Why teams connect DuckDB and Gong

Treat Gong like part of your database: its records live in DuckDB as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in DuckDB, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Users, Interaction Stats (Activity), Trackers & Scorecards, CRM Objects from Gong into Attached databases, Database files, Schemas, Tables in DuckDB with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Gong with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • 01 Submit data-privacy erase-data-for-email requests to Gong to fulfill GDPR/CCPA deletion across recorded conversations.
  • 02 Pull call Transcripts by callId into a warehouse or vector store to power search, RAG, and deal-review summaries over what was said on calls.
  • 03 Sync SaaS data to Parquet on object storage and query it with DuckDB without standing up a warehouse.
  • 04 Push aggregates computed in DuckDB out to a CRM or business tools so analysis results reach operational systems.

Common sync patterns

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Gong become tables in DuckDB you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to DuckDB sync onto the matching records in Gong, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Gong API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between DuckDB 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.

DuckDB objects Gong objects How this pairing syncs
External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) Files DuckDB queries in place without loading, common as a sync interchange format. Library Call-library folders and folder content (curated calls and snippets) read via GET /v2/library/folders and /v2/library/folder-content. Read-only. External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) is specific to DuckDB and Library to Gong — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attached databases Additional database files or external systems attached into one session for cross-source queries. Data Privacy (Erasure) GDPR/CCPA deletion handled by POST /v2/data-privacy/erase-data-for-email, with data-for-email lookups on the read side; a write path used for compliance deletions. Attached databases is specific to DuckDB and Data Privacy (Erasure) to Gong — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Database files Single-file .duckdb databases that jobs read and write directly on disk or object storage. 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. Database files is specific to DuckDB and Calls to Gong — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize tables in sync outputs. Transcripts Speaker-attributed, timestamped sentences retrieved via POST /v2/calls/transcript for one or more callIds; available only after asynchronous processing completes. Read-only. Schemas is specific to DuckDB and Transcripts to Gong — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Columnar tables created via SQL; the destination for materialized sync data. 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. Tables is specific to DuckDB and Users to Gong — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views SQL views used to shape or filter data for downstream consumers. 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. Views is specific to DuckDB and Interaction Stats (Activity) to Gong — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between DuckDB 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.

DuckDB Gong Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls DuckDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling or full re-reads.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • DuckDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by local compute and I/O.
  • 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.

How the DuckDB and Gong connectors work

DuckDB

In-process SQL engine via client libraries (Python, Node.js, JDBC, CLI); no server or network API by default
Authentication
None built in; access control is file-system level (MotherDuck adds token auth for its hosted service)
Change detection
Polling or full re-reads; no change feed or transaction log API
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by local compute and I/O

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.
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
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.
