Why teams connect Clari and Databricks

Sync Clari into Databricks continuously and push warehouse results back onto CRM records, one two-way connection instead of two pipelines.

The CRM feeds the warehouse and the warehouse should feed the CRM: relationship data flows one way, and computed scores, segments, and customer context flow back. Most teams build the first half as a batch pipeline and never quite get to the second.

Stacksync does both with one connection. Activity (Capture), Account field extensions, Opportunity field extensions, Audit Events from Clari land in Databricks as live tables, updated within seconds, and columns computed in Databricks write back to fields in Clari. There is no separate ETL and reverse-ETL stack to stitch together and no jobs to babysit.

Common use cases

  • 01 Enrich Clari Account records with firmographic or billing data points through the ingest API in incremental mode.
  • 02 Stream Audit Events into a reporting database to monitor forecast-submission changes and user activity for compliance.
  • 03 Serve ML feature outputs computed in Databricks to production apps through a synced operational store.
  • 04 Land CRM and ERP records in Delta tables continuously so lakehouse models work from current operational data.

Common sync patterns

Cleanup that sticks

Deduplication and normalization done in Databricks can be written back, so warehouse-side cleanup actually fixes the CRM.

CRM analytics on live data

Accounts, contacts, and activity from Clari are queryable in Databricks moments after they change, so dashboards stop lagging the reality they describe.

Scores and segments back on the record

Lead scores, churn risk, or usage segments computed in Databricks appear as fields in Clari, where the people working accounts actually see them.

What you can sync between Clari and Databricks

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.

Clari objects Databricks objects How this pairing syncs
Audit Events User edits and system events exported with filtering by actor, session, and date range; read-only feed for change tracking and compliance. Views Curated read-only projections used as sync sources for downstream tools. Audit Events is specific to Clari and Views to Databricks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Forecast Exported per forecast tab and fiscal period via async jobs; includes submitted forecast calls, updates, manager adjustments, and CRM totals. Read-only. Materialized Views Precomputed results read on a schedule for reverse-ETL style syncs. Forecast is specific to Clari and Materialized Views to Databricks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Quota Quota and quota-history values exported alongside forecast data, scoped by fiscal quarter; read-only, useful for warehouse attainment reporting. Volumes Unity Catalog file storage used for staging bulk loads. Quota is specific to Clari and Volumes to Databricks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Opportunities Retrieved synchronously by ID from GET /opportunity (up to 100 IDs per call) with Clari CRM scoring and field-change history; read-only, mirroring the CRM opportunity Clari sits on. SQL Warehouses The compute endpoint a sync connects to for query execution. Opportunities is specific to Clari and SQL Warehouses to Databricks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activity (Capture) Meetings, emails, and attachments captured by Clari and mapped to accounts and opportunities; exported read-only via async activity jobs. Change Data Feed Row-level change records on Delta tables that drive incremental reads. Activity (Capture) is specific to Clari and Change Data Feed to Databricks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Account field extensions External data points written onto Account records through the ingest API in initial or incremental mode; requires an apikey plus a partnerkey. Catalogs Top level of the Unity Catalog namespace, scoping which schemas a sync can address. Account field extensions is specific to Clari and Catalogs to Databricks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Clari and Databricks

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.

Clari Databricks Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Clari for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling — reads run as asynchronous export jobs (submit export, poll job status, download results).

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

Databricks Clari Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Databricks are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Delta Lake Change Data Feed for row-level changes.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Clari: Max 3 concurrent exports and roughly 1000 exports per rolling 30-day org window; ingestion capped at 100 requests/sec per API token.
  • Databricks: Throughput depends on the SQL warehouse size; API calls are subject to workspace rate limits.

How the Clari and Databricks connectors work

Clari

Integration surface
REST APIs on api.clari.com - Export API (v4, asynchronous bulk jobs for forecast, quota, activity, and audit) and Ingest API (v2, field extensions); Opportunity reads are synchronous via GET /opportunity
Authentication
API token in the apikey header, generated per user in Settings; ingest/partner endpoints also require a partnerkey header, and Copilot endpoints require X-Api-Key and X-Api-Password
Change detection
Polling — reads run as asynchronous export jobs (submit export, poll job status, download results); the ingest API supports an incremental mode for regular field updates. No webhooks.
