Why teams connect Gainsight and Postgres Heroku
Mirror Gainsight's data into Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku.
Stacksync mirrors Custom Objects, Company, Person (People), Relationship from Gainsight into Tables, Views, Materialized Views, Schemas in Postgres Heroku 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 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 Expose CRM objects as Postgres tables the Heroku application can query and join directly
- 04 Sync Heroku Postgres into a warehouse for reporting without running ETL dynos
Common sync patterns
Read Gainsight with a query
Records from Gainsight are ordinary rows in Postgres Heroku; 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 Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.
What you can sync between Gainsight and Postgres Heroku
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 | Postgres Heroku 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. | Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data. | CTA (Call to Action) is specific to Gainsight and Tables to Postgres Heroku — 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. | Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. | Scorecard Fact is specific to Gainsight and Views to Postgres Heroku — 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. | Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. | Timeline Activity is specific to Gainsight and Materialized Views to Postgres Heroku — 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. | Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. | Success Plan is specific to Gainsight and Schemas to Postgres Heroku — 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. | Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems. | Task and Playbook is specific to Gainsight and Primary and Unique Keys to Postgres Heroku — 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. | JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata. | Custom Objects is specific to Gainsight and JSONB Columns to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Gainsight and Postgres Heroku
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 Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Postgres Heroku Gainsight Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Postgres Heroku for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations.
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.
- Postgres Heroku: No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan.

FAQ
Gainsight and Postgres Heroku integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Gainsight and Postgres Heroku: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Gainsight's CTA (Call to Action) and Scorecard Fact), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
On the Gainsight side: Custom Objects, Company, Person (People), Relationship, plus custom fields where Gainsight exposes them. On the Postgres Heroku side: Tables, Views, Materialized Views, Schemas. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
-
Common patterns for Gainsight and Postgres Heroku: Read Gainsight with a query; Automate Gainsight from your codebase; React to changes as they happen. Records from Gainsight are ordinary rows in Postgres Heroku; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.
-
Gainsight: REST APIs (per-object) and asynchronous Bulk REST API. Authentication: API access key passed in the 'accesskey' request header (non-expiring), generated by a Gainsight admin; M2M OAuth (Client ID/Secret) is also supported. Postgres Heroku: SQL wire protocol (standard PostgreSQL). Authentication: Database credentials from the Heroku DATABASE_URL config var; SSL required. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Gainsight: There is no general change-event stream; near-real-time outbound is limited to Rules Engine Real-Time Rules configured per event topic, so continuous sync relies on ModifiedDate polling. Postgres Heroku: Heroku Postgres is standard PostgreSQL, so any Postgres client, driver, or SQL tool connects unchanged. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Gainsight and Postgres Heroku without custom code.
