Why teams connect Firebolt and Pendo

Put the same events, users, and metrics on both sides: Pendo and Firebolt stay current in real time, in both directions.

Pendo is where teams explore, visualize, and report; Firebolt is the store of record that holds the raw tables and full history behind those views. The two overlap wherever the same events, users, and metrics matter to both, and when the bridge between them is a nightly export or a hand-built extract, dashboards lag the warehouse and analysts spend the morning arguing over whose number is right.

Stacksync syncs Visitors, Accounts, Feature Events, Page Events in Pendo with Engines, Databases, Tables, External tables in Firebolt field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set. Whether the flow is warehouse tables feeding live reports or captured events and segments landing back in Firebolt, every copy stays consistent.

Common use cases

  • 01 Load guide-engagement events into a reporting database to measure onboarding-flow adoption against retention and expansion.
  • 02 Export feature, page, and guide Events out of Pendo over event-time windows into Postgres or a warehouse so product usage joins with CRM, billing, and support data in SQL.
  • 03 Sync aggregated results from Firebolt back to operational tools that need computed metrics (reverse ETL).
  • 04 Sync CRM objects into Firebolt so customer-facing dashboards reflect recent pipeline changes.

Common sync patterns

Corrections propagate instead of reloading

When a record is fixed or backfilled on one side, the change reaches the other without a full reload, keeping history consistent across both.

One number both sides agree on

Metrics and aggregates stay aligned between the two systems, so a figure shown in Pendo matches the Firebolt table it was built from instead of drifting between refreshes.

Where Firebolt holds the source tables: live data in the reporting layer

Records maintained in Firebolt flow into Pendo as they change, so dashboards and reports read current rows rather than an overnight extract.

What you can sync between Firebolt and Pendo

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.

Firebolt objects Pendo objects How this pairing syncs
External tables References to files in object storage used to stage bulk loads. Guide Events Guide seen/advanced/dismissed and step events for in-app walkthroughs; read-only through the Aggregation API to measure onboarding flow adoption. External tables is specific to Firebolt and Guide Events to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Curated query surfaces commonly used as sources for reverse ETL. Poll / NPS Responses Survey answers and NPS scores captured in-app (pollEvents / npsEvents); read-only via the Aggregation API as voice-of-customer data. Views is specific to Firebolt and Poll / NPS Responses to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Aggregating indexes Precomputed rollups maintained at write time; incremental loads update them automatically. Features / Pages / Guides (metadata) Definitions of tagged UI elements listed through the entity endpoints; read-only reference used to label and join the event streams. Aggregating indexes is specific to Firebolt and Features / Pages / Guides (metadata) to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Engines Compute resources that must be running for a sync to read or write. Visitors End-user records with agent-collected and custom fields; queried through the Aggregation API and enriched with custom fields written back via the Metadata API. Engines is specific to Firebolt and Visitors to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical containers holding the tables a sync targets. Accounts Company/workspace records that roll visitors up to an account dimension; readable via Aggregation and a write target for custom fields (plan, ARR, health) via the Metadata API. Databases is specific to Firebolt and Accounts to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Managed columnar tables written with SQL; the main sync destination. Feature Events Click/interaction events on tagged features, read-only through the Aggregation API over an event-time window and joined to the Feature definitions. Tables is specific to Firebolt and Feature Events to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Firebolt and Pendo

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.

Firebolt Pendo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Firebolt for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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

Pendo Firebolt Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pendo for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Firebolt: No fixed request quota; throughput depends on the engine size attached to the workload.
  • Pendo: Pendo does not publish fixed numeric limits; it throttles heavy Aggregation queries with 429s and caps/paginates large responses, so wide exports are paced and time-windowed.

How the Firebolt and Pendo connectors work

Firebolt

Integration surface
SQL over a REST API, with JDBC, Python, and Node.js SDKs
Authentication
Service account credentials (client ID and secret) exchanged for OAuth 2.0 tokens
Change detection
Polling; Firebolt is an analytics destination and does not expose a change feed
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No fixed request quota; throughput depends on the engine size attached to the workload

Pendo

Integration surface
Pendo Engage API (REST) on app.pendo.io (US) / app.eu.pendo.io (EU), base path /api/v1/ - Aggregation API for reads and the Metadata API for writes
Authentication
Integration key sent in the x-pendo-integration-key header, generated in Subscription Settings; keys are scoped read-only or read/write, so writes require a read/write key
Change detection
Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows; no change-data-capture feed and no data-change webhooks. Writes go through the Metadata API on demand.
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Pendo does not publish fixed numeric limits; it throttles heavy Aggregation queries with 429s and caps/paginates large responses, so wide exports are paced and time-windowed.
