Why teams connect Cvent and InterSystems IRIS

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

Stacksync mirrors Attendees and Registrations, Sessions, Speakers, Exhibitors from Cvent into Tables, Views, Schemas, Persistent Classes in InterSystems IRIS 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 InterSystems IRIS, 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 Sync operational tables in IRIS bi-directionally with a CRM so business teams work on IRIS-backed data without SQL access
  • 02 Consolidate IRIS data with other databases in an analytics warehouse for cross-system reporting
  • 03 Read Budgets and event financials into an ERP or finance database to reconcile planned versus actual event spend.
  • 04 Write Attendees and Registrations into Cvent from external marketing signup flows, then read attendance status back into a warehouse.

Common sync patterns

Query Cvent like a database

Contacts, leads, audiences, and campaign metrics from Cvent live in InterSystems IRIS as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data and reachable without touching the vendor API.

Build audiences from your own data

Segments computed in InterSystems IRIS 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 InterSystems IRIS beside the matching customer record, ready for reporting and revenue attribution.

What you can sync between Cvent and InterSystems IRIS

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 InterSystems IRIS objects How this pairing syncs
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. Namespaces Namespaces partition databases and determine the connection context for integrations. Speakers is specific to Cvent and Namespaces to InterSystems IRIS — 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. Stored Procedures Server-side logic callable over SQL supports controlled writes and transformations. Exhibitors is specific to Cvent and Stored Procedures to InterSystems IRIS — 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. Tables Relational projections of stored data are the primary read/write surface for SQL-based syncs. Surveys is specific to Cvent and Tables to InterSystems IRIS — 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. Views SQL views expose curated slices of data for outbound replication. Budgets is specific to Cvent and Views to InterSystems IRIS — 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. Schemas Schema organization scopes which tables a sync connection can see. Events is specific to Cvent and Schemas to InterSystems IRIS — 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. Persistent Classes Object-model classes project to tables, so class data is reachable through SQL. Contacts is specific to Cvent and Persistent Classes to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cvent and InterSystems IRIS

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

InterSystems IRIS Cvent Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls InterSystems IRIS for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling (timestamp or query-based).

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.
  • InterSystems IRIS: Constrained by database resources rather than published API rate limits.
