Why teams connect Apollo.io and Bingads

Keep the people you sell to and the people you market to in one shared view: Apollo.io and Bingads sync contacts, accounts, and engagement in real time, in both directions.

Apollo.io owns the customer relationship and the pipeline; Bingads runs the campaigns, audiences, and outreach that fill it. The two overlap on the same people and companies — a lead in one system is a subscriber, a segment member, an event registrant, or an ad audience in the other. When that overlap is bridged by CSV exports or a nightly job, sales works from lists that no longer match reality and marketing keeps targeting people whose status has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Contacts, Accounts, People (database records), Sequences in Apollo.io with Campaigns, Ad Groups, Ads, Keywords & Negative Keywords in Bingads field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — Apollo.io can own account and opportunity status while Bingads owns engagement and campaign membership — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Deduplicate contacts across Apollo and the CRM by syncing on email as the match key.
  • 02 Push CRM opportunity stages back into Apollo so reps see pipeline context while sequencing.
  • 03 Two-way sync remarketing and customer-match audiences so audience lists stay aligned between a CDP or CRM and Microsoft Advertising.
  • 04 Push campaign structure - campaigns, ad groups, ads, keywords, and negative keywords - from a planning database into Microsoft Advertising through the Campaign Management or Bulk service.

Common sync patterns

New and updated people stay in step

When a contact or lead is created or edited in either system, the matching record appears or updates in the other, so campaigns reach real people and reps see who is already being marketed to.

Where Bingads captures engagement: activity lands on the record

Opens, clicks, form fills, event attendance, or ad responses recorded in Bingads post back to the contact or account in Apollo.io, so reps see interest before they reach out.

Lead and lifecycle status agree

Status, stage, or score set in one system updates the matching record in the other, so a lead marketing is still nurturing is not worked as sales-ready, and a closed account stops receiving prospecting.

What you can sync between Apollo.io and Bingads

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.

Apollo.io objects Bingads objects How this pairing syncs
Tasks and calls Rep activity records synced for activity reporting and coaching workflows. Conversion Goals & Offline Conversions Conversion goals (read/create) plus ApplyOfflineConversions, which imports offline conversion events (closed deals, qualified leads) back into Microsoft Advertising to inform bidding. Tasks and calls is specific to Apollo.io and Conversion Goals & Offline Conversions to Bingads — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom fields Account- and contact-level custom attributes mapped field-by-field in a sync. Ad Extensions (Assets) Sitelink, callout, image, call, and other extensions/assets associated to campaigns and ad groups; CRUD via Campaign Management. Custom fields is specific to Apollo.io and Ad Extensions (Assets) to Bingads — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts People saved to your Apollo account, synced with emails, phone numbers, and enrichment fields. Accounts, Customers & Users Customer Management hierarchy - accounts, customers, and users - read and managed to mirror agency/MCC-style structure and access into an internal database. Contacts is specific to Apollo.io and Accounts, Customers & Users to Bingads — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Accounts Company records with firmographic attributes, matched to CRM accounts during sync. Performance Reports Campaign, ad group, keyword, geographic, and audience performance via the asynchronous Reporting service (submit, poll, download); read-only spend and conversion data. Accounts is specific to Apollo.io and Performance Reports to Bingads — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People (database records) Prospects from Apollo's global database, pulled into downstream systems once enriched or saved. Campaigns Search, Audience, Shopping, and Performance Max campaigns with budget, status, and campaign-type settings; full create/read/update/delete through the Campaign Management service (or Bulk for scale). People (database records) is specific to Apollo.io and Campaigns to Bingads — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Outreach cadences (emailer campaigns in the API); enrollment status is read to track which contacts are being worked. Ad Groups Ad groups under a campaign with bids, network and audience targeting, and status; CRUD via Campaign Management, so structure can be pushed in from a database. Sequences is specific to Apollo.io and Ad Groups to Bingads — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apollo.io and Bingads

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.

Apollo.io Bingads Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apollo.io for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on updated-at timestamps.

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

Bingads Apollo.io Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Bingads for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks or change-data-capture.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apollo.io: Rate limits and enrichment credits vary by plan; bulk endpoints are throttled separately from single-record calls.
  • Bingads: Service-specific throttling rather than one global limit. Ad Insight caps calls per user per minute with a 60-second sliding window at the customer level. The Bulk service caps download/upload calls and, once hit, returns 'no more bulk upload or download calls will be permitted for this account,' clearing after up to 15 minutes; Campaign Management caps entities per call, so large changes go through Bulk.
