Why teams connect BigQuery and Demandbase

Put modeled data to work and measure what it drives: BigQuery and Demandbase keep contacts, audiences, and campaign results in step in real time, in both directions.

BigQuery is where your team models customers, product usage, and revenue into trusted tables; Demandbase runs the campaigns, audiences, and messages that reach those people. The two overlap wherever the same person, account, or segment matters to both, and when the bridge between them is a nightly export or a hand-built list, marketing targets stale data while analytics never sees what the campaign returned.

Stacksync syncs Datasets, Projects, Tables, Partitioned tables in BigQuery with Change Subscriptions, Accounts, Opportunities, People (Persons) in Demandbase field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — a computed score or segment can flow out to Demandbase while sends, opens, and conversions flow back to BigQuery — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed ML feature tables in BigQuery from operational systems on a continuous schedule
  • 02 Land CRM and ERP records in BigQuery continuously so dashboards reflect business systems without nightly batch jobs
  • 03 Subscribe to Demandbase company and person change webhooks - firmographic updates, M&A, and leadership or employment changes - and land them in an operational store for real-time account alerts.
  • 04 Push warehouse-computed account scores, custom fields, and audiences into Demandbase via the Data Import API so ABM campaigns and sales plays target the segments the warehouse defines.

Common sync patterns

Enrich records with warehouse context

Product-usage counts, plan tier, region, or account owner computed in BigQuery appear on the matching record in Demandbase, so targeting, routing, and personalization use up-to-date context.

Activate a modeled audience

A segment or score built in BigQuery — high-intent accounts, churn risk, a lifetime-value tier — lands as an audience or contact field in Demandbase, so campaigns target the people your data actually points to instead of a static export.

Keep the contact and audience list current

New and updated contacts, leads, or audience members flow between BigQuery and Demandbase, so the marketing audience reflects the people in your warehouse and corrections propagate instead of the two sides drifting apart.

What you can sync between BigQuery and Demandbase

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.

BigQuery objects Demandbase objects How this pairing syncs
Projects Connection scope: the service account grants access per project. Activities Engagement and custom activity records (web, campaign, intent); exported via Data Export and pushed in through the Data Import API using custom activity types. Projects is specific to BigQuery and Activities to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The syncable unit: only tables can be synced per the Stacksync docs. Campaigns Marketing campaign records and creative assets exported through the Data Export API; read-only reporting feed. Tables is specific to BigQuery and Campaigns to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Partitioned tables Synced like regular tables; partition columns map to target fields. Account & Person Lists (Audiences) Named account and person segments exported via Data Export; custom audiences pushed into Demandbase through the Data Import API. Read and write. Partitioned tables is specific to BigQuery and Account & Person Lists (Audiences) to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Clustered tables Supported; clustering is transparent to the sync. Company Details (B2B enrichment) Firmographics, technographics, competitors, and corporate family tree fetched by domain or name via the B2B Company Search and Details endpoints; read-only enrichment. Clustered tables is specific to BigQuery and Company Details (B2B enrichment) to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Datasets Organizational container — you pick which dataset’s tables to sync. Change Subscriptions Company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and DB person employment subscriptions delivered as webhook alerts with a signing secret; the real-time change feed. Datasets is specific to BigQuery and Change Subscriptions to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BigQuery and Demandbase

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.

BigQuery Demandbase Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in BigQuery are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Real-time notification service deployed into your Google Cloud project: Eventarc ("a notification service that enables real-time updates to happen").

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Demandbase through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Demandbase BigQuery Sub-second propagation

DetectionDemandbase notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Subscription API webhooks - company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and person employment-change alerts to a configurable URL.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to BigQuery as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • BigQuery: Subject to Google Cloud quotas on queries, DML, and streaming; DML is supported but the platform favors append-heavy batch and streaming loads over row-at-a-time writes.
  • Demandbase: Credit-based per API call; bulk jobs accept up to 10,000 records per submission, CSV uploads up to 5GB, and result URLs stay valid 24 hours; subscription alerts page up to 5,000 entities and list endpoints up to 100 per page.
