Two-way sync
Changes in Marketo or Postgres Heroku instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Keep Marketo and Postgres Heroku in sync without custom scripts. Cut weeks of integration work, eliminate silent data drift, and give your team a single, reliable source of truth.
Marketo 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 Postgres Heroku, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.
Stacksync mirrors Programs and Program Members, Smart Campaigns, Leads, Companies from Marketo into Follower Databases, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku, from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Marketo to drive campaigns and ads, with Marketo kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.
Segments computed in Postgres Heroku from product usage, orders, or account status sync into Marketo as lists or audiences, so campaigns and ads target the people your data says they should.
Opens, clicks, sends, RSVPs, or ad activity from Marketo land in Postgres Heroku beside the matching customer record, ready for reporting and revenue attribution.
A new lead, form fill, or list change in Marketo arrives as a row change in Postgres Heroku, so scoring, jobs, and notifications run in the tooling your team already uses.
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.
| Marketo objects | Postgres Heroku objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Static Lists Named static lists; read via /rest/v1/lists.json, with Leads added or removed via POST and DELETE on /rest/v1/lists/{listId}/leads.json to control campaign membership from lifecycle logic computed downstream. | Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. | Static Lists is specific to Marketo and Materialized Views to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Programs and Program Members Marketing programs read via /rest/v1/programs.json; program membership and member status managed via /rest/v1/leads/programs/{programId}.json and the program status endpoint for acquisition and attribution reporting. | Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. | Programs and Program Members is specific to Marketo and Schemas to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Smart Campaigns Automation flows read via /rest/v1/campaigns.json and run against a set of Leads by requesting a trigger campaign with POST /rest/v1/campaigns/{id}/trigger.json, so downstream logic can push Leads into a Marketo flow. | Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems. | Smart Campaigns is specific to Marketo and Primary and Unique Keys to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Leads Core person records (called Leads/People), deduped on email address by default or a configured dedupe field; read via GET /rest/v1/leads.json with a filterType, upserted via POST /rest/v1/leads.json (action createOrUpdate/createOnly/updateOnly), bulk-imported via CSV through POST /bulk/v1/leads.json, and bulk-exported via /bulk/v1/leads/export/create.json. | JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata. | Leads is specific to Marketo and JSONB Columns to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Companies Company records linked to Leads via a company link field; read and upserted through /rest/v1/companies.json, typically mastered in a CRM or ERP and written into Marketo for account context. | Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. | Companies is specific to Marketo and Sequences to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Opportunities and Opportunity Roles Revenue objects synced via /rest/v1/opportunities.json and /rest/v1/opportunities/roles.json; roles associate an opportunity with a Lead, so pipeline data can drive nurture and scoring. | Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. | Opportunities and Opportunity Roles is specific to Marketo and Follower Databases to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
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.
DetectionStacksync polls Marketo for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling: Get Lead Changes and Get Lead Activities from a paging token seeded by a sinceDatetime, plus Get Deleted Leads, or Bulk Extract filtered on.
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Postgres Heroku as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
DetectionStacksync polls Postgres Heroku for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Marketo through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Authenticate Marketo and Postgres Heroku with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
Pick the Marketo and Postgres Heroku objects to sync — Stacksync auto-detects both schemas, including custom fields where the platform exposes them. Sync to existing tables, or let Stacksync create new ones with ideal data types.
Fields map automatically even when names and types differ. Stacksync handles transformation and type casting for you, zero configuration required.
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Marketo and Postgres Heroku: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Marketo's Static Lists and Programs and Program Members), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
Common patterns for Marketo and Postgres Heroku: Build audiences from your own data; Engagement and results next to the customer; React to marketing changes as row changes. Segments computed in Postgres Heroku from product usage, orders, or account status sync into Marketo as lists or audiences, so campaigns and ads target the people your data says they should.
Marketo: Marketo REST API (JSON over HTTPS) for Leads, Companies, Opportunities, Custom Objects, Activities, Lists, Programs, and Campaigns, plus an asynchronous Bulk Import (leads) and Bulk Extract (leads/activities/program members/custom objects) API and an Asset REST API for emails, forms, and landing pages. Authentication: OAuth 2.0 client_credentials (2-legged): GET the Identity URL /oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials with a Custom Service client_id and client_secret to receive an access token valid for 3600 seconds, then send it as Authorization: Bearer on each call. The instance base URL is https://{munchkinId}.mktorest.com; passing the token as an access_token query parameter is deprecated (removal July 31, 2026). Postgres Heroku: SQL wire protocol (standard PostgreSQL). Authentication: Database credentials from the Heroku DATABASE_URL config var; SSL required. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
Postgres Heroku: Heroku Postgres is standard PostgreSQL, so any Postgres client, driver, or SQL tool connects unchanged. Marketo: Authentication is OAuth 2.0 client_credentials: GET the Identity URL /oauth/token to receive an access token valid for 3600 seconds, sent as an Authorization: Bearer header; the instance base URL is https://{munchkinId}.mktorest.com. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Marketo and Postgres Heroku without custom code.
