Why teams connect Affinity and Bingads

Keep the people you sell to and the people you market to in one shared view: Affinity and Bingads sync contacts, accounts, and engagement in real time, in both directions.

Affinity owns the customer relationship and the pipeline; Bingads runs the campaigns, audiences, and outreach that fill it. The two overlap on the same people and companies — a lead in one system is a subscriber, a segment member, an event registrant, or an ad audience in the other. When that overlap is bridged by CSV exports or a nightly job, sales works from lists that no longer match reality and marketing keeps targeting people whose status has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs List Entries, Persons, Organizations, Opportunities in Affinity with Ads, Keywords & Negative Keywords, Budgets & Bid Strategies, Audiences & Remarketing Lists in Bingads field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — Affinity can own account and opportunity status while Bingads owns engagement and campaign membership — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep introductions and relationship data from Affinity aligned with outreach tools used by the team.
  • 02 Sync notes and reminders into project or task systems used outside the deal team.
  • 03 Sync shared budgets and automated bid strategies so finance-approved spend and bids in an internal tool apply to live Microsoft Advertising campaigns.
  • 04 Pull performance Reports (campaign, ad group, keyword, geographic) into Postgres or a warehouse to blend Microsoft Advertising spend and conversions with Google Ads, CRM, and revenue data.

Common sync patterns

Where Bingads captures engagement: activity lands on the record

Opens, clicks, form fills, event attendance, or ad responses recorded in Bingads post back to the contact or account in Affinity, so reps see interest before they reach out.

Lead and lifecycle status agree

Status, stage, or score set in one system updates the matching record in the other, so a lead marketing is still nurturing is not worked as sales-ready, and a closed account stops receiving prospecting.

Segments and audiences follow the CRM

Where Bingads builds lists, segments, or ad audiences, membership tracks the fields and stage owned in Affinity, so who receives a campaign reflects current pipeline reality instead of a stale export.

How changes propagate between Affinity and Bingads

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 Bingads Sub-second propagation

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

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

Bingads Affinity Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Bingads for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks or change-data-capture.

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.
  • Bingads: Service-specific throttling rather than one global limit. Ad Insight caps calls per user per minute with a 60-second sliding window at the customer level. The Bulk service caps download/upload calls and, once hit, returns 'no more bulk upload or download calls will be permitted for this account,' clearing after up to 15 minutes; Campaign Management caps entities per call, so large changes go through Bulk.
