Why teams connect Affinity and Reltio

Treat Affinity like part of your database: its records live in Reltio as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

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 Reltio, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Persons, Organizations, Opportunities, Field Values from Affinity into Reference Data (RDM), Entities, Relations, Crosswalks in Reltio with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Affinity with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push enrichment data computed elsewhere into Affinity field values on list entries.
  • 02 Keep introductions and relationship data from Affinity aligned with outreach tools used by the team.
  • 03 Feed Interactions (transactions, visits, events) into Reltio to enrich entity profiles, then read them back for 360-degree reporting.
  • 04 Mirror the Reltio Activity Log and change history into a database for audit, lineage, and governance reporting.

Common sync patterns

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Affinity arrive as row changes in Reltio, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Affinity become tables in Reltio you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Reltio sync onto the matching records in Affinity, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

What you can sync between Affinity and Reltio

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 Reltio objects How this pairing syncs
Interactions Automatically captured emails and meetings, read for activity reporting. Interactions Transactional or event records linked to entities (purchases, visits, activities); read and written via /interactions to enrich profiles and power 360-degree reporting. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Field Values Custom field data, either global or scoped to a list, mapped field-by-field in syncs. Data Change Requests (DCR) Stewardship change proposals routed through approval workflows; read and written to feed or track governed edits to golden records. Field Values is specific to Affinity and Data Change Requests (DCR) to Reltio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Notes Meeting and call notes synced for record-keeping in other systems. Reference Data (RDM) Managed lookup and reference values (country codes, standardized values, hierarchies); read and updated so downstream systems share consistent reference data. Notes is specific to Affinity and Reference Data (RDM) to Reltio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reminders Follow-up tasks associated with people and organizations. Entities Golden records for each configured entity type (for example Organization, Individual/Contact, Location, or Product); full CRUD via /entities, so records are created, updated, and deleted, and Reltio matches and merges them by survivorship rules. Reminders is specific to Affinity and Entities to Reltio — 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. Relations Typed relationships between two entities (affiliations, hierarchies, employment, households); read and written via /relations to keep account hierarchies and affiliation graphs aligned across systems. Lists is specific to Affinity and Relations to Reltio — 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. Crosswalks Per-entity references to the source systems and their record IDs; written when loading records so Reltio ties each source contribution to a golden record, and read to trace lineage back to origin systems. List Entries is specific to Affinity and Crosswalks to Reltio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Affinity and Reltio

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 Reltio 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 Reltio through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Reltio Affinity Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Reltio for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling the REST API on updateTime (epoch-ms), for example filter=gt(updateTime,<timestamp>), for entities and relations changed past a stored.

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.
  • Reltio: Reltio applies per-tenant API throttling and returns HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) when limits are exceeded; there is no single fixed request-per-second cap published for all tenants, and throttling is tuned per tenant and environment. Large loads and reads use bulk create/update and the asynchronous export/jobs API rather than row-by-row calls.

Reltio

Integration surface
Reltio REST API (Data API) — /entities, /relations, /interactions, /activities, plus Match, RDM (reference data), and Data Change Request endpoints; base URL https://{environment}.reltio.com/reltio/api/{tenantId}
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens obtained from Reltio's central auth server (POST https://auth.reltio.com/oauth/token, client-credentials or password grant, application/x-www-form-urlencoded) and sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>; access tokens expire after about 60 minutes and are renewed with a refresh token, and are scoped per API (entities_api, relations_api, interactions_api, configuration_api, graphs_api)
Change detection
Polling the REST API on updateTime (epoch-ms), for example filter=gt(updateTime,<timestamp>), for entities and relations changed past a stored watermark. Reltio has no CDC log external tools consume; separately, Reltio's event streaming can publish entity change events (created, changed, removed) to a customer-configured message queue (Amazon SQS/SNS, Google Pub/Sub, Azure Service Bus, or Kafka), which is a queue feed rather than HTTP webhooks.
