Why teams connect Affinity and Azure OpenAI

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

Azure OpenAI 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 Azure OpenAI — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Azure OpenAI 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 Azure OpenAI rarely reaches the record where a decision gets made, and Azure OpenAI 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 Azure OpenAI stays where the computation happens.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync the Deployments inventory (model, version, TPM capacity) into Postgres so platform teams track every Azure OpenAI deployment across subscriptions in SQL.
  • 02 Land Fine-tuning jobs with their status, base model, and result Files in a warehouse to power MLOps dashboards without per-viewer API calls.
  • 03 Sync notes and reminders into project or task systems used outside the deal team.
  • 04 Mirror deal-flow lists into a warehouse or BI tool for pipeline and portfolio reporting.

Common sync patterns

Where Azure OpenAI summarizes or drafts: text where reps read it

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

Where Azure OpenAI enriches people or companies: fields fill in

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

Where Azure OpenAI scores or ranks records: results on the CRM record

Lead scores, fit ratings, or priority computed in Azure OpenAI 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 Azure OpenAI

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 Azure OpenAI objects How this pairing syncs
Lists Pipelines (deal flow, fundraising, portfolio) that structure most Affinity data; syncs usually target a specific list. Deployments Named model deployments (model, version, SKU, assigned TPM capacity) read as a control-plane inventory via Azure Resource Manager; read-only in sync. Lists is specific to Affinity and Deployments to Azure OpenAI — 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. Models Catalog of base and fine-tunable models available per region; read-only reference data used to resolve deployment and fine-tuning targets. List Entries is specific to Affinity and Models to Azure OpenAI — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Persons Contact records enriched with relationship intelligence, synced with CRMs and outreach tools. Fine-tuning jobs Training jobs with status, base model, hyperparameters, and result files; status is polled from queued through succeeded or failed. Persons is specific to Affinity and Fine-tuning jobs to Azure OpenAI — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Organizations Company records matched to accounts in other systems by domain. Files Uploaded training, validation, and batch-input files plus generated output files; listed and read by ID, not written back in sync. Organizations is specific to Affinity and Files to Azure OpenAI — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Opportunities Deal records tracked on lists and synced with pipeline reporting. Batch jobs Asynchronous bulk-inference jobs; status and output-file IDs are polled to completion to drive downstream pipeline triggers. Opportunities is specific to Affinity and Batch jobs to Azure OpenAI — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Field Values Custom field data, either global or scoped to a list, mapped field-by-field in syncs. Usage and quota Per-deployment TPM/RPM consumption and remaining quota, read from usage endpoints and Azure Monitor for cost and throttling reporting. Field Values is specific to Affinity and Usage and quota to Azure OpenAI — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Affinity and Azure OpenAI

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 Azure OpenAI Sub-second propagation

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

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

Azure OpenAI Affinity Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Azure OpenAI for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling: list endpoints plus GET on job IDs for status.

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.
  • Azure OpenAI: Per-deployment TPM and RPM limits (about 6 RPM per 1000 TPM), scoped by region and subscription; control-plane ARM calls throttle separately.
