Why teams connect Azure Cosmos DB and Nimble

Treat Nimble like part of your database: its records live in Azure Cosmos DB as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in Azure Cosmos DB, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Activities, Notes, Tags, Custom fields from Nimble into Databases, Containers, Items (JSON documents), Partition keys in Azure Cosmos DB with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Nimble with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • Consolidate contacts from marketing tools into Nimble while writing Nimble edits back to avoid duplicates.
  • Feed Nimble activity and task data into reporting dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • Consolidate documents from multiple containers into a single reporting store.
  • Stream operational documents from Cosmos DB into a SQL warehouse via the change feed for analytics without hitting request-unit budgets with full scans.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Nimble become tables in Azure Cosmos DB you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Azure Cosmos DB sync onto the matching records in Nimble, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Nimble API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between Azure Cosmos DB 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.

Azure Cosmos DB objects Nimble objects
Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning. Activities Calls, events, and interaction history used for engagement reporting outside Nimble
Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection. Notes Free-text records attached to contacts, replicated for a complete account timeline
Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed. Tags Segmentation labels that map to list membership or filters in downstream systems
Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly. Custom fields Account-defined contact attributes that carry enrichment or internal identifiers
Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync. Contacts Person records with multi-value fields for email, phone, and social profiles; the primary sync entity
Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation. Companies Stored as contact records with a company record type, so they sync through the same contacts resource
