Why teams connect Citus and Twenty CRM

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

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.

Stacksync mirrors Notes, Custom Objects, Attachments, Workspace Members from Twenty CRM into Views, Sequences, Distributed tables, Reference tables in Citus with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Twenty CRM with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror support tickets or tasks between Twenty and an operations tool.
  • 02 Run a continuous sync from a legacy CRM into Twenty during a migration so both systems stay usable through cutover.
  • 03 Write CRM or billing records into reference tables so distributed queries can join operational context locally on every node.
  • 04 Use a Citus cluster as the scalable operational store behind a customer-facing app while syncing summaries back to internal tools.

Common sync patterns

What you can sync between Citus and Twenty CRM

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 Twenty CRM objects How this pairing syncs
Sequences Key generators that matter when external writes must not collide with application inserts. Notes Free-form notes attached to records, useful for mirroring activity from other tools. Sequences is specific to Citus and Notes to Twenty CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Distributed tables Tables sharded across worker nodes by a distribution column; the main sync target for large datasets. Custom Objects User-defined objects created in Twenty's data model settings, addressable through the same APIs as standard objects. Distributed tables is specific to Citus and Custom Objects to Twenty CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reference tables Small lookup tables replicated to every node, synced like ordinary Postgres tables. Attachments Files linked to records. Reference tables is specific to Citus and Attachments to Twenty CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Local tables Coordinator-only tables that behave exactly like standard PostgreSQL tables. Workspace Members User accounts used for record ownership and assignment mapping. Local tables is specific to Citus and Workspace Members to Twenty CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Standard Postgres namespaces used to scope what a sync user can read and write. People Individual contact records with emails, phones, and company links; a core target for contact syncs. Schemas is specific to Citus and People to Twenty CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Curated projections over distributed data, often used as read-only sync sources. Companies Account-level records that group people and opportunities. Views is specific to Citus and Companies to Twenty CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Citus and Twenty CRM

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.

Citus Twenty CRM Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Citus are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. PostgreSQL logical decoding / CDC, with caveats: changes to distributed tables occur on worker shards, so CDC setup differs from single-node Postgres.

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

Twenty CRM Citus Sub-second propagation

DetectionTwenty CRM notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks on record create, update, and delete events, or polling on record update timestamps.

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