Why teams connect BetterContact and SQL Server

Mirror BetterContact's data into SQL Server 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 SQL Server, so SQL Server 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 SQL Server.

Stacksync mirrors Enriched Contact, Company, Lead Finder Search, Enrichment Request from BetterContact into Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views in SQL Server 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 Feed outbound sequencing tools with verified contact data before campaigns launch.
  • 02 Validate catch-all email addresses before sending to protect sender domain reputation.
  • 03 Bi-directional sync between SQL Server rows and CRM objects so .NET line-of-business apps and sales tools share one dataset
  • 04 Expose SaaS records as SQL Server tables that existing SSRS reports and internal apps can query

Common sync patterns

Read BetterContact with a query

Records from BetterContact are ordinary rows in SQL Server; 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 SQL Server 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 SQL Server, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between BetterContact and SQL Server

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 SQL Server objects How this pairing syncs
Enrichment Request Batch or single submissions of up to 100 contacts per request for waterfall enrichment. Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Enrichment Request is specific to BetterContact and Tables to SQL Server — 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. Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Enriched Contact is specific to BetterContact and Views to SQL Server — 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. Columns Field-level mapping targets with T-SQL types. Company is specific to BetterContact and Columns to SQL Server — 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. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling. Lead Finder Search is specific to BetterContact and Primary and Unique Keys to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BetterContact and SQL Server

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

SQL Server BetterContact Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SQL Server are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SQL Server Native Change Data Capture (CDC).

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 SQL Server records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • BetterContact: Batches capped at 100 contacts per enrichment request.
  • SQL Server: No API rate limits; throughput depends on instance resources, licensing tier, and connection limits.
