Why teams connect BetterContact and Neo4j

Mirror BetterContact's data into Neo4j 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 Neo4j, so Neo4j 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 Neo4j.

Stacksync mirrors Enriched Contact, Company, Lead Finder Search, Enrichment Request from BetterContact into Nodes, Relationships, Properties, Labels in Neo4j 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 Mirror CRM accounts and contacts into a graph to model buying-group and referral relationships.
  • 04 Sync product catalog and order history into Neo4j to power recommendation queries.

Common sync patterns

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.

Read BetterContact with a query

Records from BetterContact are ordinary rows in Neo4j; 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 Neo4j and Stacksync propagates the change into BetterContact, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between BetterContact and Neo4j

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 Neo4j objects How this pairing syncs
Lead Finder Search Prospect discovery by people and company filters, returning enriched lead profiles. Relationships Typed, directed edges that carry the connections syncs exist to model. Lead Finder Search is specific to BetterContact and Relationships to Neo4j — 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. Properties Key-value attributes on both nodes and relationships, mapped from source fields. Enrichment Request is specific to BetterContact and Properties to Neo4j — 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. Labels Node type markers used to map source tables or objects onto the graph. Enriched Contact is specific to BetterContact and Labels to Neo4j — 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. Indexes & Constraints Uniqueness constraints and indexes that make MERGE-based upserts reliable and fast. Company is specific to BetterContact and Indexes & Constraints to Neo4j — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BetterContact and Neo4j

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 Neo4j 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 Neo4j through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Neo4j BetterContact Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Neo4j are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Neo4j Change Data Capture on Enterprise and Aura streams graph changes.

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 Neo4j records.

Rate-limit considerations

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