Why teams connect Akeneo and Nimble
Keep the customers and orders that Nimble and Akeneo share aligned in real time, so sales works from live purchase history and the store works from current account details.
Nimble holds the customer relationship: the contacts, accounts, and deals a go-to-market team works. Akeneo runs the buying side: who placed which order, what they bought, and where it ships. The two describe the same people and companies, and when they are connected only by exports, sales answers questions without recent orders in front of them while the store works from account details that changed weeks ago.
Stacksync links Activities, Notes, Tags, Custom fields in Nimble to Categories, Attributes, Families and family variants, Reference entities and records in Akeneo with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, order activity, and corrected contact details move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. A record created or changed on either side shows up on the other within seconds, with no CSV exports and no nightly job.
The shared entity is the customer, matched on email or an external ID, so both systems agree on who the buyer is and the order history sits next to the relationship instead of in a separate tab.
Common use cases
- 01 Sync Nimble contacts and companies into Postgres so ops teams can query socially enriched profile data with SQL.
- 02 Push product usage or billing flags from internal databases into Nimble custom fields so reps have context before outreach.
- 03 Two-way sync Products and product models with an operational Postgres database or ERP so SKUs, prices, and localized descriptions stay aligned across systems.
- 04 Push enriched Products and their Assets into an ecommerce storefront or commerce database when product.created and product.updated webhooks fire.
Common sync patterns
Where both keep product records: catalog and CRM products aligned
Where Nimble tracks products or line items and Akeneo holds the catalog, shared items are matched on SKU so quotes, deals, and orders reference the same products.
One customer identity across sales and store
A person who exists as a contact in Nimble and a buyer in Akeneo is kept as a single, deduplicated record, so both teams work from the same customer instead of two partial copies.
Where Akeneo records orders: purchase history on the account
Orders and their status from Akeneo appear on the matching contact or account in Nimble, so reps see what a customer has bought and what is in flight before the next conversation.
What you can sync between Akeneo and Nimble
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.
| Akeneo objects | Nimble objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Categories The category tree used to classify products; read out for storefront navigation or written in from an ERP to seed catalog structure. | Activities Calls, events, and interaction history used for engagement reporting outside Nimble | Categories is specific to Akeneo and Activities to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Attributes Attribute definitions plus attribute options and groups; describe the shape of product data, usually mastered in Akeneo and read downstream. | Notes Free-text records attached to contacts, replicated for a complete account timeline | Attributes is specific to Akeneo and Notes to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Families and family variants Templates defining which attributes a product carries and how variants axis out; synced to keep catalog structure consistent across systems. | Tags Segmentation labels that map to list membership or filters in downstream systems | Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Tags to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Reference entities and records Structured lookups like brands, manufacturers, or ingredients with their own records (Enterprise Edition); synced two-way or read into a warehouse for reporting. | Custom fields Account-defined contact attributes that carry enrichment or internal identifiers | Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Custom fields to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Assets Asset-family media (images, documents) managed in Akeneo's DAM; linked to products and synced to storefronts and commerce systems. | Contacts Person records with multi-value fields for email, phone, and social profiles; the primary sync entity | Assets is specific to Akeneo and Contacts to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Channels and locales Target-market settings that scope attribute values; read to resolve which localized or channel-specific value to map on each side of a sync. | Companies Stored as contact records with a company record type, so they sync through the same contacts resource | Channels and locales is specific to Akeneo and Companies to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Akeneo and Nimble
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.
Akeneo Nimble Sub-second propagation
DetectionAkeneo notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Nimble through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Nimble Akeneo Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Nimble for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on record modification timestamps.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Akeneo through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Akeneo: REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.
- Nimble: Subject to per-account API request quotas.

How the Akeneo and Nimble connectors work
Akeneo
- Integration surface
- REST API (plus a GraphQL API) and an Events API for webhooks
- Authentication
- OAuth2 password grant: client_id/secret plus an API user's username/password exchanged at /api/oauth/v1/token for a bearer access_token and refresh_token; Apps use the OAuth2 authorization-code flow
- Change detection
- Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents; product.updated.delta carries old and new values); falls back to polling the 'updated' datetime search filter where the Events API is unavailable
