Why teams connect Chargebee and Iterable

Put revenue reality behind every campaign: Chargebee and Iterable share the same customers, contacts, and billing status in real time, in both directions.

Chargebee records the money — who pays, how much, and whether they are current; Iterable decides who hears from the business and what they hear. The two overlap wherever the same customers and contacts matter to both, and when that overlap is bridged by CSV exports or an overnight batch, campaigns target on stale billing data and finance works from lists marketing has already changed underneath it.

Stacksync syncs Customers, Subscriptions, Invoices, Credit notes in Chargebee with Commerce / Purchases, Export data, Users, Events in Iterable field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — finance keeps the revenue and payment truth, marketing keeps consent and engagement — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Trigger dunning and churn-risk workflows by syncing failed transactions into support and CS tools.
  • 02 Sync subscription status, plan, and MRR-relevant fields into the CRM so sales and success see billing state on the account.
  • 03 Two-way sync User profiles and their custom data fields between Iterable and a Postgres database or CRM so attributes and subscription state stay aligned in both systems.
  • 04 Push warehouse or CRM audience segments into Iterable as Users via bulkUpdate (up to 1000 per call) and subscribe them to static Lists to drive campaigns.

Common sync patterns

Where Chargebee tracks lifecycle state: keep Iterable current

Trial, renewal, churn, or payment state from Chargebee updates the contact in Iterable, so lifecycle campaigns and audience suppression run on current billing reality.

Consent and contact details stay aligned

Email, phone, address, and opt-out flags kept in either system stay consistent in the other, so every send and record honors the latest preferences.

Revenue and billing signals reach the audience

Plan tier, spend, or payment status from Chargebee lands on the matching record in Iterable, so segments and targeting reflect who actually pays and how much.

What you can sync between Chargebee and Iterable

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.

Chargebee objects Iterable objects How this pairing syncs
Events The change log resource that records every state change for incremental sync. Events Custom and system events tracked via /api/events/track and /api/events/trackBulk (up to 1000 events per call); a single user's event history is read via GET /api/events/{email}. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Payment sources Stored payment methods; usually read-only metadata in syncs for compliance reasons. Lists Static subscriber lists; read via GET /api/lists and /api/lists/getUsers, with users added or removed via /api/lists/subscribe and /api/lists/unsubscribe to control who receives a send. Payment sources is specific to Chargebee and Lists to Iterable — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Transactions Payment attempts and outcomes synced for dunning and finance workflows. Catalogs Named catalogs of items (products, content) used for personalization and recommendations; items upserted and read via /api/catalogs/{catalogName}/items. Transactions is specific to Chargebee and Catalogs to Iterable — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Coupons Discount definitions and redemptions used in deal-desk and reporting syncs. Commerce / Purchases Purchase and cart activity tracked via /api/commerce/trackPurchase and /api/commerce/updateCart, feeding revenue attribution and abandoned-cart journeys. Coupons is specific to Chargebee and Commerce / Purchases to Iterable — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Billing accounts matched to CRM accounts or users by email or external ID. Export data Historical user and event records pulled through the Export API (/api/export/data.json, data.csv, and userEvents) across data types like emailSend, emailOpen, emailClick, emailBounce, purchase, and customEvent. Customers is specific to Chargebee and Export data to Iterable — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Subscriptions Recurring billing state (plan, term, status) synced to CRM and product databases. Users User profiles keyed by email or userId with custom data fields; upserted via POST /api/users/update, read via GET /api/users/{email} or getByUserId, bulk-written via /api/users/bulkUpdate (up to 1000 users per call), and deleted or GDPR-forgotten. Subscriptions is specific to Chargebee and Users to Iterable — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Chargebee and Iterable

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.

Chargebee Iterable Sub-second propagation

DetectionChargebee notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for all major object events, plus a pollable Events resource that records every change.

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

Iterable Chargebee Sub-second propagation

DetectionIterable notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. System Webhooks push email/SMS/push/in-app and custom events (send, open, click, bounce, complaint, unsubscribe) as JSON POSTs in near real time.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Chargebee: Subject to plan-based API rate limits enforced per site.
  • Iterable: Limits are per endpoint and per project/key; exceeding one returns HTTP 429, so exponential backoff is advised. Event tracking allows far higher volume than metadata endpoints like campaigns/templates, and the Export API is throttled more tightly. Since Nov 10, 2025, passing the key in the query string or body is rate-limited more strictly than the Api-Key header.
