Why teams connect Databricks and Gong

Sync Gong into Databricks continuously and push warehouse results back onto CRM records, one two-way connection instead of two pipelines.

The CRM feeds the warehouse and the warehouse should feed the CRM: relationship data flows one way, and computed scores, segments, and customer context flow back. Most teams build the first half as a batch pipeline and never quite get to the second.

Stacksync does both with one connection. CRM Objects, Library, Data Privacy (Erasure), Calls from Gong land in Databricks as live tables, updated within seconds, and columns computed in Databricks write back to fields in Gong. There is no separate ETL and reverse-ETL stack to stitch together and no jobs to babysit.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Interaction Stats such as talk ratios and per-rep activity into a coaching database for engagement and rep-performance dashboards.
  • 02 Import externally recorded dialer or web-conference calls into Gong via POST /v2/calls so they get transcribed and analyzed like native Gong calls.
  • 03 Land CRM and ERP records in Delta tables continuously so lakehouse models work from current operational data.
  • 04 Use Change Data Feed to propagate only changed rows to downstream apps instead of full-table scans.

Common sync patterns

Cleanup that sticks

Deduplication and normalization done in Databricks can be written back, so warehouse-side cleanup actually fixes the CRM.

CRM analytics on live data

Accounts, contacts, and activity from Gong are queryable in Databricks moments after they change, so dashboards stop lagging the reality they describe.

Scores and segments back on the record

Lead scores, churn risk, or usage segments computed in Databricks appear as fields in Gong, where the people working accounts actually see them.

What you can sync between Databricks and Gong

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.

Databricks objects Gong objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Group tables and views; syncs typically target a dedicated schema per source system. Calls Retrieved via POST /v2/calls/extensive with participants, topics, trackers, scorecards, and media URLs, filtered by fromDateTime/toDateTime; external recordings are also imported via POST /v2/calls with media uploaded via PUT /v2/calls/{id}/media. Read and write. Schemas is specific to Databricks and Calls to Gong — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Delta Tables The primary read and write target; operational data lands here as managed or external tables. Transcripts Speaker-attributed, timestamped sentences retrieved via POST /v2/calls/transcript for one or more callIds; available only after asynchronous processing completes. Read-only. Delta Tables is specific to Databricks and Transcripts to Gong — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Curated read-only projections used as sync sources for downstream tools. Users Gong users and team members with roles, titles, email, and settings, read via GET /v2/users to map call owners and participants to CRM and warehouse identities. Read-only. Views is specific to Databricks and Users to Gong — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed results read on a schedule for reverse-ETL style syncs. Interaction Stats (Activity) Aggregated talk/listen ratios, interaction stats, and day-by-day user activity retrieved via POST /v2/stats endpoints; read out for coaching and engagement reporting. Read-only. Materialized Views is specific to Databricks and Interaction Stats (Activity) to Gong — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Volumes Unity Catalog file storage used for staging bulk loads. Trackers & Scorecards Keyword and topic tracker definitions plus coaching scorecards, including answered scorecards, read from Settings as coaching and deal-risk signals. Read-only. Volumes is specific to Databricks and Trackers & Scorecards to Gong — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
SQL Warehouses The compute endpoint a sync connects to for query execution. CRM Objects Accounts, opportunities, stages, and users uploaded into Gong through the CRM integration API so CRM context appears alongside conversations. Write (upload) path. SQL Warehouses is specific to Databricks and CRM Objects to Gong — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Databricks and Gong

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.

Databricks Gong Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Databricks are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Delta Lake Change Data Feed for row-level changes.

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

Gong Databricks Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gong for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling POST /v2/calls/extensive on fromDateTime/toDateTime.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Databricks: Throughput depends on the SQL warehouse size; API calls are subject to workspace rate limits.
  • Gong: 3 API calls per second and 10,000 calls per day per company by default; exceeding returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header, and limits can be raised by contacting Gong.

SQL over JDBC/ODBC via SQL warehouses, plus a REST API including statement execution
Authentication
Personal access tokens or OAuth machine-to-machine credentials for service principals
Change detection
Delta Lake Change Data Feed for row-level changes; otherwise incremental polling on watermark columns
Capabilities

Rate limits
Throughput depends on the SQL warehouse size; API calls are subject to workspace rate limits

Gong

Integration surface
REST API on api.gong.io/v2 - retrieval endpoints (calls, transcript, users, stats, settings, library, logs) plus write endpoints for importing calls, uploading CRM data, and data-privacy erasure
Authentication
Basic authorization header combining an Access Key and Access Key Secret (created by a Gong technical admin, base64-encoded as key:secret); OAuth 2.0 Bearer tokens are supported for marketplace apps
Change detection
Polling POST /v2/calls/extensive on fromDateTime/toDateTime; the public API exposes no outbound webhooks or CDC, though a Gong admin can configure a product-side automation Rule that POSTs matching calls to a URL. Transcripts and analysis appear only after asynchronous processing.
