaced for accounts, used to build outreach lists. Distributed tables Tables sharded across worker nodes by a distribution column; the main sync target for large datasets.
Reach Scores Model scores reflecting the level and recency of outreach to an account or contact, used to prioritize follow-up. Reference tables Small lookup tables replicated to every node, synced like ordinary Postgres tables.
Accounts Company records enriched with firmographics and intent data, matched to CRM accounts. Local tables Coordinator-only tables that behave exactly like standard PostgreSQL tables.
Segments Dynamic account lists built from intent and fit criteria, read out to drive targeting. Schemas Standard Postgres namespaces used to scope what a sync user can read and write.
