Why teams connect Citus and Clearbit

Treat Clearbit like part of your database: its records live in Citus as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Clearbit is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Citus, so Citus always reflects the current state of Clearbit — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in Citus, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Common use cases

  • Enrich new CRM leads with person and company attributes as they are created, keyed by email and domain.
  • Append technographic fields to account records in the warehouse for ICP scoring models.
  • Sync high-volume event or tenant data from a Citus cluster into a warehouse for cross-tenant analytics.
  • Write CRM or billing records into reference tables so distributed queries can join operational context locally on every node.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Clearbit become tables in Citus you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Citus sync onto the matching records in Clearbit, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Clearbit API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between Citus and Clearbit

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.

Citus objects Clearbit objects
Local tables Coordinator-only tables that behave exactly like standard PostgreSQL tables. Name-to-domain lookups Company name resolution used to normalize account records before enrichment.
Schemas Standard Postgres namespaces used to scope what a sync user can read and write. Enrichment attributes The firmographic and technographic fields appended to destination records.
Views Curated projections over distributed data, often used as read-only sync sources. Companies Firmographic profiles looked up by domain and merged into account records.
Sequences Key generators that matter when external writes must not collide with application inserts. Persons Individual profiles looked up by email and used to enrich contacts and leads.
Distributed tables Tables sharded across worker nodes by a distribution column; the main sync target for large datasets. Reveal matches IP-to-company resolutions used to identify anonymous website traffic.
