Why teams connect MotherDuck and Seismic

Sync Seismic into MotherDuck continuously and push warehouse results back onto CRM records, one two-way connection instead of two pipelines.

The CRM feeds the warehouse and the warehouse should feed the CRM: relationship data flows one way, and computed scores, segments, and customer context flow back. Most teams build the first half as a batch pipeline and never quite get to the second.

Stacksync does both with one connection. LiveSend Links, Digital Sales Rooms, Reporting Activities, Library Content from Seismic land in MotherDuck as live tables, updated within seconds, and columns computed in MotherDuck write back to fields in Seismic. There is no separate ETL and reverse-ETL stack to stitch together and no jobs to babysit.

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 Share curated, synced datasets with other teams through read-only database shares
  • 04 Land CRM and operational database records in MotherDuck so a small team gets warehouse-style analytics without cluster management

Common sync patterns

Cleanup that sticks

Deduplication and normalization done in MotherDuck can be written back, so warehouse-side cleanup actually fixes the CRM.

CRM analytics on live data

Accounts, contacts, and activity from Seismic are queryable in MotherDuck moments after they change, so dashboards stop lagging the reality they describe.

Scores and segments back on the record

Lead scores, churn risk, or usage segments computed in MotherDuck appear as fields in Seismic, where the people working accounts actually see them.

What you can sync between MotherDuck 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.

MotherDuck objects Seismic objects How this pairing syncs
Views Modeled projections used as outbound sync sources. Content Versions Version history for a library item; new versions upload via API and old ones expire, with events firing on ContentManager webhooks. Views is specific to MotherDuck and Content Versions to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Database Shares Read-only copies of a database shared with other users or teams. Users User records managed through SCIM 2.0 and legacy user endpoints; created, updated, and deactivated for provisioning sync. Database Shares is specific to MotherDuck and Users to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attached Local DuckDB Databases Local files attached alongside cloud databases for hybrid queries. User Groups Group definitions and membership that govern content access; synced from an IdP or HRIS to keep permissions current. Attached Local DuckDB Databases is specific to MotherDuck and User Groups to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Cloud-hosted DuckDB databases that scope a sync's reads and writes. Teamsites Tenant-scoped workspace partitions organizing Library content, permissions, and config; scoped by teamSiteId on most content calls. Databases is specific to MotherDuck and Teamsites to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize synced tables. LiveSend Links Trackable content-share links created via the engagement API; their open and view engagement is read back through Reporting. Schemas is specific to MotherDuck and LiveSend Links to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The main landing target for synced records and source for analysis. Digital Sales Rooms Buyer-facing microsites (DSRs); lifecycle and content-change events surface via webhooks, currently marked Early Access. Tables is specific to MotherDuck and Digital Sales Rooms to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MotherDuck 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.

MotherDuck Seismic Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MotherDuck for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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

Seismic MotherDuck 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 MotherDuck as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • MotherDuck: Subject to the platform's compute and concurrency limits rather than per-request API rate limits.
  • 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.
