Why teams connect Folk CRM and SAP Hana

Treat Folk CRM like part of your database: its records live in SAP Hana 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 SAP Hana, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Groups, Custom fields, Notes, Reminders from Folk CRM into Row store tables, Calculation views, SQL views, Schemas in SAP Hana with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Folk CRM 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 Keep folk and a billing or customer success tool aligned on company records as deals close.
  • 02 Sync folk people and companies with a marketing or outbound tool so outreach lists stay current.
  • 03 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.
  • 04 Detect inserts, updates, and deletes on high-write tables via AFTER triggers or a last-modified column and replicate the deltas downstream near-real-time.

Common sync patterns

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to SAP Hana sync onto the matching records in Folk CRM, 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 Folk CRM API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Folk CRM arrive as row changes in SAP Hana, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

What you can sync between Folk CRM and SAP Hana

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.

Folk CRM objects SAP Hana objects How this pairing syncs
Groups Shared workspaces that organize contacts; group membership is often the field integrations act on. Row store tables OLTP-oriented tables held fully in memory; read and written the same way through the SAP HANA client for high-write operational tables. Groups is specific to Folk CRM and Row store tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom fields Group-scoped attributes that receive enriched or computed values from external systems. Calculation views Modeled analytic views over base tables; read-only sources for pushing aggregated or joined results into a warehouse or downstream app. Custom fields is specific to Folk CRM and Calculation views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Notes Free-text context attached to people and companies, readable for reporting. SQL views Standard database views; read-only projections synced outbound when the source data should not be exposed as raw base tables. Notes is specific to Folk CRM and SQL views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reminders Follow-up items that can be created from external triggers. Schemas Namespaces that group tables and views; the connector targets a schema and enumerates its objects from the catalog to build the sync. Reminders is specific to Folk CRM and Schemas to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People Contact records; the primary entity synced with outreach and enrichment tools. Sequences Server-generated key values; relevant when writing rows into tables whose identity is assigned HANA-side rather than by the source system. People is specific to Folk CRM and Sequences to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Companies Organization records linked to people and kept aligned with billing or CS systems. Triggers AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers capture changes into a shadow/logging table so updates and deletes are detected near-real-time without full scans. Companies is specific to Folk CRM and Triggers to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Folk CRM and SAP Hana

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.

Folk CRM SAP Hana Sub-second propagation

DetectionFolk CRM notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling of list endpoints as a fallback.

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

SAP Hana Folk CRM Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SAP Hana are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Folk CRM: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
  • SAP Hana: No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.
