Why teams connect Atlassian and Gainsight

Stop re-entering the same information in Atlassian and Gainsight: Stacksync keeps the records they share consistent in real time, in both directions.

Two tools in the daily stack often hold overlapping information: the same people, the same companies, or the same pieces of work, described twice. The tools do different jobs, so consolidating is not the answer; the overlap just needs to stop drifting.

Stacksync syncs Boards and Sprints, Issue Comments, Attachments, Custom Fields in Atlassian with Custom Objects, Company, Person (People), Relationship in Gainsight in real time. You choose which records overlap, map the fields that should match, and pick a direction or let changes flow both ways. From then on, an update made in either tool is reflected in the other within seconds, without exports or copy-paste.

Because the sync is field-level, each tool keeps its own extras; only the shared data is held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Jira projects into a SQL database for engineering throughput and SLA reporting.
  • 02 Create Jira issues from records in other systems, such as onboarding tasks generated from a closed-won CRM deal.
  • 03 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 04 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.

Common sync patterns

Where one tool produces events: mirror them in the other

Payments, replies, messages, or tickets created in one tool can create or update matching records in the other, keeping context in one place.

Where Gainsight is where the team documents or plans: keep its data fed

Information that originates in Atlassian stays current in Gainsight instead of going stale after a one-time paste.

Handoffs between teams

When work started in one tool continues in the other, the shared fields travel with it automatically.

What you can sync between Atlassian and Gainsight

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.

Atlassian objects Gainsight objects How this pairing syncs
Confluence Pages Documentation content readable and writable through the Confluence REST API. CTA (Call to Action) Risk and expansion alerts that drive CSM plays; often synced to ticketing or project tools so follow-up work is tracked where teams operate. Confluence Pages is specific to Atlassian and CTA (Call to Action) to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Confluence Spaces Namespaces that scope page syncs and permissions. Scorecard Fact Health scores and measures per Company or Relationship; usage metrics from a warehouse are written in so scores reflect live telemetry. Confluence Spaces is specific to Atlassian and Scorecard Fact to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Jira Issues The central work item, synced two-way with CRMs, support desks, and other trackers. Timeline Activity Logged calls, emails, and notes; usually read out into a reporting database for QBR and churn analysis. Jira Issues is specific to Atlassian and Timeline Activity to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Jira Projects Containers that scope issues, workflows, and permissions for a sync. Success Plan Account objectives with associated tasks; read out for reporting or synced with project tools tracking onboarding and adoption. Jira Projects is specific to Atlassian and Success Plan to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Boards and Sprints Agile structures read to report on sprint contents and status. Task and Playbook Cockpit tasks generated from CTAs and playbooks; synced with Jira or Asana so execution happens in the team's own tool. Boards and Sprints is specific to Atlassian and Task and Playbook to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Issue Comments Threaded discussion synced into linked tickets in external systems. Custom Objects Org-specific MDA tables with the __gc suffix; discoverable via the Describe API so field mappings can be generated automatically. Issue Comments is specific to Atlassian and Custom Objects to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Atlassian and Gainsight

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.

Atlassian Gainsight Sub-second propagation

DetectionAtlassian notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks on issue and page events, plus JQL polling on the updated timestamp for backfill.

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

Gainsight Atlassian Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.
