Why teams connect Gainsight and Google Cloud Platform

Get the data locked inside Gainsight into Google Cloud Platform as live tables, and send results back where Gainsight can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Gainsight is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Company, Person (People), Relationship, CTA (Call to Action) from Gainsight into tables in Google Cloud Platform continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Google Cloud Platform can also be written back into fields in Gainsight where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 02 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 03 Publish change events to Pub/Sub so downstream services react to record updates as they happen.

Common sync patterns

Analytics on Gainsight's data

Records and events from Gainsight land in Google Cloud Platform as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Gainsight's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

Where Gainsight accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Google Cloud Platform sync back onto records in Gainsight, putting analysis where the work happens.

What you can sync between Gainsight and Google Cloud Platform

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.

Gainsight objects Google Cloud Platform objects How this pairing syncs
CTA (Call to Action) Risk and expansion alerts that drive CSM plays; often synced to ticketing or project tools so follow-up work is tracked where teams operate. BigQuery tables The primary analytics destination, written through load jobs or the Storage Write API and queried with SQL. CTA (Call to Action) is specific to Gainsight and BigQuery tables to Google Cloud Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Scorecard Fact Health scores and measures per Company or Relationship; usage metrics from a warehouse are written in so scores reflect live telemetry. Cloud SQL databases Managed Postgres, MySQL, and SQL Server instances synced like ordinary relational databases. Scorecard Fact is specific to Gainsight and Cloud SQL databases to Google Cloud Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Timeline Activity Logged calls, emails, and notes; usually read out into a reporting database for QBR and churn analysis. Cloud Storage objects Staging area for file-based bulk loads into BigQuery and other services. Timeline Activity is specific to Gainsight and Cloud Storage objects to Google Cloud Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Success Plan Account objectives with associated tasks; read out for reporting or synced with project tools tracking onboarding and adoption. Pub/Sub topics Event streams used to move change events between systems in near real time. Success Plan is specific to Gainsight and Pub/Sub topics to Google Cloud Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Task and Playbook Cockpit tasks generated from CTAs and playbooks; synced with Jira or Asana so execution happens in the team's own tool. Firestore documents Document data read and written through the Firestore API for app-facing syncs. Task and Playbook is specific to Gainsight and Firestore documents to Google Cloud Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Objects Org-specific MDA tables with the __gc suffix; discoverable via the Describe API so field mappings can be generated automatically. Spanner tables Strongly consistent relational tables accessed via SQL for transactional workloads. Custom Objects is specific to Gainsight and Spanner tables to Google Cloud Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gainsight and Google Cloud Platform

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.

Gainsight Google Cloud Platform Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

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

Google Cloud Platform Gainsight Sub-second propagation

DetectionGoogle Cloud Platform pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Varies by service: log-based CDC on Cloud SQL (logical replication or binlog, also via Datastream), Pub/Sub for event delivery, polling for BigQuery.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.
  • Google Cloud Platform: Quotas are set per service and per project; BigQuery, Pub/Sub, and Cloud SQL each enforce their own limits.
