Why teams connect Akeneo and Nutshell

Keep the customers and orders that Nutshell and Akeneo share aligned in real time, so sales works from live purchase history and the store works from current account details.

Nutshell 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 Tags, Users, Leads, People in Nutshell to Assets, Channels and locales, Media files, Products 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 Write subscription or product data from internal systems into Nutshell so reps see account context.
  • 02 Mirror tasks and activities into ops tools for cross-team visibility.
  • 03 Mirror Products and completeness data into a warehouse to track enrichment progress by channel and locale without manual CSV exports.
  • 04 Two-way sync Products and product models with an operational Postgres database or ERP so SKUs, prices, and localized descriptions stay aligned across systems.

Common sync patterns

Contact and address details stay consistent

An email, phone, or shipping and billing address corrected in either system updates the other, so the next order and the next outreach both use current information.

Where Nutshell segments customers: status travels to the store record

Lifecycle stage, tier, or account owner set in Nutshell syncs onto the customer record in Akeneo, so the buying side can act on how the relationship is classified.

Where both keep product records: catalog and CRM products aligned

Where Nutshell 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.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Nutshell

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 Nutshell objects How this pairing syncs
Products Core catalog records addressed by UUID (recommended) or identifier/SKU; synced two-way with databases, ERPs, and storefronts. Values are scoped per channel and locale. Products Line items attached to leads, used to sync sold products into billing Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Media files Product images and files uploaded via the media endpoint; referenced by products and pushed to downstream commerce and content systems. Activities Logged calls, meetings, and emails used for engagement reporting Media files is specific to Akeneo and Activities to Nutshell — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Product models Parent records for configurable products; hold shared attribute values that cascade to their variant products, synced alongside Products. Tasks Rep to-dos mirrored into external work-management or reporting systems Product models is specific to Akeneo and Tasks to Nutshell — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Categories The category tree used to classify products; read out for storefront navigation or written in from an ERP to seed catalog structure. Notes Free-text history attached to leads and contacts, replicated for a full timeline Categories is specific to Akeneo and Notes to Nutshell — 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. Tags Segmentation labels mapped to lists or filters in downstream tools Attributes is specific to Akeneo and Tags to Nutshell — 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. Users Rep records used to resolve ownership when syncing assignments Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Users to Nutshell — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Nutshell

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

Nutshell Akeneo Sub-second propagation

DetectionNutshell notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling as fallback.

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.
  • Nutshell: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.

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
