Why teams connect Autopilot and Nimble

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

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

Stacksync connects Contacts, Lists, Custom Fields, Smart Segments in Autopilot to Companies, Deals, Tasks, Activities in Nimble with bi-directional, real-time sync. Records and fields from Nimble flow into Autopilot as the material it scores, indexes, or enriches, and the values Autopilot produces flow back onto the matching contact, account, or deal in Nimble, 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 Nimble stays the record of the customer while Autopilot stays where the computation happens.

Common use cases

  • 01 Add contacts to a Journey from a database event or CRM stage change to start automated onboarding or nurture sequences.
  • 02 Mirror List and Smart Segment membership into a warehouse to power attribution and audience analytics alongside other sources.
  • 03 Feed Nimble activity and task data into reporting dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • 04 Sync Nimble contacts and companies into Postgres so ops teams can query socially enriched profile data with SQL.

Common sync patterns

Where Autopilot summarizes or drafts: text where reps read it

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

Where Autopilot enriches people or companies: fields fill in

Enriched attributes from Autopilot populate contact and company fields in Nimble, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

Where Autopilot scores or ranks records: results on the CRM record

Lead scores, fit ratings, or priority computed in Autopilot land as fields on the matching contact or account in Nimble, so reps sort and act on them without leaving the CRM.

What you can sync between Autopilot and Nimble

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 Nimble 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. Contacts Person records with multi-value fields for email, phone, and social profiles; the primary sync entity Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Custom Fields User-defined contact properties (string, number, date, boolean); discovered so field keys map cleanly to destination columns. Custom fields Account-defined contact attributes that carry enrichment or internal identifiers Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Activities Per-contact activity and event history (opens, clicks, journey steps); read-only feed used for engagement reporting. Activities Calls, events, and interaction history used for engagement reporting outside Nimble Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Smart Segments Rule-based dynamic audiences; membership is computed by Autopilot, so it is read-only over the API. Tasks To-do items tied to contacts, mirrored into work-management tools or reporting tables Smart Segments is specific to Autopilot and Tasks to Nimble — 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. Notes Free-text records attached to contacts, replicated for a complete account timeline Journeys (Triggers) is specific to Autopilot and Notes to Nimble — 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. Tags Segmentation labels that map to list membership or filters in downstream systems Lists is specific to Autopilot and Tags to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Autopilot and Nimble

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 Nimble 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 written to Nimble 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.
  • Nimble: Subject to per-account API request quotas.

How the Autopilot and Nimble 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.
