Why teams connect BetterContact and MariaDB

Mirror BetterContact's data into MariaDB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

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

Engineers integrate with tools like BetterContact through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in MariaDB.

Stacksync mirrors Enriched Contact, Company, Lead Finder Search, Enrichment Request from BetterContact into Databases (Schemas), Tables, Views, Columns in MariaDB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into BetterContact, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Enrich new CRM leads with verified emails and mobile numbers as they are created, writing results back to the CRM record.
  • 02 Backfill a warehouse of contacts with waterfall enrichment across 20+ data providers.
  • 03 Two-way sync between a MariaDB application database and a CRM so both systems hold the same customer records
  • 04 Replicate ERP or billing master data into MariaDB databases that power customer-facing applications

Common sync patterns

Read BetterContact with a query

Records from BetterContact are ordinary rows in MariaDB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate BetterContact from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in MariaDB and Stacksync propagates the change into BetterContact, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in BetterContact arrive as row changes in MariaDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between BetterContact and MariaDB

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 MariaDB objects How this pairing syncs
Enrichment Request Batch or single submissions of up to 100 contacts per request for waterfall enrichment. Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Enrichment Request is specific to BetterContact and Views to MariaDB — 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. Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. Enriched Contact is specific to BetterContact and Columns to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Company Company data returned with each contact: name, domain, HQ location, industry, employee count. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Company is specific to BetterContact and Primary and Unique Keys to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lead Finder Search Prospect discovery by people and company filters, returning enriched lead profiles. System-Versioned Tables Temporal tables that retain row history natively, useful for auditing synced changes. Lead Finder Search is specific to BetterContact and System-Versioned Tables to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BetterContact and MariaDB

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 MariaDB 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 applied to MariaDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

MariaDB BetterContact Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MariaDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing.

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 MariaDB records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • BetterContact: Batches capped at 100 contacts per enrichment request.
  • MariaDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.
