Why teams connect Clari and Microsoft Power Bi

Put live Clari data behind every dashboard and cohort in Microsoft Power Bi, and write the segments and scores Microsoft Power Bi computes back onto the Clari record — one connection, not a nightly export.

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

Microsoft Power Bi turns data into dashboards, cohorts, and metrics; Clari is where customers, contacts, deals, and activity actually live and change. The two meet wherever a number is really about a specific account, segment, or stage — yet most teams feed the CRM into analytics as a nightly extract or a hand-maintained connector, so the reporting lags the business and can't be sliced by the customers and segments that matter.

Stacksync syncs Forecast, Quota, Opportunities, Activity (Capture) from Clari into Microsoft Power Bi field by field and within seconds, so every dashboard and cohort runs on current records instead of a stale copy. Because the connection runs both ways, the cohorts, scores, and metrics computed in Microsoft Power Bi write back to fields in Clari, landing where the people working accounts can see them. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Users and workspace access for periodic access reviews reconciled against an HR or Microsoft Entra ID source of record.
  • 02 Mirror Workspaces, Reports, Dashboards, and Dataset metadata into a catalog database so teams discover Power BI content from a central index.
  • 03 Write warehouse-computed health scores and usage metrics onto Clari Opportunity records as field extensions via the ingest API so deal reviews show product signals.
  • 04 Enrich Clari Account records with firmographic or billing data points through the ingest API in incremental mode.

Common sync patterns

A record that outlives edits in the CRM

A continuously synced copy of Clari's records and activity in Microsoft Power Bi keeps a queryable history even as records change or age out of the CRM.

Customer context in Microsoft Power Bi

Accounts, contacts, deals, and activity from Clari sync into Microsoft Power Bi, so metrics and dashboards group by real customers, segments, and stage instead of anonymous IDs.

Report on live CRM data

New records and status changes in Clari appear in Microsoft Power Bi within seconds, so dashboards and cohorts track the current pipeline rather than last night's export.

What you can sync between Clari and Microsoft Power Bi

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 Microsoft Power Bi objects How this pairing syncs
Forecast Exported per forecast tab and fiscal period via async jobs; includes submitted forecast calls, updates, manager adjustments, and CRM totals. Read-only. Datasources and Gateways The connections behind datasets and dataflows and the on-premises gateways serving them, read via REST for lineage and dependency mapping. Forecast is specific to Clari and Datasources and Gateways to Microsoft Power Bi — 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. Refresh History Dataset refresh runs read via GET /datasets/{id}/refreshes, including status, type, and timing, to alert on failed or slow scheduled refreshes. Quota is specific to Clari and Refresh History to Microsoft Power Bi — 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. Workspaces (Groups) Containers for content read via GET /groups (tenant-wide via GET /admin/groups); mirrored to reproduce the tenant's content hierarchy in a catalog. Opportunities is specific to Clari and Workspaces (Groups) to Microsoft Power Bi — 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. Activity Events (Audit Log) Admin audit log of user and content actions read via GET /admin/activityevents; loaded for security, access, and usage reporting across the tenant. Activity (Capture) is specific to Clari and Activity Events (Audit Log) to Microsoft Power Bi — 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. Users and Access Workspace users and roles read via GET /groups/{id}/users or the admin scanner APIs; read for access reviews and identity reconciliation against an IdP. Account field extensions is specific to Clari and Users and Access to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Opportunity field extensions Warehouse-computed fields pushed onto Opportunity records via the ingest API; up to 100 records per request or 10MB bulk files. Datasets (Semantic Models) Tabular models behind reports; their rows are read with DAX via POST datasets/{id}/executeQueries, and datasource and refresh metadata via REST list endpoints. Opportunity field extensions is specific to Clari and Datasets (Semantic Models) to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Clari and Microsoft Power Bi

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 Microsoft Power Bi 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).

DeliveryMicrosoft Power Bi does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Microsoft Power Bi's output flows back as field updates on the originating Clari records.

Microsoft Power Bi Clari Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Microsoft Power Bi for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Pull-based: no webhooks or change-data-capture.

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.
  • Microsoft Power Bi: Endpoints throttle per user and per app and return HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Execute Queries allows up to 120 requests per minute per user and caps a query at 100,000 rows (or 1,000,000 values) and 15 MB; admin scanner metadata APIs are limited to about 500 requests per hour with 16 concurrent.
