Why teams connect Cvent and TiDB

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

Stacksync mirrors Surveys, Budgets, Events, Contacts from Cvent into Columns, Indexes, Sequences, Databases in TiDB 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 TiDB, 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 Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics
  • 02 Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas
  • 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

Engagement and results next to the customer

Opens, clicks, sends, RSVPs, or ad activity from Cvent land in TiDB 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 TiDB, 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 TiDB

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 TiDB objects How this pairing syncs
Sessions Agenda items within an event; listed or created through the API and synced so session-level attendance feeds reporting tables. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Sessions is specific to Cvent and Tables to TiDB — 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. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Speakers is specific to Cvent and Views to TiDB — 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. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Exhibitors is specific to Cvent and Columns to TiDB — 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. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. Surveys is specific to Cvent and Indexes to TiDB — 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. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Budgets is specific to Cvent and Sequences to TiDB — 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. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. Events is specific to Cvent and Databases to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cvent and TiDB

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

TiDB Cvent Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TiDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks.

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.
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.
