Why teams connect Autopilot and Yellowbrick

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

Yellowbrick 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 Custom Fields, Smart Segments, Journeys (Triggers), Activities in Autopilot with Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views in Yellowbrick field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Rows added or changed in Yellowbrick flow into Autopilot as they happen, and the Custom Fields, Smart Segments, Journeys (Triggers), Activities that Autopilot generates land back in Yellowbrick 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 Yellowbrick, 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 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 Sync CRM and marketing data into Yellowbrick tables so it can be joined with large fact tables for enterprise BI.
  • 04 Land ERP transactional extracts in Yellowbrick for finance and supply-chain analytics.

Common sync patterns

Keep an index in step with the source

As records change in Yellowbrick, matching Custom Fields, Smart Segments, Journeys (Triggers), Activities 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 Yellowbrick to report on model quality, cost, and coverage without exporting anything to a spreadsheet.

History that outlives a run

A continuously synced copy in Yellowbrick preserves every generated result, so outputs stay auditable even as they are overwritten or expire inside Autopilot.

What you can sync between Autopilot and Yellowbrick

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 Yellowbrick 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. Users and Roles Access-control objects that govern what a sync service account can read and write. Contacts is specific to Autopilot and Users and Roles to Yellowbrick — 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. Databases Top-level containers for schemas and tables. Lists is specific to Autopilot and Databases to Yellowbrick — 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. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by source or domain. Custom Fields is specific to Autopilot and Schemas to Yellowbrick — 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. Tables Columnar MPP tables; the primary targets for warehouse syncs. Smart Segments is specific to Autopilot and Tables to Yellowbrick — 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. Views Logical views used to shape reads for BI and downstream syncs. Journeys (Triggers) is specific to Autopilot and Views to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Autopilot and Yellowbrick

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

Yellowbrick Autopilot Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Yellowbrick for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp 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.
  • Yellowbrick: No API rate limits; throughput depends on cluster sizing, and bulk loads should use ybload rather than row-by-row inserts.

How the Autopilot and Yellowbrick 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.

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.
