Why teams connect Bingads and IBM Db2

Give your team Bingads's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in IBM Db2: 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 Db2, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Accounts, Customers & Users, Performance Reports, Campaigns, Ad Groups from Bingads into Tablespaces, Databases, Schemas, Tables in IBM Db2 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 Db2, 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 Expose Db2 records that back core business systems to a CRM so sales and support see order or account state.
  • 02 Sync SaaS data into Db2 tables that existing enterprise applications and reports already consume.
  • 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

Keep contact attributes consistent

Lifecycle stage, subscription status, or plan maintained on either side stays current on the other, ending exports and dual data entry.

Query Bingads like a database

Contacts, leads, audiences, and campaign metrics from Bingads live in IBM Db2 as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data and reachable without touching the vendor API.

Build audiences from your own data

Segments computed in IBM Db2 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.

What you can sync between Bingads and IBM Db2

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 Db2 objects How this pairing syncs
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. Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses. Ads is specific to Bingads and Databases to IBM Db2 — 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. Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects. Keywords & Negative Keywords is specific to Bingads and Schemas to IBM Db2 — 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. Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases. Budgets & Bid Strategies is specific to Bingads and Tables to IBM Db2 — 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. Views Read-only projections often used to expose curated slices to a sync. Audiences & Remarketing Lists is specific to Bingads and Views to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Conversion Goals & Offline Conversions Conversion goals (read/create) plus ApplyOfflineConversions, which imports offline conversion events (closed deals, qualified leads) back into Microsoft Advertising to inform bidding. Indexes Support fast key lookups on sync match columns. Conversion Goals & Offline Conversions is specific to Bingads and Indexes to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Ad Extensions (Assets) Sitelink, callout, image, call, and other extensions/assets associated to campaigns and ad groups; CRUD via Campaign Management. Stored Procedures Existing business logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Ad Extensions (Assets) is specific to Bingads and Stored Procedures to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bingads and IBM Db2

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 Db2 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 Db2 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

IBM Db2 Bingads Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Db2 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed.

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 Db2: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings.

How the Bingads and IBM Db2 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.

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.
