Why teams connect Close and Dun And Bradstreet

Run Close and Dun And Bradstreet side by side with the same accounts and contacts in both, whether they serve different teams or one is replacing the other.

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

Two CRMs in one company is more common than anyone plans for: an acquisition brings its own system, regions or business units standardize differently, or a migration is under way and both are live. In every case, some of the same companies and people exist in both systems, and every day of manual double entry pushes the copies further apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push call, SMS, and email activity data into a warehouse for rep performance and outreach-cadence analysis.
  • 02 Write product usage or firmographic data from an internal database onto Close lead custom fields to prioritize follow-up.
  • 03 Poll D&B Monitoring notifications for a registered portfolio of key accounts and suppliers and update the CRM or warehouse record whenever a firmographic or risk score changes.
  • 04 Pull D&B risk and credit signals (PAYDEX, Failure Score, D&B Rating) into a warehouse for credit-risk, vendor-risk, and third-party-risk analytics.

Common sync patterns

Divisional or regional split

Where each CRM serves a different team or region, sync just the shared accounts and contacts so handoffs and cross-sell work.

Where both track pipeline: deal visibility across systems

Deal stage and value on shared accounts stay visible from either CRM.

Post-acquisition consolidation

Keep both CRMs accurate while the merged team decides on a target system, instead of freezing one and losing months of updates.

How changes propagate between Close and Dun And Bradstreet

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.

Close Dun And Bradstreet Sub-second propagation

DetectionClose notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling on date_updated fields for backfills.

DeliveryDun And Bradstreet does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Dun And Bradstreet's output flows back as field updates on the originating Close records.

Dun And Bradstreet Close Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Dun And Bradstreet for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via D&B Monitoring - register a portfolio of DUNS and pull change notices from the notifications endpoint (retained ~60 days).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Close: Subject to per-endpoint rate limits communicated in response headers.
  • Dun And Bradstreet: Per-contract transactions-per-second cap plus weekly/monthly/yearly quotas; exceeding TPS returns HTTP 429 with error 0045/0046 (0047 on spike arrest). Quotas reset on UTC boundaries.
