Why teams connect Marketo and TimescaleDB
Give your team Marketo's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in TimescaleDB: query them with SQL, push audiences built from your own data back to Marketo, and skip the marketing API.
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 TimescaleDB, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.
Stacksync mirrors Leads, Companies, Opportunities and Opportunity Roles, Custom Objects from Marketo into Continuous Aggregates, Regular PostgreSQL Tables, Views, Schemas in TimescaleDB 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 TimescaleDB, 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.
Common use cases
- 01 Replicate subscription and billing events from operational Postgres tables into Timescale hypertables for time-series analysis.
- 02 Keep device or asset reference tables bi-directionally in sync between TimescaleDB and an ERP.
- 03 Two-way sync Marketo Leads with a Postgres or warehouse table, matched on email, so RevOps queries and updates marketing profiles in SQL while marketers keep working in Marketo.
- 04 Extract Marketo Activities (opens, clicks, form fills, Data Value Changes) through Bulk Activity Extract or Get Lead Activities into a warehouse for lead scoring and multi-touch attribution.
Common sync patterns
Query Marketo like a database
Contacts, leads, audiences, and campaign metrics from Marketo live in TimescaleDB 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 TimescaleDB 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.
Engagement and results next to the customer
Opens, clicks, sends, RSVPs, or ad activity from Marketo land in TimescaleDB beside the matching customer record, ready for reporting and revenue attribution.
What you can sync between Marketo and TimescaleDB
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 | TimescaleDB objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data. | Programs and Program Members is specific to Marketo and Regular PostgreSQL Tables to TimescaleDB — 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. | Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers. | Smart Campaigns is specific to Marketo and Views to TimescaleDB — 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. | Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment. | Leads is specific to Marketo and Schemas to TimescaleDB — 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. | Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs. | Companies is specific to Marketo and Hypertables to TimescaleDB — 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. | Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly. | Opportunities and Opportunity Roles is specific to Marketo and Chunks to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Custom Objects Auxiliary data tables described via /rest/v1/customobjects.json and read/written via /rest/v1/customobjects/{apiName}.json, linked to Leads by a dedupe/link field so campaigns branch on records like purchases or subscriptions. | Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems. | Custom Objects is specific to Marketo and Continuous Aggregates to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Marketo and TimescaleDB
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.
Marketo TimescaleDB Interval-based propagation
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 TimescaleDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
TimescaleDB Marketo Sub-second propagation
DetectionChanges in TimescaleDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Marketo through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Marketo: Interactive calls are capped at 100 per 20 seconds (error 606) and a maximum of 10 concurrent calls (error 615) per instance, neither increasable; a default daily quota of 50,000 calls (increasable, resets midnight CST) applies. Bulk Extract shares a 500 MB/day export quota across data types with at most 2 concurrent jobs and 10 queued.
- TimescaleDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by database resources and connection limits.

How the Marketo and TimescaleDB connectors work
Marketo
- Integration surface
- 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).
- Change detection
- 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 createdAt/updatedAt. Marketo's Webhooks are Smart Campaign flow-step outbound HTTP calls to a URL, not a general record-change subscription, so there is no push feed of arbitrary CRUD.

FAQ
Marketo and TimescaleDB integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Marketo and TimescaleDB: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Marketo's Programs and Program Members and Smart Campaigns), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.

-
TimescaleDB: Native compression converts older chunks to a columnar layout while keeping them queryable with the same SQL. Marketo: Bulk Extract for leads, activities, program members, and custom objects is asynchronous (create, enqueue, poll, then stream the file) and shares a 500 MB/day export quota with a maximum of 2 concurrent jobs and 10 queued. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Marketo and TimescaleDB without custom code.
-
