Why teams connect MongoDB and Seismic

Treat Seismic like part of your database: its records live in MongoDB as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in MongoDB, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors LiveSend Links, Digital Sales Rooms, Reporting Activities, Library Content from Seismic into Indexes, Views, Change streams, GridFS files in MongoDB with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Seismic with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Library Content metadata and Custom Property Schemas with a DAM or PIM so one taxonomy governs assets across systems.
  • 02 React to ContentManager and DSR webhook events to update a database when documents are published, versioned, or expired.
  • 03 Replicate operational MongoDB data into a relational database, flattening nested documents into normalized tables for SQL reporting.
  • 04 Capture change stream events and propagate them to SaaS tools in near real time instead of running batch exports.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Seismic API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Seismic arrive as row changes in MongoDB, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Seismic become tables in MongoDB you can join with application data directly.

What you can sync between MongoDB and Seismic

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.

MongoDB objects Seismic objects How this pairing syncs
GridFS files Chunked file storage whose metadata can be referenced by synced documents. Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. GridFS files is specific to MongoDB and Reporting Activities to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical groupings of collections that scope a sync connection. Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. Databases is specific to MongoDB and Library Content to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collections The table-like sync unit; each collection maps to a table or object in the paired system. Content Versions Version history for a library item; new versions upload via API and old ones expire, with events firing on ContentManager webhooks. Collections is specific to MongoDB and Content Versions to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents BSON records created, updated, and deleted during syncs, keyed by _id. Users User records managed through SCIM 2.0 and legacy user endpoints; created, updated, and deactivated for provisioning sync. Documents is specific to MongoDB and Users to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Embedded documents and arrays Nested structures that syncs flatten or map to related records in relational targets. User Groups Group definitions and membership that govern content access; synced from an IdP or HRIS to keep permissions current. Embedded documents and arrays is specific to MongoDB and User Groups to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes Keep lookups by sync key fast on large collections. Teamsites Tenant-scoped workspace partitions organizing Library content, permissions, and config; scoped by teamSiteId on most content calls. Indexes is specific to MongoDB and Teamsites to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MongoDB and Seismic

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.

MongoDB Seismic Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MongoDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. MongoDB oplog and change streams (requires the database to run as a replica set — even single-node).

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

Seismic MongoDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionSeismic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for content, version, user, group, workflow, DSR, and LiveSend events.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Seismic: Tiered per-endpoint limits over a rolling 60-second window; exceeding returns HTTP 429, with X-Seismic-Remaining-Calls and X-Seismic-Total-Calls headers.
