Why teams connect 6sense and IBM Informix

Treat 6sense like part of your database: its records live in IBM Informix 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 IBM Informix, so IBM Informix 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 IBM Informix, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

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 Run a two-way sync between an Informix-backed retail or POS application and a CRM so store data reaches go-to-market teams.
  • 04 Keep embedded or edge Informix instances aligned with a central operational database.

Common sync patterns

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in 6sense arrive as row changes in IBM Informix, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

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

Product events onto CRM records

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

What you can sync between 6sense and IBM Informix

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 IBM Informix objects How this pairing syncs
Reach Scores Model scores reflecting the level and recency of outreach to an account or contact, used to prioritize follow-up. Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Reach Scores is specific to 6sense and Tables to IBM Informix — 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. Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Accounts is specific to 6sense and Rows to IBM Informix — 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. Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Segments is specific to 6sense and Views to IBM Informix — 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. TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Buying Stage Scores is specific to 6sense and TimeSeries objects to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Intent Signals Keyword-level research activity used to flag in-market accounts. Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Intent Signals is specific to 6sense and Stored procedures to IBM Informix — 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. Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. People / Contacts is specific to 6sense and Logical logs to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between 6sense and IBM Informix

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 IBM Informix 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 applied to IBM Informix as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

IBM Informix 6sense Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Informix are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Informix's Change Data Capture API reading committed changes from logical logs.

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 IBM Informix records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • 6sense: Subject to the platform's API rate limits, which vary by contracted API package.
  • IBM Informix: Bounded by server resources and session limits rather than an API quota.
