Why teams connect BetterContact and Gainsight

Flow BetterContact data into Gainsight in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

BetterContact is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Gainsight, so Gainsight always reflects the current state of BetterContact — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Two tools in the daily stack often hold overlapping information: the same people, the same companies, or the same pieces of work, described twice. The tools do different jobs, so consolidating is not the answer; the overlap just needs to stop drifting.

Stacksync syncs Lead Finder Search, Enrichment Request, Enriched Contact, Company in BetterContact with Company, Person (People), Relationship, CTA (Call to Action) in Gainsight in real time. You choose which records overlap, map the fields that should match, and pick a direction or let changes flow both ways. From then on, an update made in either tool is reflected in the other within seconds, without exports or copy-paste.

Because the sync is field-level, each tool keeps its own extras; only the shared data is held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Validate catch-all email addresses before sending to protect sender domain reputation.
  • 02 Enrich new CRM leads with verified emails and mobile numbers as they are created, writing results back to the CRM record.
  • 03 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 04 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.

Common sync patterns

Where Gainsight is where the team documents or plans: keep its data fed

Information that originates in BetterContact stays current in Gainsight instead of going stale after a one-time paste.

Handoffs between teams

When work started in one tool continues in the other, the shared fields travel with it automatically.

Where both tools track people or companies: one consistent record

Contact and company details corrected in either tool update the other, so nobody works from the old version.

What you can sync between BetterContact and Gainsight

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.

BetterContact objects Gainsight objects How this pairing syncs
Company Company data returned with each contact: name, domain, HQ location, industry, employee count. Company Customer/account master in Gainsight CS; two-way synced with CRM and warehouse customer tables to keep ARR, owner, and renewal fields aligned. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in the writable direction. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Lead Finder Search Prospect discovery by people and company filters, returning enriched lead profiles. Timeline Activity Logged calls, emails, and notes; usually read out into a reporting database for QBR and churn analysis. Lead Finder Search is specific to BetterContact and Timeline Activity to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Enrichment Request Batch or single submissions of up to 100 contacts per request for waterfall enrichment. Success Plan Account objectives with associated tasks; read out for reporting or synced with project tools tracking onboarding and adoption. Enrichment Request is specific to BetterContact and Success Plan to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Enriched Contact Verified work emails and mobile numbers with job title, LinkedIn profile, location, and skills. Task and Playbook Cockpit tasks generated from CTAs and playbooks; synced with Jira or Asana so execution happens in the team's own tool. Enriched Contact is specific to BetterContact and Task and Playbook to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BetterContact and Gainsight

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.

BetterContact Gainsight Sub-second propagation

DetectionBetterContact notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Job-based delivery — enrichment results arrive by webhook push or polling of the results endpoint.

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

Gainsight BetterContact Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

DeliveryBetterContact does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: BetterContact's output flows back as field updates on the originating Gainsight records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • BetterContact: Batches capped at 100 contacts per enrichment request.
  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.
