Why teams connect Gainsight and Google Cloud Spanner

Mirror Gainsight's data into Google Cloud Spanner so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Gainsight through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Google Cloud Spanner.

Stacksync mirrors Custom Objects, Company, Person (People), Relationship from Gainsight into Databases, Tables, Rows, Interleaved tables in Google Cloud Spanner and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Gainsight, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 02 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 03 Run a two-way sync between Spanner and a SaaS tool so edits made by ops teams land back in the application database.
  • 04 Consolidate data from a globally distributed Spanner deployment into regional business systems.

Common sync patterns

Automate Gainsight from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Google Cloud Spanner and Stacksync propagates the change into Gainsight, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Gainsight arrive as row changes in Google Cloud Spanner, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

What you can sync between Gainsight and Google Cloud Spanner

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 Spanner objects How this pairing syncs
Person (People) Contacts associated to companies through the Company Person junction; synced two-way with CRM contacts and warehouse person records. Change streams Capture inserts, updates, and deletes for log-style change data capture. Person (People) is specific to Gainsight and Change streams to Google Cloud Spanner — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Relationship Sub-units within a company for multi-product or multi-team accounts; synced so each maps to the right contract in billing or an ERP. Views Read-only projections useful for shaping data before it leaves Spanner. Relationship is specific to Gainsight and Views to Google Cloud Spanner — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Databases Top-level containers that scope schema and sync configuration. CTA (Call to Action) is specific to Gainsight and Databases to Google Cloud Spanner — 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. Tables Relational tables mapped one-to-one to sync targets. Scorecard Fact is specific to Gainsight and Tables to Google Cloud Spanner — 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. Rows The unit of read and write in each sync cycle, keyed by primary key. Timeline Activity is specific to Gainsight and Rows to Google Cloud Spanner — 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. Interleaved tables Child rows physically co-located with parents; synced as related records. Success Plan is specific to Gainsight and Interleaved tables to Google Cloud Spanner — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gainsight and Google Cloud Spanner

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 Spanner 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 Spanner as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Google Cloud Spanner Gainsight Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Google Cloud Spanner are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Change streams (log-style CDC), or timestamp-based polling queries.

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 Spanner: Throughput is bounded by the instance's provisioned compute capacity rather than a fixed API quota.
