Why teams connect Azure SQL Database and Nimble

Treat Nimble like part of your database: its records live in Azure SQL Database 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 SQL Database, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Custom fields, Contacts, Companies, Deals from Nimble into Rows and columns, Stored procedures, Change tracking / CDC tables, Tables in Azure SQL Database 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

  • Push product usage or billing flags from internal databases into Nimble custom fields so reps have context before outreach.
  • Keep deals aligned between Nimble and an accounting system so invoicing starts when a deal closes.
  • Consolidate data from several line-of-business apps into one Azure SQL database as an integration hub.
  • Feed an Azure SQL operational database with orders and inventory from an ERP in near real time.

Query the CRM like a database

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

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Azure SQL Database 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 SQL Database 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 SQL Database objects Nimble objects
Schemas Namespaces that organize tables and control which objects a sync user can reach. Companies Stored as contact records with a company record type, so they sync through the same contacts resource
Rows and columns Standard relational records with typed columns; primary keys anchor upserts. Deals Pipeline records linked to contacts, synced to keep revenue systems aligned with sales activity
Stored procedures Existing business logic that some teams invoke on write instead of direct table inserts. Tasks To-do items tied to contacts, mirrored into work-management tools or reporting tables
Change tracking / CDC tables System-maintained change records used to drive incremental sync. Activities Calls, events, and interaction history used for engagement reporting outside Nimble
Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in the paired system. Notes Free-text records attached to contacts, replicated for a complete account timeline
Views Read-only projections used when the sync should expose a curated shape rather than raw tables. Tags Segmentation labels that map to list membership or filters in downstream systems
