Why teams connect AWS S3 and Gainsight

Get the data locked inside Gainsight into AWS S3 as live tables, and send results back where Gainsight can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Gainsight is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Task and Playbook, Custom Objects, Company, Person (People) from Gainsight into tables in AWS S3 continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in AWS S3 can also be written back into fields in Gainsight where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 02 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 03 Stage bulk loads for warehouses that ingest from object storage.
  • 04 Archive change history from ongoing syncs as timestamped files for audit and replay.

Common sync patterns

Analytics on Gainsight's data

Records and events from Gainsight land in AWS S3 as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Gainsight's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

Where Gainsight accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in AWS S3 sync back onto records in Gainsight, putting analysis where the work happens.

What you can sync between AWS S3 and Gainsight

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.

AWS S3 objects Gainsight objects How this pairing syncs
Access Points Scoped network endpoints used to grant a sync narrow access to a bucket. Relationship Sub-units within a company for multi-product or multi-team accounts; synced so each maps to the right contract in billing or an ERP. Access Points is specific to AWS S3 and Relationship to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Multipart Uploads The mechanism used to write large export files reliably. CTA (Call to Action) Risk and expansion alerts that drive CSM plays; often synced to ticketing or project tools so follow-up work is tracked where teams operate. Multipart Uploads is specific to AWS S3 and CTA (Call to Action) to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Buckets Top-level containers a sync targets; region and policy are set at this level. Scorecard Fact Health scores and measures per Company or Relationship; usage metrics from a warehouse are written in so scores reflect live telemetry. Buckets is specific to AWS S3 and Scorecard Fact to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Objects The stored files (CSV, JSON, Parquet); syncs read them as datasets or write exports into them. Timeline Activity Logged calls, emails, and notes; usually read out into a reporting database for QBR and churn analysis. Objects is specific to AWS S3 and Timeline Activity to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Prefixes Key-name paths used to partition synced datasets, since S3 has no real directories. Success Plan Account objectives with associated tasks; read out for reporting or synced with project tools tracking onboarding and adoption. Prefixes is specific to AWS S3 and Success Plan to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object Metadata System and user-defined metadata read alongside object contents. Task and Playbook Cockpit tasks generated from CTAs and playbooks; synced with Jira or Asana so execution happens in the team's own tool. Object Metadata is specific to AWS S3 and Task and Playbook to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS S3 and Gainsight

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.

AWS S3 Gainsight Sub-second propagation

DetectionAWS S3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. S3 Event Notifications on object create/delete delivered to SQS, SNS, Lambda, or EventBridge.

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

Gainsight AWS S3 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to AWS S3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • AWS S3: Request throughput scales per prefix; sustained high-volume workloads should spread keys across prefixes.
  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.
