Why teams connect Nimble and OpenSearch

Treat Nimble like part of your database: its records live in OpenSearch 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 OpenSearch, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Companies, Deals, Tasks, Activities from Nimble into Index templates, Ingest pipelines, Data streams, Snapshots in OpenSearch with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Nimble 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

  • Keep deals aligned between Nimble and an accounting system so invoicing starts when a deal closes.
  • Consolidate contacts from marketing tools into Nimble while writing Nimble edits back to avoid duplicates.
  • Sync product catalogs from an ERP or database into the indexes that back storefront search.
  • Keep Postgres as the source of truth while mirroring rows to OpenSearch for full-text and vector queries.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to OpenSearch sync onto the matching records in Nimble, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

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

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

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

What you can sync between Nimble and OpenSearch

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.

Nimble objects OpenSearch objects
Contacts Person records with multi-value fields for email, phone, and social profiles; the primary sync entity Documents JSON records written via the index and bulk APIs and read via search queries
Companies Stored as contact records with a company record type, so they sync through the same contacts resource Index aliases Stable names over rotating indexes, used for zero-downtime reindex during backfills
Deals Pipeline records linked to contacts, synced to keep revenue systems aligned with sales activity Index templates Mapping and settings presets applied to new indexes a sync creates
Tasks To-do items tied to contacts, mirrored into work-management tools or reporting tables Ingest pipelines Server-side processors that transform documents as they are written
Activities Calls, events, and interaction history used for engagement reporting outside Nimble Data streams Append-oriented time-series storage for logs and events pushed from source systems
Notes Free-text records attached to contacts, replicated for a complete account timeline Snapshots Backup artifacts, relevant when reseeding an index from a repository
