Why teams connect Azure Cosmos DB and Nutshell

Treat Nutshell 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 Leads, People, Companies, Activities from Nutshell into Containers, Items (JSON documents), Partition keys, Change feed entries 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 Nutshell 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

  • Push closed-won leads to accounting software to trigger invoicing automatically.
  • Keep People and Companies consistent between Nutshell and email marketing or outreach tools.
  • Two-way sync between a Cosmos DB-backed product catalog and a PIM or commerce platform.
  • Consolidate documents from multiple containers into a single reporting store.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Azure Cosmos DB sync onto the matching records in Nutshell, 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 Nutshell API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Nutshell arrive as row changes in Azure Cosmos DB, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

What you can sync between Azure Cosmos DB and Nutshell

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 Nutshell objects
Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync. Users Rep records used to resolve ownership when syncing assignments
Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation. Leads Nutshell's deal object; synced as the pipeline record linked to people and companies
Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning. People Individual contacts, kept consistent with marketing and outreach tools
Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection. Companies Account records that group people and leads for account-level syncs
Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed. Activities Logged calls, meetings, and emails used for engagement reporting
Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly. Tasks Rep to-dos mirrored into external work-management or reporting systems
