Why teams connect BetterContact and MotherDuck

Get the data locked inside BetterContact into MotherDuck as live tables, and send results back where BetterContact can use them, without writing a pipeline.

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

Whatever BetterContact is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

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 Share curated, synced datasets with other teams through read-only database shares
  • 04 Land CRM and operational database records in MotherDuck so a small team gets warehouse-style analytics without cluster management

Common sync patterns

Where BetterContact accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in MotherDuck sync back onto records in BetterContact, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in MotherDuck preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of BetterContact or gets changed inside it.

Analytics on BetterContact's data

Records and events from BetterContact land in MotherDuck as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

What you can sync between BetterContact and MotherDuck

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 MotherDuck objects How this pairing syncs
Enriched Contact Verified work emails and mobile numbers with job title, LinkedIn profile, location, and skills. Tables The main landing target for synced records and source for analysis. Enriched Contact is specific to BetterContact and Tables to MotherDuck — 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. Views Modeled projections used as outbound sync sources. Company is specific to BetterContact and Views to MotherDuck — 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. Database Shares Read-only copies of a database shared with other users or teams. Lead Finder Search is specific to BetterContact and Database Shares to MotherDuck — 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. Attached Local DuckDB Databases Local files attached alongside cloud databases for hybrid queries. Enrichment Request is specific to BetterContact and Attached Local DuckDB Databases to MotherDuck — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BetterContact and MotherDuck

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

MotherDuck BetterContact Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MotherDuck for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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 MotherDuck records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • BetterContact: Batches capped at 100 contacts per enrichment request.
  • MotherDuck: Subject to the platform's compute and concurrency limits rather than per-request API rate limits.
