Why teams connect Iterable and QAD ERP

Feed the real customer, order, and revenue records from QAD ERP into Iterable so campaigns run on who actually bought what, and let contact and consent changes flow back in real time.

Marketing runs on lists of people, but the list rarely knows which of those people are paying customers, what they ordered, or what they are worth. QAD ERP holds exactly that: Purchase orders, Work orders, Inventory balances, General ledger transactions that record who the customer is, what they bought, and what they owe. When the two are joined only by a periodic export, campaigns go out against stale audiences, existing customers get prospecting emails, high-value accounts look the same as cold leads, and a canceled order still counts toward a segment.

Stacksync syncs Purchase orders, Work orders, Inventory balances, General ledger transactions in QAD ERP with Lists, Catalogs, Commerce / Purchases, Export data in Iterable in real time, and where both sides accept writes, in both directions. Customer, order, and invoice data maps field by field onto the contacts, audiences, or accounts Iterable works with, so segmentation and personalization run on current purchase history instead of a month-old snapshot. Contact details and consent changes that originate in Iterable flow back onto the record in QAD ERP.

The strongest bridge between the two is identity and purchase history, who the customer is and what they have bought, so that is where most of the value sits. Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps the attributes the other has no use for; only the shared records are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate inventory and work-order data into a warehouse for supply chain analytics across plants.
  • 02 Push EDI orders from trading partners into QAD as sales orders.
  • 03 Write list subscribe/unsubscribe changes from a CRM back into Iterable Lists so suppression and opt-in state stay current before the next send.
  • 04 Two-way sync User profiles and their custom data fields between Iterable and a Postgres database or CRM so attributes and subscription state stay aligned in both systems.

Common sync patterns

Where Iterable captures new people: signups become customer records

Registrations, form fills, or new subscribers in Iterable create or update the corresponding record in QAD ERP, so the back office sees them without anyone re-keying.

Consent and contact changes travel

Email, address, or subscription-status changes stay aligned across both systems, so a customer who updates their details or opts out is respected everywhere.

Purchase history drives segmentation

Orders, invoices, and revenue totals from QAD ERP land on the matching contact or account in Iterable, so audiences are built from what customers actually bought and spent rather than from guesses.

What you can sync between Iterable and QAD ERP

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.

Iterable objects QAD ERP objects How this pairing syncs
Templates Reusable email/SMS/push/in-app message templates with handlebars fields; read via /api/templates and per-channel get endpoints, written via /api/templates/email/upsert and the other channel upserts. Customers Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM Templates is specific to Iterable and Customers to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lists Static subscriber lists; read via GET /api/lists and /api/lists/getUsers, with users added or removed via /api/lists/subscribe and /api/lists/unsubscribe to control who receives a send. Suppliers Vendor master data aligned with procurement and AP automation tools Lists is specific to Iterable and Suppliers to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Catalogs Named catalogs of items (products, content) used for personalization and recommendations; items upserted and read via /api/catalogs/{catalogName}/items. Sales orders Demand records written in from EDI or e-commerce and read out for status Catalogs is specific to Iterable and Sales orders to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Commerce / Purchases Purchase and cart activity tracked via /api/commerce/trackPurchase and /api/commerce/updateCart, feeding revenue attribution and abandoned-cart journeys. Purchase orders Procurement documents mirrored to planning and finance systems Commerce / Purchases is specific to Iterable and Purchase orders to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Export data Historical user and event records pulled through the Export API (/api/export/data.json, data.csv, and userEvents) across data types like emailSend, emailOpen, emailClick, emailBounce, purchase, and customEvent. Work orders Production records replicated for scheduling and shop-floor analytics Export data is specific to Iterable and Work orders to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users User profiles keyed by email or userId with custom data fields; upserted via POST /api/users/update, read via GET /api/users/{email} or getByUserId, bulk-written via /api/users/bulkUpdate (up to 1000 users per call), and deleted or GDPR-forgotten. Inventory balances Stock levels by site and location, synced for multi-plant visibility Users is specific to Iterable and Inventory balances to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Iterable and QAD ERP

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.

Iterable QAD ERP Sub-second propagation

DetectionIterable notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. System Webhooks push email/SMS/push/in-app and custom events (send, open, click, bounce, complaint, unsubscribe) as JSON POSTs in near real time.

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

QAD ERP Iterable Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls QAD ERP for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the API surface.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Iterable: Limits are per endpoint and per project/key; exceeding one returns HTTP 429, so exponential backoff is advised. Event tracking allows far higher volume than metadata endpoints like campaigns/templates, and the Export API is throttled more tightly. Since Nov 10, 2025, passing the key in the query string or body is rate-limited more strictly than the Api-Key header.
  • QAD ERP: Subject to instance capacity and the platform's API limits.

How the Iterable and QAD ERP connectors work

Iterable

Integration surface
Iterable REST API (JSON over HTTPS): Users, Events, Campaigns, Templates, Lists, Catalogs, and Commerce endpoints, plus a bulk Export API for historical data
Authentication
API key sent in the Api-Key HTTP header (also accepted as Api_Key; the name is case-insensitive). Keys are scoped by type - Server-side, JavaScript (Web SDK), or Mobile - with optional JWT-enabled keys. US projects use api.iterable.com; EU projects use api.eu.iterable.com.
Change detection
System Webhooks push email/SMS/push/in-app and custom events (send, open, click, bounce, complaint, unsubscribe) as JSON POSTs in near real time; historical backfill and incremental catch-up run through the Export API over a date range.
