Why teams connect 6sense and Demandbase

Flow 6sense data into Demandbase 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 Demandbase, so Demandbase always reflects the current state of 6sense — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

6sense owns the customer relationship and the pipeline; Demandbase runs the campaigns, audiences, and outreach that fill it. The two overlap on the same people and companies — a lead in one system is a subscriber, a segment member, an event registrant, or an ad audience in the other. When that overlap is bridged by CSV exports or a nightly job, sales works from lists that no longer match reality and marketing keeps targeting people whose status has already moved on.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync 6sense buying stage and intent scores onto CRM accounts so sellers prioritize in-market targets.
  • 02 Pull segment membership into a marketing automation platform to trigger campaigns when accounts enter a segment.
  • 03 Sync Opportunities and Activities two-way so CRM deal and engagement data flows into Demandbase reporting and Demandbase-calculated insights flow back to the warehouse.
  • 04 Subscribe to Demandbase company and person change webhooks - firmographic updates, M&A, and leadership or employment changes - and land them in an operational store for real-time account alerts.

Common sync patterns

New and updated people stay in step

When a contact or lead is created or edited in either system, the matching record appears or updates in the other, so campaigns reach real people and reps see who is already being marketed to.

Where Demandbase captures engagement: activity lands on the record

Opens, clicks, form fills, event attendance, or ad responses recorded in Demandbase post back to the contact or account in 6sense, so reps see interest before they reach out.

Lead and lifecycle status agree

Status, stage, or score set in one system updates the matching record in the other, so a lead marketing is still nurturing is not worked as sales-ready, and a closed account stops receiving prospecting.

What you can sync between 6sense and Demandbase

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 Demandbase objects How this pairing syncs
Accounts Company records enriched with firmographics and intent data, matched to CRM accounts. Accounts Company/account records with firmographics, intent, and Demandbase qualification and engagement scores; exported via the Data Export API and imported or updated via the Data Import API. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in the writable direction.
Segments Dynamic account lists built from intent and fit criteria, read out to drive targeting. Company Details (B2B enrichment) Firmographics, technographics, competitors, and corporate family tree fetched by domain or name via the B2B Company Search and Details endpoints; read-only enrichment. Segments is specific to 6sense and Company Details (B2B enrichment) to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Buying Stage Scores Model-predicted stage per account, synced onto CRM records for prioritization. Change Subscriptions Company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and DB person employment subscriptions delivered as webhook alerts with a signing secret; the real-time change feed. Buying Stage Scores is specific to 6sense and Change Subscriptions to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Intent Signals Keyword-level research activity used to flag in-market accounts. Opportunities Opportunity records synced from the CRM into Demandbase; exported with calculated insights and imported or updated through the Data Import API. Read and write. Intent Signals is specific to 6sense and Opportunities to Demandbase — 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. People (Persons) Contact/person records with verified business email, title, seniority, and quality grades; fetched and matched via the B2B Contact endpoints and exported or imported. People / Contacts is specific to 6sense and People (Persons) to Demandbase — 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. Activities Engagement and custom activity records (web, campaign, intent); exported via Data Export and pushed in through the Data Import API using custom activity types. Reach Scores is specific to 6sense and Activities to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between 6sense and Demandbase

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 Demandbase 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 Demandbase through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Demandbase 6sense Sub-second propagation

DetectionDemandbase notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Subscription API webhooks - company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and person employment-change alerts to a configurable URL.

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 Demandbase records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • 6sense: Subject to the platform's API rate limits, which vary by contracted API package.
  • Demandbase: Credit-based per API call; bulk jobs accept up to 10,000 records per submission, CSV uploads up to 5GB, and result URLs stay valid 24 hours; subscription alerts page up to 5,000 entities and list endpoints up to 100 per page.
