Why teams connect Attio and Pinecone

Write what Pinecone computes onto the contacts, accounts, and deals in Attio, and feed Attio's records back into Pinecone, in real time and in both directions.

Pinecone turns data into something a revenue team can act on: scores, classifications, summaries, and embeddings. But the customers those results describe live in Attio, where reps and marketers actually work. Intelligence that stays inside Pinecone rarely reaches the record where a decision gets made, and Pinecone is only as sharp as the data it sees, which is also held in Attio.

Stacksync connects Namespaces, Collections, Backups, Index statistics in Pinecone to Users, Deals, Workspaces, Custom objects in Attio with bi-directional, real-time sync. Records and fields from Attio flow into Pinecone as the material it scores, indexes, or enriches, and the values Pinecone produces flow back onto the matching contact, account, or deal in Attio, field by field, within seconds. There is no batch export in the middle and no glue code to maintain.

Because the mapping is field-level, you choose exactly which attributes cross and in which direction, so Attio stays the record of the customer while Pinecone stays where the computation happens.

Common use cases

  • 01 Migrate or clone vectors between Pinecone indexes, projects, or namespaces - or from another vector store into Pinecone - using batched upserts.
  • 02 Back up a namespace by exporting its vector ids, values, and metadata to object storage or a database on a schedule using the list and fetch operations.
  • 03 Sync companies, people, and deals with Postgres so ops teams enrich and update CRM records with SQL.
  • 04 Write product usage and enrichment data into Attio attributes so GTM teams work from live account signals.

Common sync patterns

Where Pinecone classifies or tags: labels sync onto the record

Categories, sentiment, or intent produced in Pinecone attach to the right contact, account, or deal in Attio, keeping segmentation current as new data arrives.

Where Pinecone indexes records for retrieval: Attio keeps it fresh

Contacts, accounts, and notes from Attio sync into Pinecone as they change, so embeddings or search stay aligned with the live CRM instead of a stale export.

Where Pinecone summarizes or drafts: text where reps read it

Summaries, next steps, or drafted messages generated in Pinecone write back onto the account or deal in Attio, next to the relationship they describe.

What you can sync between Attio and Pinecone

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.

Attio objects Pinecone objects How this pairing syncs
Users Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Backups Point-in-time snapshots of a serverless index; created, listed, and restored into a new index on the control plane for recovery or cloning. Read as a recovery-asset inventory. Users is specific to Attio and Backups to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Deals Pipeline records; read out for revenue reporting and written to from automation. Index statistics Describe_index_stats returns total and per-namespace vector counts, the index dimension, and index fullness; read to size a sync and to detect drift between Pinecone and the source of truth. Deals is specific to Attio and Index statistics to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workspaces Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Indexes Serverless or pod-based containers holding vectors of a fixed dimension and distance metric (cosine, dotproduct, euclidean); managed on the control plane (api.pinecone.io) via create, list, describe, configure, and delete. describe_index returns the per-index data-plane host. Workspaces is specific to Attio and Indexes to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom objects Workspace-defined objects that behave like standard ones in the API. Vectors (records) The core data: an id (up to 512 chars), a dense values array, optional sparse_values, and JSON metadata (up to 40 KB filterable per record). Full CRUD on the data plane via upsert, update, fetch, query, and delete, so write is supported here. Custom objects is specific to Attio and Vectors (records) to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People Standard person object; synced with marketing tools and warehouse person tables. Namespaces Partitions inside an index; every read and write targets one namespace and vectors across namespaces are isolated. Enumerated with list_namespaces and sized per namespace via describe_index_stats. People is specific to Attio and Namespaces to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Companies Standard company object; matched to billing and product accounts in two-way syncs. Collections Immutable snapshots of a pod-based index that store its data but not its definition; created, listed, and deleted on the control plane and used to recreate a pod-based index. Serverless indexes use Backups instead. Companies is specific to Attio and Collections to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Attio and Pinecone

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.

Attio Pinecone Sub-second propagation

DetectionAttio notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks on record and list-entry events, with polling as a fallback.

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

Pinecone Attio Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pinecone for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks and no native change-data-capture feed.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Attio: Subject to the platform's published API rate limits.
  • Pinecone: Data-plane operations are capped per second: query, upsert, update, and delete at 100 req/s per namespace, fetch at 100 req/s per index, and list at 200 req/s per index; breaches return HTTP 429. Hard request limits also apply: an upsert is max 2 MB or 1000 records, metadata max 40 KB per record, and query top_k up to 10,000 with a 4 MB result cap.

Attio setup guide

Pinecone

Integration surface
Two HTTP APIs: a control plane at api.pinecone.io (manage indexes, collections, backups, and, via the Admin API, projects and API keys) and a per-index data plane at the host returned by describe_index (upsert, query, fetch, update, delete, list). A gRPC data-plane transport is available through the official SDKs.
Authentication
API key in the Api-Key request header, scoped to one project; every request also sends an X-Pinecone-Api-Version header (date-based, e.g. 2025-10). The organization Admin API instead uses OAuth2 client-credentials (service accounts) via login.pinecone.io/oauth/token, passing a Bearer token to api.pinecone.io/admin (Enterprise).
Change detection
No webhooks and no native change-data-capture feed. Vectors carry no server-side update timestamp, so Stacksync detects changes by re-reading - paginating vector ids with the list operation (serverless indexes) and fetching by id, or by re-upserting from the source of truth. describe_index_stats bounds a resync with per-namespace counts.
