Why teams connect Autopilot and Exasol

Send the records Exasol holds into Autopilot for embedding, classification, and scoring, and land what Autopilot produces back in Exasol as new columns, one two-way connection instead of a batch job.

Exasol holds the raw records the business runs on; Autopilot turns those records into embeddings, scores, labels, and summaries. The two meet wherever a warehouse row needs to be enriched by a model and the result needs somewhere durable to live. Most teams stitch that meeting together with export scripts and a queue, then spend their time keeping the glue alive.

Stacksync syncs Lists, Custom Fields, Smart Segments, Journeys (Triggers) in Autopilot with Virtual schemas, UDF scripts, Users and roles, Schemas in Exasol field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Rows added or changed in Exasol flow into Autopilot as they happen, and the Lists, Custom Fields, Smart Segments, Journeys (Triggers) that Autopilot generates land back in Exasol as columns or tables, with field-level mapping and conflict rules in place of a custom pipeline.

The payoff is that model output stops living in a separate place from the data it describes. Once results sit in Exasol, they join against billing, product, and usage tables already there, so you can report on quality, cost, and coverage without moving anything by hand.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream Activities into a warehouse so opens, clicks, and journey steps sit next to product and revenue data for lifecycle reporting.
  • 02 Upsert Contacts from a CRM or product database into Autopilot so new signups and profile changes flow into email and SMS journeys without manual CSV imports.
  • 03 Keep dimension tables such as customers and products aligned with the systems of record.
  • 04 Load CRM and ERP records into Exasol tables on a schedule so analysts query fresh operational data.

Common sync patterns

Model output back in the warehouse

Scores, labels, embeddings, or summaries produced in Autopilot land in Exasol as columns or tables, queryable and joinable with the rest of the business data.

Keep an index in step with the source

As records change in Exasol, matching Lists, Custom Fields, Smart Segments, Journeys (Triggers) in Autopilot are inserted, updated, or removed, so what Autopilot serves reflects the warehouse instead of a stale snapshot.

One place to analyze AI results

Combine Autopilot's output with the tables already in Exasol to report on model quality, cost, and coverage without exporting anything to a spreadsheet.

What you can sync between Autopilot and Exasol

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.

Autopilot objects Exasol objects How this pairing syncs
Contacts Core people records (email, name, custom fields, list and segment membership); upserted two-way as the primary sync object. Schemas Namespaces that group the tables a sync reads from or writes into. Contacts is specific to Autopilot and Schemas to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lists Static contact lists; membership is readable per list and writable by adding or removing contacts. Tables Primary sync target; columnar relational tables written with standard SQL. Lists is specific to Autopilot and Tables to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Fields User-defined contact properties (string, number, date, boolean); discovered so field keys map cleanly to destination columns. Views Read-only query surfaces often used as curated sources for reverse ETL. Custom Fields is specific to Autopilot and Views to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Smart Segments Rule-based dynamic audiences; membership is computed by Autopilot, so it is read-only over the API. Virtual schemas Federated views over external sources; useful for deciding what needs physical replication. Smart Segments is specific to Autopilot and Virtual schemas to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Journeys (Triggers) Automation journeys; a contact can be added to a journey via its trigger endpoint to start automated email or SMS sequences. UDF scripts In-database functions that can transform synced data after load. Journeys (Triggers) is specific to Autopilot and UDF scripts to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activities Per-contact activity and event history (opens, clicks, journey steps); read-only feed used for engagement reporting. Users and roles Grant read/write access for the dedicated integration account. Activities is specific to Autopilot and Users and roles to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Autopilot and Exasol

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.

Autopilot Exasol Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Autopilot for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No CDC.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Exasol as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Exasol Autopilot Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Exasol for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling with timestamp or key columns.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Autopilot: The REST API is capped at 100 requests/minute per account; exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Enterprise plans can request a higher limit. Contact writes accept an array for bulk upsert, and list and segment reads paginate via a bookmark cursor.
  • Exasol: No API quota; concurrency is bounded by cluster resources and session limits.

How the Autopilot and Exasol connectors work

Autopilot

Integration surface
REST API (Autopilot v1); Autopilot rebranded to Ortto in 2021 and the newer Ortto API co-exists with the legacy Autopilot endpoints
Authentication
Per-account API key sent in the autopilotapikey request header (generated in account settings); requests use Content-Type application/json against https://api2.autopilothq.com/v1/
Change detection
No CDC; incremental sync polls the /contacts endpoint with bookmark cursor pagination and updated timestamps. Journey webhook actions can push specific contact events, but there is no general change-subscription webhook, so polling is the reliable path.
Capabilities

Rate limits
The REST API is capped at 100 requests/minute per account; exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Enterprise plans can request a higher limit. Contact writes accept an array for bulk upsert, and list and segment reads paginate via a bookmark cursor.
