Why teams connect Elasticsearch and Seismic

Treat Seismic 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 Users, User Groups, Teamsites, LiveSend Links from Seismic 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 Seismic 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 Extract content-interaction and LiveSend engagement from the Reporting API v2 into a warehouse to tie asset views to CRM Opportunities.
  • 02 Sync Library Content metadata and Custom Property Schemas with a DAM or PIM so one taxonomy governs assets across systems.
  • 03 Mirror support tickets into an index used for full-text search and agent-assist tooling.
  • 04 Feed enriched customer records into an index used for vector or hybrid search in AI applications.

Common sync patterns

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

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

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Seismic 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 Seismic, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

What you can sync between Elasticsearch and Seismic

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 Seismic objects How this pairing syncs
Indices Target containers for synced records; each holds a table-like collection of JSON documents. User Groups Group definitions and membership that govern content access; synced from an IdP or HRIS to keep permissions current. Indices is specific to Elasticsearch and User Groups to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents The unit of sync; JSON records created, updated, and deleted by _id. Teamsites Tenant-scoped workspace partitions organizing Library content, permissions, and config; scoped by teamSiteId on most content calls. Documents is specific to Elasticsearch and Teamsites to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Index mappings Field type definitions that determine how synced fields are indexed and queried. LiveSend Links Trackable content-share links created via the engagement API; their open and view engagement is read back through Reporting. Index mappings is specific to Elasticsearch and LiveSend Links to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Aliases Stable read/write names that let a sync cut over between index versions without downtime. Digital Sales Rooms Buyer-facing microsites (DSRs); lifecycle and content-change events surface via webhooks, currently marked Early Access. Aliases is specific to Elasticsearch and Digital Sales Rooms to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data streams Append-only targets for time-series or event data pushed from source systems. Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. Data streams is specific to Elasticsearch and Reporting Activities to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Ingest pipelines Server-side transforms applied to documents as a sync writes them. Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. Ingest pipelines is specific to Elasticsearch and Library Content to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Elasticsearch and Seismic

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.

Elasticsearch Seismic Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Elasticsearch for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp or sequence fields.

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

Seismic Elasticsearch Sub-second propagation

DetectionSeismic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for content, version, user, group, workflow, DSR, and LiveSend events.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Elasticsearch: No fixed request quota; throughput is bounded by cluster sizing, thread pools, and bulk queue capacity.
  • Seismic: Tiered per-endpoint limits over a rolling 60-second window; exceeding returns HTTP 429, with X-Seismic-Remaining-Calls and X-Seismic-Total-Calls headers.
