Why teams connect Gong and IBM AS/400

Treat Gong like part of your database: its records live in IBM AS/400 as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in IBM AS/400, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Users, Interaction Stats (Activity), Trackers & Scorecards, CRM Objects from Gong into Libraries, Physical files (tables), Logical files (views), Members in IBM AS/400 with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Gong with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • 01 Submit data-privacy erase-data-for-email requests to Gong to fulfill GDPR/CCPA deletion across recorded conversations.
  • 02 Pull call Transcripts by callId into a warehouse or vector store to power search, RAG, and deal-review summaries over what was said on calls.
  • 03 Keep customer and item files aligned with an ecommerce platform or modern ERP during phased modernization.
  • 04 Feed shipment and invoice data from the AS/400 into logistics and finance tools in near real time.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Gong API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Gong arrive as row changes in IBM AS/400, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Gong become tables in IBM AS/400 you can join with application data directly.

What you can sync between Gong and IBM AS/400

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.

Gong objects IBM AS/400 objects How this pairing syncs
Library Call-library folders and folder content (curated calls and snippets) read via GET /v2/library/folders and /v2/library/folder-content. Read-only. Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
CRM Objects Accounts, opportunities, stages, and users uploaded into Gong through the CRM integration API so CRM context appears alongside conversations. Write (upload) path. Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. CRM Objects is specific to Gong and Logical files (views) to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data Privacy (Erasure) GDPR/CCPA deletion handled by POST /v2/data-privacy/erase-data-for-email, with data-for-email lookups on the read side; a write path used for compliance deletions. Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs. Data Privacy (Erasure) is specific to Gong and Members to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Calls Retrieved via POST /v2/calls/extensive with participants, topics, trackers, scorecards, and media URLs, filtered by fromDateTime/toDateTime; external recordings are also imported via POST /v2/calls with media uploaded via PUT /v2/calls/{id}/media. Read and write. Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. Calls is specific to Gong and Rows / records to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Transcripts Speaker-attributed, timestamped sentences retrieved via POST /v2/calls/transcript for one or more callIds; available only after asynchronous processing completes. Read-only. Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files. Transcripts is specific to Gong and Journals and journal receivers to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Gong users and team members with roles, titles, email, and settings, read via GET /v2/users to map call owners and participants to CRM and warehouse identities. Read-only. Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations. Users is specific to Gong and Data queues to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gong and IBM AS/400

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.

Gong IBM AS/400 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gong for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling POST /v2/calls/extensive on fromDateTime/toDateTime.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM AS/400 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

IBM AS/400 Gong Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM AS/400 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Journal-based CDC by reading journal receivers on journaled files.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Gong: 3 API calls per second and 10,000 calls per day per company by default; exceeding returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header, and limits can be raised by contacting Gong.
  • IBM AS/400: Bounded by system resources and subsystem configuration rather than an API quota.

How the Gong and IBM AS/400 connectors work

Gong

Integration surface
REST API on api.gong.io/v2 - retrieval endpoints (calls, transcript, users, stats, settings, library, logs) plus write endpoints for importing calls, uploading CRM data, and data-privacy erasure
Authentication
Basic authorization header combining an Access Key and Access Key Secret (created by a Gong technical admin, base64-encoded as key:secret); OAuth 2.0 Bearer tokens are supported for marketplace apps
Change detection
Polling POST /v2/calls/extensive on fromDateTime/toDateTime; the public API exposes no outbound webhooks or CDC, though a Gong admin can configure a product-side automation Rule that POSTs matching calls to a URL. Transcripts and analysis appear only after asynchronous processing.
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
3 API calls per second and 10,000 calls per day per company by default; exceeding returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header, and limits can be raised by contacting Gong.
