Why teams connect Cvent and IBM Db2

Give your team Cvent's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in IBM Db2: 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 Db2, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Contacts, Attendees and Registrations, Sessions, Speakers from Cvent into Tablespaces, Databases, Schemas, Tables in IBM Db2 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 Db2, 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 Keep reference and master data aligned between Db2 and newer cloud databases during modernization projects.
  • 02 Feed changes captured from Db2 logs into downstream event pipelines.
  • 03 Sync Sessions and Speakers into a content database or agenda app so schedule and speaker changes propagate without manual re-entry.
  • 04 Read Budgets and event financials into an ERP or finance database to reconcile planned versus actual event spend.

Common sync patterns

Engagement and results next to the customer

Opens, clicks, sends, RSVPs, or ad activity from Cvent land in IBM Db2 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 Db2, so scoring, jobs, and notifications run in the tooling your team already uses.

Keep contact attributes consistent

Lifecycle stage, subscription status, or plan maintained on either side stays current on the other, ending exports and dual data entry.

What you can sync between Cvent and IBM Db2

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 Db2 objects How this pairing syncs
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. Stored Procedures Existing business logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Attendees and Registrations is specific to Cvent and Stored Procedures to IBM Db2 — 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. Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows. Sessions is specific to Cvent and Sequences to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Speakers Speaker records tied to an event; synced two-way with a speaker database or CMS, with an updatedDate on each record for incremental pulls. Tablespaces Physical storage layout that operators consider when adding synced tables. Speakers is specific to Cvent and Tablespaces to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Exhibitors Exhibitor and sponsor records; synced to a CRM or database to track booth, sponsorship, and lead-capture data per event. Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses. Exhibitors is specific to Cvent and Databases to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Surveys Survey definitions and responses; read out to a warehouse for post-event feedback analysis alongside attendance data. Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects. Surveys is specific to Cvent and Schemas to IBM Db2 — 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. Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases. Budgets is specific to Cvent and Tables to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cvent and IBM Db2

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 Db2 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 Db2 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

IBM Db2 Cvent Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Db2 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed.

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 Db2: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings.
