Why teams connect 6sense and MySQL

Treat 6sense like part of your database: its records live in MySQL 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 MySQL, so MySQL 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 MySQL, 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 Two-way sync between a MySQL application database and a CRM so operational records and sales records stay identical
  • 04 Expose SaaS objects as MySQL tables so legacy internal tools built on MySQL can read live business data

Common sync patterns

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to MySQL 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.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

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

What you can sync between 6sense and MySQL

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 MySQL objects How this pairing syncs
Buying Stage Scores Model-predicted stage per account, synced onto CRM records for prioritization. Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. Buying Stage Scores is specific to 6sense and Columns to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Intent Signals Keyword-level research activity used to flag in-market accounts. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling. Intent Signals is specific to 6sense and Primary and Unique Keys to MySQL — 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. JSON Columns Validated semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS data. People / Contacts is specific to 6sense and JSON Columns to MySQL — 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. Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. Reach Scores is specific to 6sense and Stored Procedures to MySQL — 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. Triggers An alternative change-capture mechanism when binlog access is unavailable. Accounts is specific to 6sense and Triggers to MySQL — 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. Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes. Segments is specific to 6sense and Databases (Schemas) to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between 6sense and MySQL

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 MySQL 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 MySQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

MySQL 6sense Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MySQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when.

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 MySQL records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • 6sense: Subject to the platform's API rate limits, which vary by contracted API package.
  • MySQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.
