Proposed workflow
Event or activity reporting workflow
Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.
Starting eventA change involving the proposed event or activity table in Azure Synapse Analytics or Pendo Feature Events needs a defined result in the other system.
Start with the proposed event or activity table in Azure Synapse Analytics and Pendo Feature Events. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
Resolve the related customer, user, or transaction identity without assuming the event ID is the entity ID.
Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
What to verifyDeliver the same event twice, then an older event after a newer one; verify duplicate and ordering behavior.

Compare integration approaches
Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Proposed event or activity table in Azure Synapse Analytics (choose its name) / Feature Events to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.
Stacksync managed sync
- Best fit
- Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
- Operating responsibility
- Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
- Before you choose
- Check record matching: Keep the source event ID, source system, occurrence time, and ingestion time. Use an explicit duplicate-detection key. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.
Native vendor integration
- Best fit
- A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your Azure Synapse Analytics and Pendo record types.
- Operating responsibility
- Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
- Before you choose
- First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Proposed event or activity table in Azure Synapse Analytics (choose its name) / Feature Events, update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.
Custom API or workflow
- Best fit
- Consider when Azure Synapse Analytics and Pendo need a transformation, approval, or action outside a direct record sync.
- Operating responsibility
- Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
- Before you choose
- Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery.
File or scheduled snapshot
- Best fit
- Consider for a one-time Azure Synapse Analytics / Pendo migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
- Operating responsibility
- Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
- Before you choose
- Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.
Workflow scenarios and expected results
Event or activity reporting workflow
Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.
Starting event: A change to the selected Proposed event or activity table in Azure Synapse Analytics (choose its name) or Feature Events record needs a defined result in the other system.
- Start with Azure Synapse Analytics Proposed event or activity table in Azure Synapse Analytics (choose its name) and Pendo Feature Events. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
- Resolve the related customer, user, or transaction identity without assuming the event ID is the entity ID.
- Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
Expected result: Deliver the same event twice, then an older event after a newer one; verify duplicate and ordering behavior.
If it fails: Identify side effects already completed before replaying an event; use the agreed deduplication key.
Company reporting workflow
Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.
Starting event: A change to the selected Proposed company table in Azure Synapse Analytics (choose its name) or Accounts record needs a defined result in the other system.
- Start with Azure Synapse Analytics Proposed company table in Azure Synapse Analytics (choose its name) and Pendo Accounts. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
- Resolve parent organizations, business units, and currency references before dependent transactions.
- Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
Expected result: Use two organizations with similar names and one with multiple business units. Verify that an update reaches the intended entity only.
If it fails: Repair the cross-system ID relationship before retrying dependent records; do not merge companies solely to remove a sync error.
Contact reporting workflow
Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.
Starting event: A change to the selected Proposed contact table in Azure Synapse Analytics (choose its name) or Visitors record needs a defined result in the other system.
- Start with Azure Synapse Analytics Proposed contact table in Azure Synapse Analytics (choose its name) and Pendo Visitors. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
- Resolve the organization relationship and any owner or consent references required by the destination.
- Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
Expected result: Test an email change, two records sharing an email, and a person associated with multiple organizations.
If it fails: Hold ambiguous matches for review and reconcile the person ID before retrying; preserve the consent decision already recorded by its owner.
Define an explicit handoff between Azure Synapse Analytics and Pendo
This is an evaluation scenario; connector and operation support require confirmation.
Starting event: A business event involving a selected business dataset needs a defined response involving Visitors or Accounts.
- Document what the source event means and which destination record or action should respond. A similar name does not establish a shared entity.
- Retain separate IDs and choose whether the destination is a report, a new work item, or a change to an existing record.
- Assign an approval owner and a duplicate-detection rule before running an action. Use a custom workflow only after its endpoint support is confirmed.
Expected result: An example input has an unambiguous destination and expected result; repeated delivery produces only the intended change.
If it fails: Resolve missing identity or ambiguous business meaning before retrying; route unsupported operations to the implementation owner.
Initial load and acceptance testing
Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.
Proposed event or activity table in Azure Synapse Analytics (choose its name) / Feature Events

-
Confirm two-way support with Stacksync for the records and fields you need in both systems. Access to a vendor API does not confirm that its Stacksync connector supports write-back.
-
Prepare both accounts, the selected object schemas, stable source and destination IDs, and the expected outcome. Identify the Azure Synapse Analytics account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access. Identify the Pendo account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access. Use the pair worksheet to record ownership and acceptance criteria.
-
Measure initial-load and ongoing-change latency separately. Source detection, selected objects, account limits, and destination validation determine the observed delay.
-
No. Stacksync documents that pre-existing duplicates are not merged automatically when two-way sync begins. Review the initial dataset and matching plan before enabling it; an empty destination can simplify the first load.
-
Start with one business entity and a stable record ID. Map a small set of editable fields with compatible types, test required values and relationships, then expand after the pilot passes.
-
Check the destination error, field constraints, permissions, and current source value. The Stacksync issues dashboard supports retry and revert; retry reads current source values, so verify the intended record state before acting.
-
