Why teams connect 6sense and Salesforce

Run 6sense and Salesforce side by side with the same accounts and contacts in both, whether they serve different teams or one is replacing the other.

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

Two CRMs in one company is more common than anyone plans for: an acquisition brings its own system, regions or business units standardize differently, or a migration is under way and both are live. In every case, some of the same companies and people exist in both systems, and every day of manual double entry pushes the copies further apart.

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 multiple Salesforce orgs into a single database for cross-org reporting after an acquisition.
  • Sync Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities bi-directionally with Postgres so engineering teams read and write CRM data with plain SQL.

Post-acquisition consolidation

Keep both CRMs accurate while the merged team decides on a target system, instead of freezing one and losing months of updates.

Migration with a parallel run

When one CRM is replacing the other, run both fully live until cutover, with no snapshot gap and no data freeze.

Divisional or regional split

Where each CRM serves a different team or region, sync just the shared accounts and contacts so handoffs and cross-sell work.

What you can sync between 6sense and Salesforce

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 Salesforce objects
Accounts Company records enriched with firmographics and intent data, matched to CRM accounts. Tasks and Events Activity records; usually read-only in syncs to feed activity reporting.
Segments Dynamic account lists built from intent and fit criteria, read out to drive targeting. Products and Price Books Catalog and pricing data; commonly mastered in an ERP and written into Salesforce.
Buying Stage Scores Model-predicted stage per account, synced onto CRM records for prioritization. Custom Objects Org-specific tables with the __c suffix; discoverable via describe metadata so field mappings can be generated.
Intent Signals Keyword-level research activity used to flag in-market accounts. Accounts Company records that anchor most syncs; typically mapped to customer tables in a database or ERP.
People / Contacts Persona and contact data surfaced for accounts, used to build outreach lists. Contacts People linked to Accounts; synced two-way with marketing, support, and warehouse person records.
Reach Scores Model scores reflecting the level and recency of outreach to an account or contact, used to prioritize follow-up. Leads Unqualified prospects; often written into Salesforce from enrichment or product-signup pipelines.
