Why teams connect MarkLogic and Pendo

Give Pendo the users, events, and records that live in MarkLogic in real time, and sync the cohorts and scores Pendo computes back into MarkLogic where your applications read them.

A database holds the rows your business runs on: the users, events, orders, and records that every service reads and writes. Pendo is where people make sense of them, as dashboards, funnels, cohorts, and metrics. Moving the data from MarkLogic into Pendo usually means a hand-built extract or a change-data-capture pipeline that breaks the moment a column is renamed, and reporting that always trails last night's load.

Stacksync syncs TDE Views, Document Metadata & Properties, Databases & Forests, Users & Roles in MarkLogic with Guide Events, Poll / NPS Responses, Features / Pages / Guides (metadata), Visitors in Pendo in real time and in both directions. Operational rows flow into Pendo as they change, so dashboards read current data with no pipeline to maintain, and the segments, cohorts, or scores Pendo computes flow back into MarkLogic, where the applications and services that read from it get them at normal query latency. Field-level mapping, schema and type translation, and conflict resolution are handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 01 Export feature, page, and guide Events out of Pendo over event-time windows into Postgres or a warehouse so product usage joins with CRM, billing, and support data in SQL.
  • 02 Pull NPS scores and poll responses into a database so voice-of-customer sits next to revenue, renewal, and churn signals for analysis.
  • 03 Keep reference datasets and semantically linked entities aligned across downstream applications.
  • 04 Feed harmonized entities into search and analytics applications as documents change.

Common sync patterns

Filter and grouping dimensions kept fresh

Attributes teams slice by, such as plan, region, or account owner, stay current in Pendo because they sync from MarkLogic as they change, instead of going stale after a one-time import.

Where Pendo tracks product events: behavior onto stored records

Signup, usage, and lifecycle events captured in Pendo sync into MarkLogic as rows, so applications and internal tools can read behavioral data next to the records they already keep.

Where Pendo builds cohorts or scores: results your services can read

Segments, cohorts, or scores computed in Pendo sync back into MarkLogic, where the services that read from the database act on them at query speed without calling the analytics API.

What you can sync between MarkLogic and Pendo

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.

MarkLogic objects Pendo objects How this pairing syncs
Users & Roles Security principals that govern what an integration credential can read or write. Features / Pages / Guides (metadata) Definitions of tagged UI elements listed through the entity endpoints; read-only reference used to label and join the event streams. Users & Roles is specific to MarkLogic and Features / Pages / Guides (metadata) to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents JSON and XML documents, the primary records read from and written to the database. Visitors End-user records with agent-collected and custom fields; queried through the Aggregation API and enriched with custom fields written back via the Metadata API. Documents is specific to MarkLogic and Visitors to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collections Named groupings used to scope which documents a sync reads or updates. Accounts Company/workspace records that roll visitors up to an account dimension; readable via Aggregation and a write target for custom fields (plan, ARR, health) via the Metadata API. Collections is specific to MarkLogic and Accounts to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Semantic Triples RDF data stored alongside documents, queryable with SPARQL for linked-data syncs. Feature Events Click/interaction events on tagged features, read-only through the Aggregation API over an event-time window and joined to the Feature definitions. Semantic Triples is specific to MarkLogic and Feature Events to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
TDE Views Relational projections of documents that let syncs read document data as SQL rows. Page Events Page-view events for tagged pages; read-only via the Aggregation API, used for adoption and path analysis in a warehouse. TDE Views is specific to MarkLogic and Page Events to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Document Metadata & Properties Permissions, quality, and property fragments carried with each document. Guide Events Guide seen/advanced/dismissed and step events for in-app walkthroughs; read-only through the Aggregation API to measure onboarding flow adoption. Document Metadata & Properties is specific to MarkLogic and Guide Events to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MarkLogic and Pendo

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.

MarkLogic Pendo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MarkLogic for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction log.

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

Pendo MarkLogic Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pendo for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Pendo: Pendo does not publish fixed numeric limits; it throttles heavy Aggregation queries with 429s and caps/paginates large responses, so wide exports are paced and time-windowed.

How the MarkLogic and Pendo connectors work

MarkLogic

Integration surface
REST API (Client API), plus SQL/ODBC access over TDE views and Java/Node client libraries
Authentication
Username/password (digest or basic), with certificate-based options
Change detection
No exposed transaction log; polling on document timestamps/metadata, or server-side triggers that record changes for pickup
Capabilities
read · write

Pendo

Integration surface
Pendo Engage API (REST) on app.pendo.io (US) / app.eu.pendo.io (EU), base path /api/v1/ - Aggregation API for reads and the Metadata API for writes
Authentication
Integration key sent in the x-pendo-integration-key header, generated in Subscription Settings; keys are scoped read-only or read/write, so writes require a read/write key
Change detection
Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows; no change-data-capture feed and no data-change webhooks. Writes go through the Metadata API on demand.
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Pendo does not publish fixed numeric limits; it throttles heavy Aggregation queries with 429s and caps/paginates large responses, so wide exports are paced and time-windowed.
