Why teams connect Autopilot and Render Postgres
Sync the records in Render Postgres 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. Render Postgres 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 Render Postgres it describes are two halves of the same thing, and they drift the moment one is updated without the other.
Stacksync syncs Tables, Views, Materialized Views, Schemas in Render Postgres with Lists, Custom Fields, Smart Segments, Journeys (Triggers) in Autopilot in real time. Rows created or changed in Render Postgres 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 Render Postgres, 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 Render Postgres 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 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 Capture row-level changes via logical replication and propagate them to a warehouse or another database in near real time.
- 04 Serve as the operational read/write store behind internal tools while Stacksync keeps it consistent with SaaS systems of record.
Common sync patterns
Keep derived data fresh as sources change
When a row in Render Postgres 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.
Backfill once, then stay in step
Load your existing rows from Render Postgres into Autopilot to build the index or enrichment set, then let ongoing changes sync automatically instead of re-running the whole job.
One record, one identifier
Each item in Autopilot carries the key of the row in Render Postgres it came from, so results resolve back to the exact record with nothing orphaned or duplicated.
What you can sync between Autopilot and Render Postgres
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 | Render Postgres objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lists Static contact lists; membership is readable per list and writable by adding or removing contacts. | Schemas Namespaces that organize tables per app or environment; sync targets are scoped per schema to keep synced data isolated and tidy. | Lists is specific to Autopilot and Schemas to Render Postgres — 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. | Columns and Types Full Postgres type system including JSONB and arrays; field mappings preserve native types instead of flattening to strings. | Custom Fields is specific to Autopilot and Columns and Types to Render Postgres — 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. | Indexes and Constraints Primary keys, unique constraints, and foreign keys; unique keys drive idempotent upserts and conflict resolution during sync. | Smart Segments is specific to Autopilot and Indexes and Constraints to Render Postgres — 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. | Tables Relational tables with full column typing; synced two-way with CRMs, ERPs, and SaaS apps so application data is queryable as plain Postgres rows. | Journeys (Triggers) is specific to Autopilot and Tables to Render Postgres — 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. | Views Saved queries exposed as read-only relations; read out to BI tools or downstream syncs without duplicating transformation logic. | Activities is specific to Autopilot and Views to Render Postgres — 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. | Materialized Views Precomputed query results refreshed on demand; read for fast reporting tables that downstream systems can consume. | Contacts is specific to Autopilot and Materialized Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Autopilot and Render Postgres
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 Render Postgres 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 Render Postgres as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Render Postgres Autopilot Sub-second propagation
DetectionChanges in Render Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication via WAL and replication slots for change data capture when enabled on the instance, with timestamp or cursor-based polling as the.
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.
- Render Postgres: No API rate limits — throughput is bounded by the instance's plan (CPU, RAM, connection limit); connection pooling is recommended since managed plans cap concurrent connections.

How the Autopilot and Render Postgres 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.

Autopilot and Render Postgres integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Autopilot and Render Postgres: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Autopilot's Lists and Custom Fields), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Autopilot: 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/. Render Postgres: PostgreSQL wire protocol (managed Postgres on Render). Authentication: Standard Postgres connection string — host, port, database, user, password with TLS; Render provides internal and external connection URLs and IP allowlisting. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Autopilot: Authentication is a per-account API key sent in the autopilotapikey header against base URL https://api2.autopilothq.com/v1/; Autopilot rebranded to Ortto in 2021 and both API surfaces still operate. Render Postgres: Render Postgres is standard PostgreSQL — anything that speaks the Postgres protocol works unchanged, including logical replication clients. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Autopilot and Render Postgres without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Autopilot and Render Postgres records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Autopilot and Render Postgres connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Autopilot–Render Postgres integration in-house.
