Why teams connect Iterable and Scaleway Postgres

Give your team Iterable's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in Scaleway Postgres: query them with SQL, push audiences built from your own data back to Iterable, and skip the marketing API.

Iterable holds the people, audiences, and campaign activity that marketing runs on, but that data sits behind interfaces built for marketers, not for your internal systems. Engineers and analysts who need contacts, list membership, or engagement, for reporting, attribution, or product logic, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it forever. Meanwhile the customer and usage data marketers want for targeting already lives in Scaleway Postgres, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Commerce / Purchases, Export data, Users, Events from Iterable into Schemas, Sequences, Columns, Tables in Scaleway Postgres field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Marketing records become rows your code can query and join with product and customer data; audiences and attributes computed in Scaleway Postgres, from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Iterable to drive campaigns and ads, with Iterable kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Back internal tools with the same Postgres instance while Stacksync keeps it consistent with external systems
  • 02 Keep an EU-hosted Postgres as the system of record while distributing data to US-hosted SaaS applications
  • 03 Export Iterable engagement data (emailSend, emailOpen, emailClick, emailBounce, purchase) into a warehouse for deliverability and campaign reporting.
  • 04 Stream Iterable System Webhook events into a database in near real time so opens, clicks, bounces, and unsubscribes land alongside CRM contact records.

Common sync patterns

Query Iterable like a database

Contacts, leads, audiences, and campaign metrics from Iterable live in Scaleway Postgres as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data and reachable without touching the vendor API.

Build audiences from your own data

Segments computed in Scaleway Postgres from product usage, orders, or account status sync into Iterable as lists or audiences, so campaigns and ads target the people your data says they should.

Engagement and results next to the customer

Opens, clicks, sends, RSVPs, or ad activity from Iterable land in Scaleway Postgres beside the matching customer record, ready for reporting and revenue attribution.

What you can sync between Iterable and Scaleway Postgres

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 Scaleway Postgres objects How this pairing syncs
Catalogs Named catalogs of items (products, content) used for personalization and recommendations; items upserted and read via /api/catalogs/{catalogName}/items. Materialized views Precomputed result sets that can be read on a schedule for downstream syncs. Catalogs is specific to Iterable and Materialized views to Scaleway Postgres — 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. Schemas Namespace tables so multiple applications or environments can be synced selectively. Commerce / Purchases is specific to Iterable and Schemas to Scaleway Postgres — 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. Sequences Generate primary keys; sync tooling must respect them when writing rows. Export data is specific to Iterable and Sequences to Scaleway Postgres — 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. Columns Postgres-native types, including JSONB and arrays, are mapped to fields in the paired system. Users is specific to Iterable and Columns to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Events Custom and system events tracked via /api/events/track and /api/events/trackBulk (up to 1000 events per call); a single user's event history is read via GET /api/events/{email}. Tables Primary sync unit; each table maps to an object or table on the other side of the sync. Events is specific to Iterable and Tables to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Campaigns Email, SMS, push, and in-app sends; metadata and metrics read via GET /api/campaigns and /api/campaigns/metrics, created and sent via /api/campaigns/create and /api/campaigns/trigger. Views Read-only sources for shaping data before it leaves the database. Campaigns is specific to Iterable and Views to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Iterable and Scaleway Postgres

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 Scaleway Postgres 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 applied to Scaleway Postgres as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Scaleway Postgres Iterable Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Scaleway Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication where the managed instance permits it.

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.
  • Scaleway Postgres: Throughput is bounded by instance size and connection limits rather than API quotas.

How the Iterable and Scaleway Postgres 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.
