Why teams connect 6sense and D2l Brightspace

Flow 6sense data into D2l Brightspace in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

6sense is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into D2l Brightspace, so D2l Brightspace always reflects the current state of 6sense — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

6sense 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 D2l Brightspace. D2l Brightspace 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.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed in-market account lists to sales engagement tools to start sequences automatically.
  • 02 Sync 6sense buying stage and intent scores onto CRM accounts so sellers prioritize in-market targets.
  • 03 Provision Org Units such as course offerings and sections, then enroll learners from an operational database when a cohort or class is created upstream.
  • 04 Pull Content user progress and Quiz attempt results into a Postgres warehouse for engagement and completion analytics.

Common sync patterns

Ownership and territory follow the org chart

When a person changes team, manager, or region in D2l Brightspace, their accounts and territory assignments in 6sense update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.

Deactivate access when someone leaves

When D2l Brightspace marks a worker as departed, the matching user in 6sense is flagged or deactivated, so former employees do not keep CRM access after their last day.

One directory of people

A person's name, title, email, phone, or manager corrected in either system updates the other, so both stop maintaining separate copies of the same individual.

What you can sync between 6sense and D2l Brightspace

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 D2l Brightspace objects How this pairing syncs
Buying Stage Scores Model-predicted stage per account, synced onto CRM records for prioritization. Groups and Sections Group categories, groups, and section membership within an org unit; enrollments are read and written to keep cohort assignments aligned. Buying Stage Scores is specific to 6sense and Groups and Sections to D2l Brightspace — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Intent Signals Keyword-level research activity used to flag in-market accounts. Users User accounts in the Learning Platform (lp) component; created, read, updated, and deleted through the Valence API and typically synced two-way with an SIS or HRIS. Intent Signals is specific to 6sense and Users to D2l Brightspace — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People / Contacts Persona and contact data surfaced for accounts, used to build outreach lists. Enrollments Links between Users and Org Units; enroll/unenroll and batch-enrollment routes let rosters be written from an upstream system and read back for reporting. People / Contacts is specific to 6sense and Enrollments to D2l Brightspace — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reach Scores Model scores reflecting the level and recency of outreach to an account or contact, used to prioritize follow-up. Org Units The org structure — course offerings, sections, departments, and semesters; read for hierarchy and created/updated to provision courses from a database. Reach Scores is specific to 6sense and Org Units to D2l Brightspace — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Accounts Company records enriched with firmographics and intent data, matched to CRM accounts. Grades Grade objects, categories, schemes, and per-user grade values in the Learning Environment (le) component; values can be read out and written back onto the gradebook. Accounts is specific to 6sense and Grades to D2l Brightspace — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Dynamic account lists built from intent and fit criteria, read out to drive targeting. Content (Modules, Topics, and User Progress) Course content structure plus per-user completion; progress is read into a warehouse and topics can be created and updated via the API. Segments is specific to 6sense and Content (Modules, Topics, and User Progress) to D2l Brightspace — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between 6sense and D2l Brightspace

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.

6sense D2l Brightspace Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls 6sense for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to D2l Brightspace through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

D2l Brightspace 6sense Sub-second propagation

DetectionD2l Brightspace notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling Valence endpoints with date/bookmark filters, differential Brightspace Data Sets (BDS) bulk exports for changed rows via the Data Hub, and.

Delivery6sense does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: 6sense's output flows back as field updates on the originating D2l Brightspace records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • 6sense: Subject to the platform's API rate limits, which vary by contracted API package.
  • D2l Brightspace: Per-caller token-bucket credit scheme; each route costs credits, responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and over-quota calls return HTTP 429. D2L can adjust per-route credit costs.
