Why teams connect Insightly and SAP Hana

Treat Insightly like part of your database: its records live in SAP Hana 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 SAP Hana, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Contacts, Organizations, Leads, Opportunities from Insightly into System views (SYS schema), Column store tables, Row store tables, Calculation views in SAP Hana with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Insightly 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 Two-way sync of Insightly contacts and organizations with a marketing automation platform
  • 02 Replicate opportunities into Postgres or a warehouse so RevOps can report on pipeline with SQL
  • 03 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.
  • 04 Detect inserts, updates, and deletes on high-write tables via AFTER triggers or a last-modified column and replicate the deltas downstream near-real-time.

What you can sync between Insightly and SAP Hana

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.

Insightly objects SAP Hana objects How this pairing syncs
Custom Fields Per-object custom fields carry enrichment and billing data written from external systems. System-versioned temporal tables Column store tables with a history table tracking each row's validity period; used to reconstruct update and delete history for change capture. Custom Fields is specific to Insightly and System-versioned temporal tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Person records sync with marketing and support tools to keep one contact list. System views (SYS schema) Catalog and monitoring views such as SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS; read to discover schema and auto-generate field mappings for new tables. Contacts is specific to Insightly and System views (SYS schema) to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Organizations Company records map to accounts in ERPs and other CRMs. Column store tables HANA's default table type, optimized for analytics; synced two-way as rows over the SQL interface with the primary key driving upserts and delete tracking. Organizations is specific to Insightly and Column store tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Leads Unqualified prospects sync in from forms and enrichment sources before conversion. Row store tables OLTP-oriented tables held fully in memory; read and written the same way through the SAP HANA client for high-write operational tables. Leads is specific to Insightly and Row store tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Opportunities Pipeline records feed forecasting and warehouse-based reporting. Calculation views Modeled analytic views over base tables; read-only sources for pushing aggregated or joined results into a warehouse or downstream app. Opportunities is specific to Insightly and Calculation views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects Delivery records created from won opportunities sync with PSA and task tools. SQL views Standard database views; read-only projections synced outbound when the source data should not be exposed as raw base tables. Projects is specific to Insightly and SQL views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Insightly and SAP Hana

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.

Insightly SAP Hana Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Insightly for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on record updated-date fields.

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

SAP Hana Insightly Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SAP Hana are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Insightly: Daily API request caps vary by Insightly plan.
  • SAP Hana: No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.
