Why teams connect Affinity and Render Postgres

Treat Affinity like part of your database: its records live in Render Postgres 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 Render Postgres, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors List Entries, Persons, Organizations, Opportunities from Affinity into Materialized Views, Schemas, Columns and Types, Indexes and Constraints in Render Postgres 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 Mirror deal-flow lists into a warehouse or BI tool for pipeline and portfolio reporting.
  • 02 Push enrichment data computed elsewhere into Affinity field values on list entries.
  • 03 Two-way sync CRM or ERP objects into Render Postgres tables so product and ops teams query business data with plain SQL.
  • 04 Capture row-level changes via logical replication and propagate them to a warehouse or another database in near real time.

Common sync patterns

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

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

Query the CRM like a database

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

Product events onto CRM records

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

What you can sync between Affinity and Render Postgres

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 Render Postgres objects How this pairing syncs
Notes Meeting and call notes synced for record-keeping in other systems. Views Saved queries exposed as read-only relations; read out to BI tools or downstream syncs without duplicating transformation logic. Notes is specific to Affinity and Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Interactions Automatically captured emails and meetings, read for activity reporting. Materialized Views Precomputed query results refreshed on demand; read for fast reporting tables that downstream systems can consume. Interactions is specific to Affinity and Materialized Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reminders Follow-up tasks associated with people and organizations. Schemas Namespaces that organize tables per app or environment; sync targets are scoped per schema to keep synced data isolated and tidy. Reminders is specific to Affinity and Schemas to Render Postgres — 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. Columns and Types Full Postgres type system including JSONB and arrays; field mappings preserve native types instead of flattening to strings. Lists is specific to Affinity and Columns and Types to Render Postgres — 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. Indexes and Constraints Primary keys, unique constraints, and foreign keys; unique keys drive idempotent upserts and conflict resolution during sync. List Entries is specific to Affinity and Indexes and Constraints to Render Postgres — 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. Tables Relational tables with full column typing; synced two-way with CRMs, ERPs, and SaaS apps so application data is queryable as plain Postgres rows. Persons is specific to Affinity and Tables to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Affinity and Render Postgres

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 Render Postgres Sub-second propagation

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

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Render Postgres as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Render Postgres Affinity Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Render Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication via WAL and replication slots for change data capture when enabled on the instance, with timestamp or cursor-based polling as the.

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.
  • Render Postgres: No API rate limits — throughput is bounded by the instance's plan (CPU, RAM, connection limit); connection pooling is recommended since managed plans cap concurrent connections.
