Why teams connect Cvent and IBM AS/400

Give your team Cvent's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in IBM AS/400: query them with SQL, push audiences built from your own data back to Cvent, and skip the marketing API.

Cvent holds the people, audiences, and campaign activity that marketing runs on, but that data sits behind interfaces built for marketers, not for your internal systems. Engineers and analysts who need contacts, list membership, or engagement, for reporting, attribution, or product logic, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it forever. Meanwhile the customer and usage data marketers want for targeting already lives in IBM AS/400, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Sessions, Speakers, Exhibitors, Surveys from Cvent into Members, Rows / records, Journals and journal receivers, Data queues in IBM AS/400 field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Marketing records become rows your code can query and join with product and customer data; audiences and attributes computed in IBM AS/400, from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Cvent to drive campaigns and ads, with Cvent kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed shipment and invoice data from the AS/400 into logistics and finance tools in near real time.
  • 02 Expose AS/400 order, inventory, and item master data to modern SaaS tools without rewriting green-screen applications.
  • 03 Write Attendees and Registrations into Cvent from external marketing signup flows, then read attendance status back into a warehouse.
  • 04 Sync Sessions and Speakers into a content database or agenda app so schedule and speaker changes propagate without manual re-entry.

Common sync patterns

Build audiences from your own data

Segments computed in IBM AS/400 from product usage, orders, or account status sync into Cvent as lists or audiences, so campaigns and ads target the people your data says they should.

Engagement and results next to the customer

Opens, clicks, sends, RSVPs, or ad activity from Cvent land in IBM AS/400 beside the matching customer record, ready for reporting and revenue attribution.

React to marketing changes as row changes

A new lead, form fill, or list change in Cvent arrives as a row change in IBM AS/400, so scoring, jobs, and notifications run in the tooling your team already uses.

What you can sync between Cvent and IBM AS/400

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.

Cvent objects IBM AS/400 objects How this pairing syncs
Surveys Survey definitions and responses; read out to a warehouse for post-event feedback analysis alongside attendance data. Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Surveys is specific to Cvent and Libraries to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Budgets Event budget line items; read into a finance database or ERP to reconcile planned versus actual event spend. Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets. Budgets is specific to Cvent and Physical files (tables) to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Events Top-level event containers created and updated through the Events endpoints; read out for reporting and written to provision events from an external system. Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. Events is specific to Cvent and Logical files (views) to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Account-wide people database spanning every event; synced two-way with a CRM or warehouse as the shared audience source of truth via the Create Contacts endpoint. Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs. Contacts is specific to Cvent and Members to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attendees and Registrations Per-event registrants; written in from CRM or marketing signup flows via POST /ea/attendees and read back out to a warehouse for attendance and registration-status reporting. Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. Attendees and Registrations is specific to Cvent and Rows / records to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sessions Agenda items within an event; listed or created through the API and synced so session-level attendance feeds reporting tables. Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files. Sessions is specific to Cvent and Journals and journal receivers to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cvent and IBM AS/400

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.

Cvent IBM AS/400 Sub-second propagation

DetectionCvent notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Per-event webhooks push attendee, registration, session, and speaker changes.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM AS/400 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

IBM AS/400 Cvent Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM AS/400 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Journal-based CDC by reading journal receivers on journaled files.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Cvent: Responses carry X-RateLimit-Limit/Remaining/Reset headers; a 429 signals either the per-second limit (retry with exponential backoff from ~2s) or the daily quota (up to 500,000 calls/day on the Premium tier, 1,000/day on Free) exhausted until midnight UTC.
  • IBM AS/400: Bounded by system resources and subsystem configuration rather than an API quota.
