Why teams connect Firebase and Seismic

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

Stacksync mirrors Library Content, Content Versions, Users, User Groups from Seismic into Cloud Storage Objects, Cloud Functions Triggers, Firestore Collections, Firestore Documents in Firebase 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 Provision and deactivate Seismic Users and User Groups from an HRIS or IdP so content access mirrors joiner, mover, and leaver changes.
  • 02 Extract content-interaction and LiveSend engagement from the Reporting API v2 into a warehouse to tie asset views to CRM Opportunities.
  • 03 Write CRM-side changes (plan, status, owner) back into Firestore documents the app reads.
  • 04 Combine Firebase Authentication users with billing and CRM records into one customer table.

Common sync patterns

Query the CRM like a database

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

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Firebase sync onto the matching records in Seismic, 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 Seismic API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between Firebase 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.

Firebase objects Seismic objects How this pairing syncs
Realtime Database Nodes JSON tree paths in the older Realtime Database, synced by path. Digital Sales Rooms Buyer-facing microsites (DSRs); lifecycle and content-change events surface via webhooks, currently marked Early Access. Realtime Database Nodes is specific to Firebase and Digital Sales Rooms to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Authentication Users User accounts read into CRMs and warehouses for customer records. Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. Authentication Users is specific to Firebase and Reporting Activities to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cloud Storage Objects Files referenced from documents; usually synced as metadata plus URLs. Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. Cloud Storage Objects is specific to Firebase and Library Content to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cloud Functions Triggers Server-side hooks that fire on document changes and can push updates outward. Content Versions Version history for a library item; new versions upload via API and old ones expire, with events firing on ContentManager webhooks. Cloud Functions Triggers is specific to Firebase and Content Versions to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Firestore Collections Top-level groupings of documents that a sync maps to tables or SaaS objects. Users User records managed through SCIM 2.0 and legacy user endpoints; created, updated, and deactivated for provisioning sync. Firestore Collections is specific to Firebase and Users to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Firestore Documents Schemaless JSON-like records, the primary unit synced to and from external systems. User Groups Group definitions and membership that govern content access; synced from an IdP or HRIS to keep permissions current. Firestore Documents is specific to Firebase and User Groups to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Firebase 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.

Firebase Seismic Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Firebase for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Real-time snapshot listeners on Firestore queries and Cloud Functions triggers on document changes.

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

Seismic Firebase 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 Firebase through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Firebase: Subject to Firestore's documented operation quotas and per-document write throughput limits.
  • 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.
