Why teams connect MotherDuck and Xactly

Sync Xactly 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. Quotas / Targets, Payment Summary (Payable), Products & Customers, Orders from Xactly land in MotherDuck as live tables, updated within seconds, and columns computed in MotherDuck write back to fields in Xactly. There is no separate ETL and reverse-ETL stack to stitch together and no jobs to babysit.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate Products and Customer/Account master from CRM/ERP into Xactly so crediting rules resolve against consistent reference data.
  • 02 Mirror commission Transactions and Credits into a data warehouse to power rep-facing dashboards and comp-plan analytics without manual exports.
  • 03 Land CRM and operational database records in MotherDuck so a small team gets warehouse-style analytics without cluster management
  • 04 Sync modeled MotherDuck tables outward to operational tools for activation

Common sync patterns

Scores and segments back on the record

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

A single customer view

Join Xactly's relationship data with billing, product, and support data in MotherDuck to build the customer picture the CRM alone cannot hold.

Cleanup that sticks

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

What you can sync between MotherDuck and Xactly

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 Xactly objects How this pairing syncs
Database Shares Read-only copies of a database shared with other users or teams. Participants (Payees) Sales reps and payees keyed to positions; loaded and updated from HRIS/HCM source data through Connect (write) and read for roster reporting, so read and write. Database Shares is specific to MotherDuck and Participants (Payees) to Xactly — 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. Positions & Titles Org-hierarchy positions and titles that credits and quotas roll up to; loaded and maintained through Connect (write) and read to resolve the hierarchy, so read and write. Attached Local DuckDB Databases is specific to MotherDuck and Positions & Titles to Xactly — 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. Quotas / Targets Period quota and target values per position or plan; loaded from planning tools through Connect (write) and read for attainment reporting, so read and write. Databases is specific to MotherDuck and Quotas / Targets to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize synced tables. Payment Summary (Payable) Approved payable amounts per participant per period; read as the output that feeds payroll and accounts payable, so effectively read-only. Schemas is specific to MotherDuck and Payment Summary (Payable) to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The main landing target for synced records and source for analysis. Products & Customers Product and customer/account master used in crediting rules and reporting; loaded and updated from CRM/ERP through Connect (write) and read for lookups, so read and write. Tables is specific to MotherDuck and Products & Customers to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Modeled projections used as outbound sync sources. Orders Sales order and transaction records loaded into Incent as the raw input for crediting and calculation; created and updated through Connect load and ETL steps (write) and read back for reconciliation, so read and write. Views is specific to MotherDuck and Orders to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MotherDuck and Xactly

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 Xactly 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 applied to Xactly as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Xactly MotherDuck Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Xactly for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No CDC log for external tools to consume.

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.
  • Xactly: Xactly does not publish numeric per-second rate limits. The Connect platform enforces query concurrency and long-running-query limits, so large extracts are paged and heavy loads/queries run as asynchronous Connect jobs (submit, then retrieve results) rather than row-by-row calls; batch loads are the supported path for high volume.

How the MotherDuck and Xactly connectors work

MotherDuck

Integration surface
SQL through DuckDB clients and drivers using a MotherDuck (md:) connection
Authentication
Access token created in MotherDuck (Settings > General > Create Token), pasted into Stacksync; database name and schema configurable if not using defaults
Change detection

MotherDuck setup guide

Xactly

Integration surface
Xactly Connect REST API v2 (JSON), plus ODBC/JDBC drivers over the same ANSI-SQL data model. Incent data is exposed as SQL-queryable objects (for example xactly_order, xactly_credit, xactly_transaction, xactly_payment); data is loaded and extracted through Connect load/query steps and server-side ETL Pipelines. The base host is region/pod-specific (for example https://<pod>.xactlycorp.com).
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via the Xactly Connect API Gateway (bearer tokens issued on behalf of an Xactly Incent user), with HTTP Basic authentication using a dedicated Xactly Connect service-user's credentials also supported for the Connect REST API v2. The connecting user needs Connect/API access plus the relevant object permissions in Incent.
Change detection
No CDC log for external tools to consume. Incremental sync uses SQL predicates on modified/last-updated timestamp columns (for example WHERE modified_date > watermark) against Connect's queryable objects, or scheduled Connect ETL Pipelines that pull deltas since the last run. Xactly Connect has no outbound HTTP webhooks, so change detection is pull/ETL-based.
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Xactly does not publish numeric per-second rate limits. The Connect platform enforces query concurrency and long-running-query limits, so large extracts are paged and heavy loads/queries run as asynchronous Connect jobs (submit, then retrieve results) rather than row-by-row calls; batch loads are the supported path for high volume.
