Why teams connect ClickHouse and Demandbase

Put modeled data to work and measure what it drives: ClickHouse and Demandbase keep contacts, audiences, and campaign results in step in real time, in both directions.

ClickHouse is where your team models customers, product usage, and revenue into trusted tables; Demandbase runs the campaigns, audiences, and messages that reach those people. The two overlap wherever the same person, account, or segment matters to both, and when the bridge between them is a nightly export or a hand-built list, marketing targets stale data while analytics never sees what the campaign returned.

Stacksync syncs Views, Materialized views, Distributed tables, Dictionaries in ClickHouse with Campaigns, Account & Person Lists (Audiences), Company Details (B2B enrichment), Change Subscriptions in Demandbase field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — a computed score or segment can flow out to Demandbase while sends, opens, and conversions flow back to ClickHouse — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync aggregated ClickHouse query results back into operational tools, such as account-level usage metrics into a CRM.
  • 02 Consolidate logs and business records from multiple sources into MergeTree tables for retention and reporting.
  • 03 Push warehouse-computed account scores, custom fields, and audiences into Demandbase via the Data Import API so ABM campaigns and sales plays target the segments the warehouse defines.
  • 04 Enrich CRM Company and Contact records with Demandbase firmographics, technographics, and verified business emails through the B2B Company and Contact Details endpoints.

Common sync patterns

Suppression and consent stay aligned

Unsubscribes, bounces, and consent or opt-out flags held in either system propagate to the other, so no one is messaged after opting out and ClickHouse holds the current state for auditing.

Enrich records with warehouse context

Product-usage counts, plan tier, region, or account owner computed in ClickHouse appear on the matching record in Demandbase, so targeting, routing, and personalization use up-to-date context.

Activate a modeled audience

A segment or score built in ClickHouse — high-intent accounts, churn risk, a lifetime-value tier — lands as an audience or contact field in Demandbase, so campaigns target the people your data actually points to instead of a static export.

What you can sync between ClickHouse and Demandbase

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.

ClickHouse objects Demandbase objects How this pairing syncs
Databases Namespaces that group tables and scope permissions for sync users. Company Details (B2B enrichment) Firmographics, technographics, competitors, and corporate family tree fetched by domain or name via the B2B Company Search and Details endpoints; read-only enrichment. Databases is specific to ClickHouse and Company Details (B2B enrichment) to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Saved queries used as curated, read-only sync sources. Change Subscriptions Company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and DB person employment subscriptions delivered as webhook alerts with a signing secret; the real-time change feed. Views is specific to ClickHouse and Change Subscriptions to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized views Insert-time transformations that reshape incoming synced rows into aggregates. Accounts Company/account records with firmographics, intent, and Demandbase qualification and engagement scores; exported via the Data Export API and imported or updated via the Data Import API. Materialized views is specific to ClickHouse and Accounts to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Distributed tables Query-routing tables over cluster shards in self-managed deployments. Opportunities Opportunity records synced from the CRM into Demandbase; exported with calculated insights and imported or updated through the Data Import API. Read and write. Distributed tables is specific to ClickHouse and Opportunities to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dictionaries In-memory lookup structures refreshed from external sources, sometimes fed by syncs. People (Persons) Contact/person records with verified business email, title, seniority, and quality grades; fetched and matched via the B2B Contact endpoints and exported or imported. Dictionaries is specific to ClickHouse and People (Persons) to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables (MergeTree family) Columnar, append-optimized tables that serve as the destination for high-volume sync loads. Activities Engagement and custom activity records (web, campaign, intent); exported via Data Export and pushed in through the Data Import API using custom activity types. Tables (MergeTree family) is specific to ClickHouse and Activities to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between ClickHouse and Demandbase

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.

ClickHouse Demandbase Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls ClickHouse for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No log-based CDC for consumers.

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

Demandbase ClickHouse Sub-second propagation

DetectionDemandbase notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Subscription API webhooks - company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and person employment-change alerts to a configurable URL.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Demandbase: Credit-based per API call; bulk jobs accept up to 10,000 records per submission, CSV uploads up to 5GB, and result URLs stay valid 24 hours; subscription alerts page up to 5,000 entities and list endpoints up to 100 per page.

How the ClickHouse and Demandbase connectors work

ClickHouse

Integration surface
Native TCP protocol and HTTP interface; standard SQL dialect, with MySQL and PostgreSQL wire compatibility available
Authentication
Database credentials (username/password); ClickHouse Cloud issues per-service credentials over TLS
Change detection
No log-based CDC for consumers; incremental reads use polling on monotonic columns, and ClickHouse is usually the destination rather than the source
Capabilities

Demandbase

Integration surface
REST APIs (Demandbase One) - a B2B API (company/contact search, details, and match with async bulk enrichment jobs), a read-only Data Export API and a write-capable Data Import API (both async bulk jobs), and a Subscription API for webhook change alerts.
Authentication
JWT bearer tokens minted from Demandbase One API Key Sets at the platform level; each credential set expires after 8 hours and is rotated. Legacy single-user API tokens are deprecated.
Change detection
Subscription API webhooks - company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and person employment-change alerts to a configurable URL secured with a signing secret; bulk reads run as async export jobs (submit, poll, download). No log-based CDC.
