Why teams connect Demandbase and MarkLogic

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

Demandbase 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 MarkLogic, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Opportunities, People (Persons), Activities, Campaigns from Demandbase into Collections, Semantic Triples, TDE Views, Document Metadata & Properties in MarkLogic 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 MarkLogic, from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Demandbase to drive campaigns and ads, with Demandbase kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write updates from operational systems back into the document hub to keep the canonical record current.
  • 02 Keep reference datasets and semantically linked entities aligned across downstream applications.
  • 03 Subscribe to Demandbase company and person change webhooks - firmographic updates, M&A, and leadership or employment changes - and land them in an operational store for real-time account alerts.
  • 04 Push warehouse-computed account scores, custom fields, and audiences into Demandbase via the Data Import API so ABM campaigns and sales plays target the segments the warehouse defines.

Common sync patterns

Query Demandbase like a database

Contacts, leads, audiences, and campaign metrics from Demandbase live in MarkLogic 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 MarkLogic from product usage, orders, or account status sync into Demandbase 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 Demandbase land in MarkLogic beside the matching customer record, ready for reporting and revenue attribution.

What you can sync between Demandbase and MarkLogic

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.

Demandbase objects MarkLogic objects How this pairing syncs
People (Persons) Contact/person records with verified business email, title, seniority, and quality grades; fetched and matched via the B2B Contact endpoints and exported or imported. Documents JSON and XML documents, the primary records read from and written to the database. People (Persons) is specific to Demandbase and Documents to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activities Engagement and custom activity records (web, campaign, intent); exported via Data Export and pushed in through the Data Import API using custom activity types. Collections Named groupings used to scope which documents a sync reads or updates. Activities is specific to Demandbase and Collections to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Campaigns Marketing campaign records and creative assets exported through the Data Export API; read-only reporting feed. Semantic Triples RDF data stored alongside documents, queryable with SPARQL for linked-data syncs. Campaigns is specific to Demandbase and Semantic Triples to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Account & Person Lists (Audiences) Named account and person segments exported via Data Export; custom audiences pushed into Demandbase through the Data Import API. Read and write. TDE Views Relational projections of documents that let syncs read document data as SQL rows. Account & Person Lists (Audiences) is specific to Demandbase and TDE Views to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Company Details (B2B enrichment) Firmographics, technographics, competitors, and corporate family tree fetched by domain or name via the B2B Company Search and Details endpoints; read-only enrichment. Document Metadata & Properties Permissions, quality, and property fragments carried with each document. Company Details (B2B enrichment) is specific to Demandbase and Document Metadata & Properties to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Change Subscriptions Company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and DB person employment subscriptions delivered as webhook alerts with a signing secret; the real-time change feed. Databases & Forests Storage units that define the scope and placement of synced content. Change Subscriptions is specific to Demandbase and Databases & Forests to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Demandbase and MarkLogic

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.

Demandbase MarkLogic Sub-second propagation

DetectionDemandbase notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Subscription API webhooks - company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and person employment-change alerts to a configurable URL.

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

MarkLogic Demandbase Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MarkLogic for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction log.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Demandbase: Credit-based per API call; bulk jobs accept up to 10,000 records per submission, CSV uploads up to 5GB, and result URLs stay valid 24 hours; subscription alerts page up to 5,000 entities and list endpoints up to 100 per page.

How the Demandbase and MarkLogic connectors work

Demandbase

Integration surface
REST APIs (Demandbase One) - a B2B API (company/contact search, details, and match with async bulk enrichment jobs), a read-only Data Export API and a write-capable Data Import API (both async bulk jobs), and a Subscription API for webhook change alerts.
Authentication
JWT bearer tokens minted from Demandbase One API Key Sets at the platform level; each credential set expires after 8 hours and is rotated. Legacy single-user API tokens are deprecated.
Change detection
Subscription API webhooks - company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and person employment-change alerts to a configurable URL secured with a signing secret; bulk reads run as async export jobs (submit, poll, download). No log-based CDC.
