Why teams connect Gainsight and OpenSearch

Mirror Gainsight's data into OpenSearch 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 OpenSearch.

Stacksync mirrors CTA (Call to Action), Scorecard Fact, Timeline Activity, Success Plan from Gainsight into Index aliases, Index templates, Ingest pipelines, Data streams in OpenSearch 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 Keep Postgres as the source of truth while mirroring rows to OpenSearch for full-text and vector queries.
  • 04 Index support tickets and activity logs from SaaS tools for operational dashboards.

Common sync patterns

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.

Read Gainsight with a query

Records from Gainsight are ordinary rows in OpenSearch; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Gainsight from your codebase

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

What you can sync between Gainsight and OpenSearch

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 OpenSearch 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. Index aliases Stable names over rotating indexes, used for zero-downtime reindex during backfills CTA (Call to Action) is specific to Gainsight and Index aliases to OpenSearch — 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. Index templates Mapping and settings presets applied to new indexes a sync creates Scorecard Fact is specific to Gainsight and Index templates to OpenSearch — 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. Ingest pipelines Server-side processors that transform documents as they are written Timeline Activity is specific to Gainsight and Ingest pipelines to OpenSearch — 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. Data streams Append-oriented time-series storage for logs and events pushed from source systems Success Plan is specific to Gainsight and Data streams to OpenSearch — 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. Snapshots Backup artifacts, relevant when reseeding an index from a repository Task and Playbook is specific to Gainsight and Snapshots to OpenSearch — 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. Indexes The core container; synced records land in indexes with defined mappings Custom Objects is specific to Gainsight and Indexes to OpenSearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gainsight and OpenSearch

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 OpenSearch 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 written to OpenSearch through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

OpenSearch Gainsight Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls OpenSearch for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No native change feed.

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.
  • OpenSearch: Throughput bounded by cluster sizing rather than fixed API quotas.
