Why teams connect BetterContact and Pigment

Connect the financial records in Pigment with the work happening in BetterContact, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.

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

Pigment holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. BetterContact is where part of the day-to-day work happens, and that work often involves the same customers and transactions. Without a live connection, the two drift apart, and people end up answering questions from stale copies.

There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

Common use cases

  • 01 Export approved budgets and forecasts back to a warehouse or Postgres for downstream reporting.
  • 02 Keep dimension lists such as departments and cost centers consistent with master data in the ERP.
  • 03 Backfill a warehouse of contacts with waterfall enrichment across 20+ data providers.
  • 04 Feed outbound sequencing tools with verified contact data before campaigns launch.

Common sync patterns

Where BetterContact tracks people or companies: one identity

A customer's details updated in either system update the other, so finance and the rest of the business stop maintaining two versions of the same customer.

Where BetterContact handles customer conversations: billing context in view

Front-line teams see invoice and payment status from Pigment next to the customer they are helping, without logging into the finance system.

Where BetterContact collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Pigment

Payment and charge activity flows into Pigment as it happens, so the books reflect reality without manual reconciliation.

How changes propagate between BetterContact and Pigment

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

Pigment BetterContact Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pigment for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No change feed.

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 Pigment records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • BetterContact: Batches capped at 100 contacts per enrichment request.
  • Pigment: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
