Why teams connect Bingads and IBM AS/400

Give your team Bingads's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in IBM AS/400: query them with SQL, push audiences built from your own data back to Bingads, and skip the marketing API.

Bingads holds the people, audiences, and campaign activity that marketing runs on, but that data sits behind interfaces built for marketers, not for your internal systems. Engineers and analysts who need contacts, list membership, or engagement, for reporting, attribution, or product logic, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it forever. Meanwhile the customer and usage data marketers want for targeting already lives in IBM AS/400, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Ads, Keywords & Negative Keywords, Budgets & Bid Strategies, Audiences & Remarketing Lists from Bingads into Data queues, Libraries, Physical files (tables), Logical files (views) in IBM AS/400 field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Marketing records become rows your code can query and join with product and customer data; audiences and attributes computed in IBM AS/400, from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Bingads to drive campaigns and ads, with Bingads kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed shipment and invoice data from the AS/400 into logistics and finance tools in near real time.
  • 02 Expose AS/400 order, inventory, and item master data to modern SaaS tools without rewriting green-screen applications.
  • 03 Sync shared budgets and automated bid strategies so finance-approved spend and bids in an internal tool apply to live Microsoft Advertising campaigns.
  • 04 Pull performance Reports (campaign, ad group, keyword, geographic) into Postgres or a warehouse to blend Microsoft Advertising spend and conversions with Google Ads, CRM, and revenue data.

Common sync patterns

Build audiences from your own data

Segments computed in IBM AS/400 from product usage, orders, or account status sync into Bingads as lists or audiences, so campaigns and ads target the people your data says they should.

Engagement and results next to the customer

Opens, clicks, sends, RSVPs, or ad activity from Bingads land in IBM AS/400 beside the matching customer record, ready for reporting and revenue attribution.

React to marketing changes as row changes

A new lead, form fill, or list change in Bingads arrives as a row change in IBM AS/400, so scoring, jobs, and notifications run in the tooling your team already uses.

What you can sync between Bingads and IBM AS/400

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.

Bingads objects IBM AS/400 objects How this pairing syncs
Campaigns Search, Audience, Shopping, and Performance Max campaigns with budget, status, and campaign-type settings; full create/read/update/delete through the Campaign Management service (or Bulk for scale). Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. Campaigns is specific to Bingads and Rows / records to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Ad Groups Ad groups under a campaign with bids, network and audience targeting, and status; CRUD via Campaign Management, so structure can be pushed in from a database. Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files. Ad Groups is specific to Bingads and Journals and journal receivers to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Ads Responsive search ads, expanded text ads, image and responsive ads; created and updated through Campaign Management so ad copy is managed from a source of truth. Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations. Ads is specific to Bingads and Data queues to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Keywords & Negative Keywords Bidded keywords and account/campaign/ad-group negative keywords with match types; CRUD, and the Bulk service is recommended for large keyword changes. Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Keywords & Negative Keywords is specific to Bingads and Libraries to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Budgets & Bid Strategies Shared budgets and automated bid strategies (e.g. Maximize Conversions, Target CPA); read and write so finance-approved spend and bids apply to live campaigns. Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets. Budgets & Bid Strategies is specific to Bingads and Physical files (tables) to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Audiences & Remarketing Lists Remarketing, customer-match, in-market, and similar audiences; read and create/associate to keep audience lists aligned with a CDP or CRM. Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. Audiences & Remarketing Lists is specific to Bingads and Logical files (views) to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bingads and IBM AS/400

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.

Bingads IBM AS/400 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Bingads for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks or change-data-capture.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM AS/400 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

IBM AS/400 Bingads Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM AS/400 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Journal-based CDC by reading journal receivers on journaled files.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Bingads: Service-specific throttling rather than one global limit. Ad Insight caps calls per user per minute with a 60-second sliding window at the customer level. The Bulk service caps download/upload calls and, once hit, returns 'no more bulk upload or download calls will be permitted for this account,' clearing after up to 15 minutes; Campaign Management caps entities per call, so large changes go through Bulk.
  • IBM AS/400: Bounded by system resources and subsystem configuration rather than an API quota.

How the Bingads and IBM AS/400 connectors work

Bingads

Integration surface
SOAP web services (Bing Ads API v13): Campaign Management, Bulk, Reporting, Customer Management, Customer Billing, and Ad Insight services, plus offline conversion import. SDKs for C#, Java, Python, and PHP; a Sandbox environment mirrors production.
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 (Microsoft identity platform / Azure AD) access tokens passed in the SOAP AuthenticationToken header, plus a Microsoft Advertising Developer Token that authorizes API access; calls are scoped by CustomerId and account (CustomerAccountId).
Change detection
No webhooks or change-data-capture. Reporting is asynchronous - submit a report request, poll until it completes, then download the file. Current campaign state is refreshed via scheduled Bulk downloads (full or by last-sync date) or entity list calls.
Capabilities
