Why teams connect Autopilot and MarkLogic

Sync the records in MarkLogic into Autopilot and land its embeddings, classifications, and generated fields back on the same rows, in real time and without a pipeline to maintain.

AI systems do not hold customers or invoices the way business apps do. What they hold is derived from your data: the vectors and metadata in a vector store, or the classifications, extracted fields, and generated text a model produces over records it was given. MarkLogic is where those source records actually live. The bridge between the two is the row itself, since an item in Autopilot and the record in MarkLogic it describes are two halves of the same thing, and they drift the moment one is updated without the other.

Stacksync syncs Semantic Triples, TDE Views, Document Metadata & Properties, Databases & Forests in MarkLogic with Custom Fields, Smart Segments, Journeys (Triggers), Activities in Autopilot in real time. Rows created or changed in MarkLogic flow into Autopilot so inference and embedding run on current data, and the scores, labels, and generated fields Autopilot produces flow back onto the matching rows in MarkLogic, mapped field by field. A change on either side appears on the other within seconds, with no extraction job or webhook plumbing to keep alive.

Because matching is by a stable identifier, every row in MarkLogic stays tied to its AI-side counterpart in Autopilot. Retrieval, enrichment, and generated content always resolve back to the record they came from, so there are no orphaned vectors and no labels describing a version of a row that no longer exists.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror List and Smart Segment membership into a warehouse to power attribution and audience analytics alongside other sources.
  • 02 Stream Activities into a warehouse so opens, clicks, and journey steps sit next to product and revenue data for lifecycle reporting.
  • 03 Keep reference datasets and semantically linked entities aligned across downstream applications.
  • 04 Feed harmonized entities into search and analytics applications as documents change.

Common sync patterns

Run the AI on current data

Rows created or changed in MarkLogic flow into Autopilot as they happen, so embeddings, classifications, and prompts run on the latest records instead of a nightly snapshot.

Write results back onto the record

Scores, labels, extracted fields, or generated text produced in Autopilot land on the matching row in MarkLogic, next to the source data your applications already query.

Keep derived data fresh as sources change

When a row in MarkLogic is updated or removed, its counterpart in Autopilot is updated or removed too, so nothing in Autopilot describes a record that has since changed or gone.

What you can sync between Autopilot and MarkLogic

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 MarkLogic objects How this pairing syncs
Journeys (Triggers) Automation journeys; a contact can be added to a journey via its trigger endpoint to start automated email or SMS sequences. Collections Named groupings used to scope which documents a sync reads or updates. Journeys (Triggers) is specific to Autopilot and Collections to MarkLogic — 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. Semantic Triples RDF data stored alongside documents, queryable with SPARQL for linked-data syncs. Activities is specific to Autopilot and Semantic Triples to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Core people records (email, name, custom fields, list and segment membership); upserted two-way as the primary sync object. TDE Views Relational projections of documents that let syncs read document data as SQL rows. Contacts is specific to Autopilot and TDE Views to MarkLogic — 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. Document Metadata & Properties Permissions, quality, and property fragments carried with each document. Lists is specific to Autopilot and Document Metadata & Properties to MarkLogic — 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. Databases & Forests Storage units that define the scope and placement of synced content. Custom Fields is specific to Autopilot and Databases & Forests to MarkLogic — 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. Users & Roles Security principals that govern what an integration credential can read or write. Smart Segments is specific to Autopilot and Users & Roles to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Autopilot and MarkLogic

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 MarkLogic 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 MarkLogic as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

MarkLogic Autopilot Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MarkLogic for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction log.

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.

How the Autopilot and MarkLogic 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.
