Why teams connect Elasticsearch and Nutshell

Treat Nutshell like part of your database: its records live in Elasticsearch 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 Elasticsearch, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Products, Tags, Users, Leads from Nutshell into Aliases, Data streams, Ingest pipelines, Index templates in Elasticsearch with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Nutshell 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

  • Write subscription or product data from internal systems into Nutshell so reps see account context.
  • Mirror tasks and activities into ops tools for cross-team visibility.
  • Feed enriched customer records into an index used for vector or hybrid search in AI applications.
  • Sync CRM accounts and contacts into an Elasticsearch index to power internal search across customer records.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Nutshell arrive as row changes in Elasticsearch, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

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

Product events onto CRM records

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

What you can sync between Elasticsearch and Nutshell

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.

Elasticsearch objects Nutshell objects
Indices Target containers for synced records; each holds a table-like collection of JSON documents. Leads Nutshell's deal object; synced as the pipeline record linked to people and companies
Documents The unit of sync; JSON records created, updated, and deleted by _id. People Individual contacts, kept consistent with marketing and outreach tools
Index mappings Field type definitions that determine how synced fields are indexed and queried. Companies Account records that group people and leads for account-level syncs
Aliases Stable read/write names that let a sync cut over between index versions without downtime. Activities Logged calls, meetings, and emails used for engagement reporting
Data streams Append-only targets for time-series or event data pushed from source systems. Tasks Rep to-dos mirrored into external work-management or reporting systems
Ingest pipelines Server-side transforms applied to documents as a sync writes them. Notes Free-text history attached to leads and contacts, replicated for a full timeline

How the Elasticsearch and Nutshell connectors work

Elasticsearch

Integration surface
REST API (JSON over HTTP)
Authentication
API keys or basic authentication; Elastic Cloud also issues service account tokens
Change detection
Polling on timestamp or sequence fields; Elasticsearch does not expose a native change feed or webhooks
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No fixed request quota; throughput is bounded by cluster sizing, thread pools, and bulk queue capacity

Nutshell

Integration surface
JSON-RPC API over HTTPS; a newer REST API is also offered
Authentication
HTTP Basic with account email and API key
Change detection
webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling as fallback
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
subject to the platform's API rate limits
