Why teams connect Airtable and Xactly

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

Stacksync mirrors Participants (Payees), Positions & Titles, Quotas / Targets, Payment Summary (Payable) from Xactly into Tables, Records, Fields, Views in Airtable with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Xactly 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 approved Payment Summary amounts from Incent into a payroll or accounts-payable system so payouts are paid from the mastered comp result.
  • 02 Replicate Products and Customer/Account master from CRM/ERP into Xactly so crediting rules resolve against consistent reference data.
  • 03 Sync form-submitted records from Airtable into downstream systems like a helpdesk or marketing platform.
  • 04 Push CRM accounts and deals into an Airtable base so operations teams can manage pipelines and enrichment without CRM licenses.

Common sync patterns

Query the CRM like a database

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

Product events onto CRM records

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

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Xactly API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between Airtable and Xactly

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.

Airtable objects Xactly objects How this pairing syncs
Attachments File fields exposed as expiring URLs that syncs can mirror to other systems. Participants (Payees) Sales reps and payees keyed to positions; loaded and updated from HRIS/HCM source data through Connect (write) and read for roster reporting, so read and write. Attachments is specific to Airtable and Participants (Payees) to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collaborators User fields useful for mapping record ownership to accounts in a CRM or database. Positions & Titles Org-hierarchy positions and titles that credits and quotas roll up to; loaded and maintained through Connect (write) and read to resolve the hierarchy, so read and write. Collaborators is specific to Airtable and Positions & Titles to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bases Top-level containers; each base has its own API endpoint and schema. Quotas / Targets Period quota and target values per position or plan; loaded from planning tools through Connect (write) and read for attainment reporting, so read and write. Bases is specific to Airtable and Quotas / Targets to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Map to sync tables; schema is readable through the base metadata endpoints. Payment Summary (Payable) Approved payable amounts per participant per period; read as the output that feeds payroll and accounts payable, so effectively read-only. Tables is specific to Airtable and Payment Summary (Payable) to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Records The row-level unit created, updated, and deleted during syncs, identified by rec-prefixed IDs. Products & Customers Product and customer/account master used in crediting rules and reporting; loaded and updated from CRM/ERP through Connect (write) and read for lookups, so read and write. Records is specific to Airtable and Products & Customers to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Fields Typed columns including linked records, lookups, and rollups; computed fields are read-only in syncs. Orders Sales order and transaction records loaded into Incent as the raw input for crediting and calculation; created and updated through Connect load and ETL steps (write) and read back for reconciliation, so read and write. Fields is specific to Airtable and Orders to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Airtable and Xactly

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.

Airtable Xactly Sub-second propagation

DetectionAirtable pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks).

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

Xactly Airtable Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Xactly for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No CDC log for external tools to consume.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Airtable: The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.
  • Xactly: Xactly does not publish numeric per-second rate limits. The Connect platform enforces query concurrency and long-running-query limits, so large extracts are paged and heavy loads/queries run as asynchronous Connect jobs (submit, then retrieve results) rather than row-by-row calls; batch loads are the supported path for high volume.

How the Airtable and Xactly connectors work

Airtable

Integration surface
REST API (per-base Web API plus metadata and webhooks endpoints)
Authentication
OAuth (Airtable OAuth grant to specific bases or all resources); the authorizing user must have a `creator` role, since only creator roles can create webhooks
Change detection
Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks); formula fields don't emit change events and are re-synced every hour
Capabilities
read · write · CDC · webhooks
Rate limits
The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.
Airtable setup guide

Xactly

Integration surface
Xactly Connect REST API v2 (JSON), plus ODBC/JDBC drivers over the same ANSI-SQL data model. Incent data is exposed as SQL-queryable objects (for example xactly_order, xactly_credit, xactly_transaction, xactly_payment); data is loaded and extracted through Connect load/query steps and server-side ETL Pipelines. The base host is region/pod-specific (for example https://<pod>.xactlycorp.com).
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via the Xactly Connect API Gateway (bearer tokens issued on behalf of an Xactly Incent user), with HTTP Basic authentication using a dedicated Xactly Connect service-user's credentials also supported for the Connect REST API v2. The connecting user needs Connect/API access plus the relevant object permissions in Incent.
Change detection
No CDC log for external tools to consume. Incremental sync uses SQL predicates on modified/last-updated timestamp columns (for example WHERE modified_date > watermark) against Connect's queryable objects, or scheduled Connect ETL Pipelines that pull deltas since the last run. Xactly Connect has no outbound HTTP webhooks, so change detection is pull/ETL-based.
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Xactly does not publish numeric per-second rate limits. The Connect platform enforces query concurrency and long-running-query limits, so large extracts are paged and heavy loads/queries run as asynchronous Connect jobs (submit, then retrieve results) rather than row-by-row calls; batch loads are the supported path for high volume.
