Why teams connect Gainsight and Seismic

Sync what happens in Gainsight with the customer records in Seismic, in real time and in both directions.

The CRM is supposed to be the record of every customer relationship, but customer-relevant information also accumulates in the other tools a team runs. Whatever Gainsight holds or produces that touches a customer, whether conversations, payments, replies, enriched data, or notes, the CRM only benefits if it arrives without someone copying it over.

Stacksync connects CTA (Call to Action), Scorecard Fact, Timeline Activity, Success Plan in Gainsight to Reporting Activities, Library Content, Content Versions, Users in Seismic with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Gainsight update the matching contact or account in Seismic, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Gainsight can store and use it.

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 React to ContentManager and DSR webhook events to update a database when documents are published, versioned, or expired.
  • 04 Provision and deactivate Seismic Users and User Groups from an HRIS or IdP so content access mirrors joiner, mover, and leaver changes.

Common sync patterns

Where Gainsight can store CRM context: fields kept current

Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Seismic sync into Gainsight, so people working there have the context without switching tools.

Where Gainsight handles support or shared inboxes

Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in Seismic, so sales sees open issues before the next call.

Where Gainsight supplies contact or company data

Enriched fields land directly on records in Seismic, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

What you can sync between Gainsight and Seismic

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 Seismic objects How this pairing syncs
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. Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. Relationship is specific to Gainsight and Reporting Activities to Seismic — 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. Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. CTA (Call to Action) is specific to Gainsight and Library Content to Seismic — 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. Content Versions Version history for a library item; new versions upload via API and old ones expire, with events firing on ContentManager webhooks. Scorecard Fact is specific to Gainsight and Content Versions to Seismic — 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. Users User records managed through SCIM 2.0 and legacy user endpoints; created, updated, and deactivated for provisioning sync. Timeline Activity is specific to Gainsight and Users to Seismic — 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. User Groups Group definitions and membership that govern content access; synced from an IdP or HRIS to keep permissions current. Success Plan is specific to Gainsight and User Groups to Seismic — 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. Teamsites Tenant-scoped workspace partitions organizing Library content, permissions, and config; scoped by teamSiteId on most content calls. Task and Playbook is specific to Gainsight and Teamsites to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gainsight and Seismic

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 Seismic 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 Seismic through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Seismic Gainsight Sub-second propagation

DetectionSeismic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for content, version, user, group, workflow, DSR, and LiveSend events.

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.
  • Seismic: Tiered per-endpoint limits over a rolling 60-second window; exceeding returns HTTP 429, with X-Seismic-Remaining-Calls and X-Seismic-Total-Calls headers.
