Why teams connect Affinity and SAP Hana

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

Stacksync mirrors Persons, Organizations, Opportunities, Field Values from Affinity into SQL views, Schemas, Sequences, Triggers in SAP Hana 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 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 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.
  • 04 Detect inserts, updates, and deletes on high-write tables via AFTER triggers or a last-modified column and replicate the deltas downstream near-real-time.

Common sync patterns

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

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

Query the CRM like a database

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

Product events onto CRM records

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

What you can sync between Affinity and SAP Hana

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 SAP Hana objects How this pairing syncs
Interactions Automatically captured emails and meetings, read for activity reporting. SQL views Standard database views; read-only projections synced outbound when the source data should not be exposed as raw base tables. Interactions is specific to Affinity and SQL views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reminders Follow-up tasks associated with people and organizations. Schemas Namespaces that group tables and views; the connector targets a schema and enumerates its objects from the catalog to build the sync. Reminders is specific to Affinity and Schemas to SAP Hana — 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. Sequences Server-generated key values; relevant when writing rows into tables whose identity is assigned HANA-side rather than by the source system. Lists is specific to Affinity and Sequences to SAP Hana — 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. Triggers AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers capture changes into a shadow/logging table so updates and deletes are detected near-real-time without full scans. List Entries is specific to Affinity and Triggers to SAP Hana — 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. System-versioned temporal tables Column store tables with a history table tracking each row's validity period; used to reconstruct update and delete history for change capture. Persons is specific to Affinity and System-versioned temporal tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Organizations Company records matched to accounts in other systems by domain. System views (SYS schema) Catalog and monitoring views such as SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS; read to discover schema and auto-generate field mappings for new tables. Organizations is specific to Affinity and System views (SYS schema) to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Affinity and SAP Hana

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 SAP Hana 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 SAP Hana as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

SAP Hana Affinity Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SAP Hana are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table.

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.
  • SAP Hana: No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.
