Why teams connect IBM Informix and Salesmate

Treat Salesmate like part of your database: its records live in IBM Informix 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 Informix, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Deals, Activities, Pipelines and Stages, Products from Salesmate into TimeSeries objects, Stored procedures, Logical logs, Databases in IBM Informix with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Salesmate 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 Keep contact segments aligned bi-directionally with an email marketing platform.
  • 02 Push product and pricing data from an ERP or billing system into Salesmate so deals reference current catalog items.
  • 03 Run a two-way sync between an Informix-backed retail or POS application and a CRM so store data reaches go-to-market teams.
  • 04 Keep embedded or edge Informix instances aligned with a central operational database.

Common sync patterns

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Salesmate become tables in IBM Informix you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to IBM Informix sync onto the matching records in Salesmate, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

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

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Salesmate

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.

IBM Informix objects Salesmate objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Pipelines and Stages Sales process definitions read for stage mapping in syncs. Tables is specific to IBM Informix and Pipelines and Stages to Salesmate — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Products Catalog items attached to deals, typically sourced from an ERP or billing system. Rows is specific to IBM Informix and Products to Salesmate — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Notes Free-text records synced for context in support or success tools. Views is specific to IBM Informix and Notes to Salesmate — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Users Team member records used for ownership mapping. TimeSeries objects is specific to IBM Informix and Users to Salesmate — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Contacts Person records synced with marketing tools and enrichment databases. Stored procedures is specific to IBM Informix and Contacts to Salesmate — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Companies Organization records linked to contacts and deals. Logical logs is specific to IBM Informix and Companies to Salesmate — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Informix and Salesmate

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.

IBM Informix Salesmate Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Informix are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Informix's Change Data Capture API reading committed changes from logical logs.

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

Salesmate IBM Informix Sub-second propagation

DetectionSalesmate notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook triggers via the platform's automation features, with scheduled polling on modified timestamps as fallback.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM Informix: Bounded by server resources and session limits rather than an API quota.
  • Salesmate: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
