Why teams connect Attio and SAP Hana

Treat Attio like part of your database: its records live in SAP Hana as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in SAP Hana, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Workspaces, Custom objects, People, Companies from Attio into SQL views, Schemas, Sequences, Triggers in SAP Hana with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Attio with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write product usage and enrichment data into Attio attributes so GTM teams work from live account signals.
  • 02 Keep Attio aligned with a billing system or ERP on customer records and plan status.
  • 03 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.
  • 04 Detect inserts, updates, and deletes on high-write tables via AFTER triggers or a last-modified column and replicate the deltas downstream near-real-time.

Common sync patterns

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Attio arrive as row changes in SAP Hana, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Attio become tables in SAP Hana you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to SAP Hana sync onto the matching records in Attio, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

What you can sync between Attio and SAP Hana

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 SAP Hana objects How this pairing syncs
Deals Pipeline records; read out for revenue reporting and written to from automation. Schemas Namespaces that group tables and views; the connector targets a schema and enumerates its objects from the catalog to build the sync. Deals is specific to Attio and Schemas to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workspaces Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Sequences Server-generated key values; relevant when writing rows into tables whose identity is assigned HANA-side rather than by the source system. Workspaces is specific to Attio and Sequences to SAP Hana — 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. Triggers AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers capture changes into a shadow/logging table so updates and deletes are detected near-real-time without full scans. Custom objects is specific to Attio and Triggers to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People Standard person object; synced with marketing tools and warehouse person tables. System-versioned temporal tables Column store tables with a history table tracking each row's validity period; used to reconstruct update and delete history for change capture. People is specific to Attio and System-versioned temporal tables to SAP Hana — 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. System views (SYS schema) Catalog and monitoring views such as SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS; read to discover schema and auto-generate field mappings for new tables. Companies is specific to Attio and System views (SYS schema) to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Column store tables HANA's default table type, optimized for analytics; synced two-way as rows over the SQL interface with the primary key driving upserts and delete tracking. Users is specific to Attio and Column store tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Attio and SAP Hana

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 SAP Hana 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 applied to SAP Hana as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

SAP Hana Attio Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SAP Hana are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table.

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.
  • SAP Hana: No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.

SQL over the SAP HANA client (JDBC/ODBC drivers); OData/REST via XS for app-layer access
Authentication
Dedicated database user credentials over an encrypted TLS connection (password sent hashed); Kerberos, SAML, JWT, and X.509 certificate authentication are also supported. SAP HANA Cloud enforces TLS and IP allowlisting.
Change detection
Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table; system-versioned temporal tables and SLT/SDI provide trigger- and log-based CDC. No native webhooks.
