Why teams connect Azure SQL Database and Demandbase

Give your team Demandbase's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in Azure SQL Database: query them with SQL, push audiences built from your own data back to Demandbase, and skip the marketing API.

Demandbase holds the people, audiences, and campaign activity that marketing runs on, but that data sits behind interfaces built for marketers, not for your internal systems. Engineers and analysts who need contacts, list membership, or engagement, for reporting, attribution, or product logic, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it forever. Meanwhile the customer and usage data marketers want for targeting already lives in Azure SQL Database, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Change Subscriptions, Accounts, Opportunities, People (Persons) from Demandbase into Schemas, Rows and columns, Stored procedures, Change tracking / CDC tables in Azure SQL Database field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Marketing records become rows your code can query and join with product and customer data; audiences and attributes computed in Azure SQL Database, from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Demandbase to drive campaigns and ads, with Demandbase kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate Azure SQL tables to a warehouse without building custom CDC pipelines.
  • 02 Consolidate data from several line-of-business apps into one Azure SQL database as an integration hub.
  • 03 Subscribe to Demandbase company and person change webhooks - firmographic updates, M&A, and leadership or employment changes - and land them in an operational store for real-time account alerts.
  • 04 Push warehouse-computed account scores, custom fields, and audiences into Demandbase via the Data Import API so ABM campaigns and sales plays target the segments the warehouse defines.

Common sync patterns

Engagement and results next to the customer

Opens, clicks, sends, RSVPs, or ad activity from Demandbase land in Azure SQL Database beside the matching customer record, ready for reporting and revenue attribution.

React to marketing changes as row changes

A new lead, form fill, or list change in Demandbase arrives as a row change in Azure SQL Database, so scoring, jobs, and notifications run in the tooling your team already uses.

Keep contact attributes consistent

Lifecycle stage, subscription status, or plan maintained on either side stays current on the other, ending exports and dual data entry.

What you can sync between Azure SQL Database and Demandbase

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 SQL Database objects Demandbase objects How this pairing syncs
Change tracking / CDC tables System-maintained change records used to drive incremental sync. Account & Person Lists (Audiences) Named account and person segments exported via Data Export; custom audiences pushed into Demandbase through the Data Import API. Read and write. Change tracking / CDC tables is specific to Azure SQL Database and Account & Person Lists (Audiences) to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in the paired system. Company Details (B2B enrichment) Firmographics, technographics, competitors, and corporate family tree fetched by domain or name via the B2B Company Search and Details endpoints; read-only enrichment. Tables is specific to Azure SQL Database and Company Details (B2B enrichment) to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections used when the sync should expose a curated shape rather than raw tables. Change Subscriptions Company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and DB person employment subscriptions delivered as webhook alerts with a signing secret; the real-time change feed. Views is specific to Azure SQL Database and Change Subscriptions to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that organize tables and control which objects a sync user can reach. Accounts Company/account records with firmographics, intent, and Demandbase qualification and engagement scores; exported via the Data Export API and imported or updated via the Data Import API. Schemas is specific to Azure SQL Database and Accounts to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows and columns Standard relational records with typed columns; primary keys anchor upserts. Opportunities Opportunity records synced from the CRM into Demandbase; exported with calculated insights and imported or updated through the Data Import API. Read and write. Rows and columns is specific to Azure SQL Database and Opportunities to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures Existing business logic that some teams invoke on write instead of direct table inserts. People (Persons) Contact/person records with verified business email, title, seniority, and quality grades; fetched and matched via the B2B Contact endpoints and exported or imported. Stored procedures is specific to Azure SQL Database and People (Persons) to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure SQL Database and Demandbase

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.

Azure SQL Database Demandbase Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Azure SQL Database are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Change data capture or change tracking, both supported on Azure SQL Database.

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

Demandbase Azure SQL Database Sub-second propagation

DetectionDemandbase notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Subscription API webhooks - company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and person employment-change alerts to a configurable URL.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Azure SQL Database as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Demandbase: Credit-based per API call; bulk jobs accept up to 10,000 records per submission, CSV uploads up to 5GB, and result URLs stay valid 24 hours; subscription alerts page up to 5,000 entities and list endpoints up to 100 per page.

Demandbase

Integration surface

Authentication
JWT bearer tokens minted from Demandbase One API Key Sets at the platform level; each credential set expires after 8 hours and is rotated. Legacy single-user API tokens are deprecated.
Change detection
Subscription API webhooks - company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and person employment-change alerts to a configurable URL secured with a signing secret; bulk reads run as async export jobs (submit, poll, download). No log-based CDC.
