Why teams connect BetterContact and MongoDB

Mirror BetterContact's data into MongoDB 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 MongoDB, so MongoDB 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 MongoDB.

Stacksync mirrors Lead Finder Search, Enrichment Request, Enriched Contact, Company from BetterContact into Documents, Embedded documents and arrays, Indexes, Views in MongoDB 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 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 Sync MongoDB collections with a CRM so customer documents written by the application appear as CRM records, and CRM edits flow back as document updates.
  • 04 Replicate operational MongoDB data into a relational database, flattening nested documents into normalized tables for SQL reporting.

Common sync patterns

Automate BetterContact from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in MongoDB 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 MongoDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

What you can sync between BetterContact and MongoDB

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 MongoDB objects How this pairing syncs
Enrichment Request Batch or single submissions of up to 100 contacts per request for waterfall enrichment. Databases Logical groupings of collections that scope a sync connection. Enrichment Request is specific to BetterContact and Databases to MongoDB — 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. Collections The table-like sync unit; each collection maps to a table or object in the paired system. Enriched Contact is specific to BetterContact and Collections to MongoDB — 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. Documents BSON records created, updated, and deleted during syncs, keyed by _id. Company is specific to BetterContact and Documents to MongoDB — 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. Embedded documents and arrays Nested structures that syncs flatten or map to related records in relational targets. Lead Finder Search is specific to BetterContact and Embedded documents and arrays to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BetterContact and MongoDB

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 MongoDB 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 MongoDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

MongoDB BetterContact Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MongoDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. MongoDB oplog and change streams (requires the database to run as a replica set — even single-node).

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 MongoDB records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • BetterContact: Batches capped at 100 contacts per enrichment request.
