Why teams connect Affinity and Anthropic

Flow Anthropic data into Affinity in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

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

Anthropic turns data into something a revenue team can act on: scores, classifications, summaries, and embeddings. But the customers those results describe live in Affinity, where reps and marketers actually work. Intelligence that stays inside Anthropic rarely reaches the record where a decision gets made, and Anthropic is only as sharp as the data it sees, which is also held in Affinity.

Because the mapping is field-level, you choose exactly which attributes cross and in which direction, so Affinity stays the record of the customer while Anthropic stays where the computation happens.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync the Cost Report into a finance database or FinOps tool for daily AI-spend reporting alongside other vendor costs.
  • 02 Mirror Organization Members and their roles into an IdP or HR database to audit who can access which workspace.
  • 03 Push enrichment data computed elsewhere into Affinity field values on list entries.
  • 04 Keep introductions and relationship data from Affinity aligned with outreach tools used by the team.

Common sync patterns

Where Anthropic summarizes or drafts: text where reps read it

Summaries, next steps, or drafted messages generated in Anthropic write back onto the account or deal in Affinity, next to the relationship they describe.

Where Anthropic enriches people or companies: fields fill in

Enriched attributes from Anthropic populate contact and company fields in Affinity, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

Where Anthropic scores or ranks records: results on the CRM record

Lead scores, fit ratings, or priority computed in Anthropic land as fields on the matching contact or account in Affinity, so reps sort and act on them without leaving the CRM.

What you can sync between Affinity and Anthropic

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.

Affinity objects Anthropic objects How this pairing syncs
Field Values Custom field data, either global or scoped to a list, mapped field-by-field in syncs. API Keys Key metadata — name, owning workspace, status, creator — from /v1/organizations/api_keys; the secret value is never returned. Read-only, useful for a security key inventory. Field Values is specific to Affinity and API Keys to Anthropic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Notes Meeting and call notes synced for record-keeping in other systems. Invites Pending organization invitations from /v1/organizations/invites; read to track who has been invited to the org but has not yet accepted. Notes is specific to Affinity and Invites to Anthropic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Interactions Automatically captured emails and meetings, read for activity reporting. Message Batches Asynchronous batch jobs at /v1/messages/batches; the connector polls processing_status and reads per-request results keyed by custom_id once a batch has ended. Interactions is specific to Affinity and Message Batches to Anthropic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reminders Follow-up tasks associated with people and organizations. Models Claude model catalog from /v1/models with model IDs, context window, max output, and capability flags; snapshotted into a config table so applications avoid hardcoding model IDs. Reminders is specific to Affinity and Models to Anthropic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lists Pipelines (deal flow, fundraising, portfolio) that structure most Affinity data; syncs usually target a specific list. Usage Report (messages) Time-bucketed token usage (uncached input, cached input, cache creation, output) grouped by workspace, model, API key, and service tier from /v1/organizations/usage_report/messages; read-only, queried by date range at 1m/1h/1d bucket width. Lists is specific to Affinity and Usage Report (messages) to Anthropic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
List Entries The membership of a person, organization, or opportunity on a list, carrying its list-specific fields. Cost Report Daily USD cost broken down by workspace, model, and cost type from /v1/organizations/cost_report; read-only, polled by date range for chargeback and FinOps reporting. List Entries is specific to Affinity and Cost Report to Anthropic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Affinity and Anthropic

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.

Affinity Anthropic Sub-second propagation

DetectionAffinity notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, supplemented by polling.

DeliveryAnthropic does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Anthropic's output flows back as field updates on the originating Affinity records.

Anthropic Affinity Interval-based propagation

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Affinity: Subject to the platform's published API rate limits.
  • Anthropic: Messages API limits are per usage tier: requests-per-minute plus input- and output-tokens-per-minute, surfaced in anthropic-ratelimit-* response headers with retry-after on 429. Usage/cost reports recommend polling at most once per minute.

REST — Messages API at api.anthropic.com/v1 plus the Admin API (/v1/organizations/*) for organization, usage, and cost data
Authentication
API key in the x-api-key header for Messages, Models, Files, and Batches endpoints; the Admin API requires a separate Admin API key (sk-ant-admin...) with organization-admin permission. Every request also sends an anthropic-version header.
Change detection
Polling. Usage and cost reports are queried by time bucket (1m/1h/1d) over a date range; list endpoints paginate with has_more/next_page (or after_id). No general-purpose data-change webhooks (webhooks exist only for Managed Agents session state).
