Why teams connect Notion and Xactly

Sync what happens in Notion with the customer records in Xactly, in real time and in both directions.

The CRM is supposed to be the record of every customer relationship, but customer-relevant information also accumulates in the other tools a team runs. Whatever Notion holds or produces that touches a customer, whether conversations, payments, replies, enriched data, or notes, the CRM only benefits if it arrives without someone copying it over.

Stacksync connects Comments, Files and attachments, Pages, Databases / Data sources in Notion to Participants (Payees), Positions & Titles, Quotas / Targets, Payment Summary (Payable) in Xactly with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Notion update the matching contact or account in Xactly, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Notion can store and use it.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Notion wiki Pages and their Blocks into a database or search index for internal knowledge retrieval.
  • 02 Two-way sync a Notion projects or tasks data source with a Postgres table so engineers work in SQL while the team edits Pages in Notion, mapping status, date, and assignee properties both ways.
  • 03 Mirror commission Transactions and Credits into a data warehouse to power rep-facing dashboards and comp-plan analytics without manual exports.
  • 04 Sync Participants, Positions, Titles, and Quotas from an HRIS/HCM and planning tools into Xactly so the org hierarchy and targets stay aligned with headcount changes.

Common sync patterns

Where Notion can store CRM context: fields kept current

Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Xactly sync into Notion, so people working there have the context without switching tools.

Where Notion supplies contact or company data

Enriched fields land directly on records in Xactly, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

What you can sync between Notion 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.

Notion objects Xactly objects How this pairing syncs
Formula and Rollup properties Values computed by Notion from other fields; read-only, so they are pulled out for reporting but never written back. Payment Summary (Payable) Approved payable amounts per participant per period; read as the output that feeds payroll and accounts payable, so effectively read-only. Formula and Rollup properties is specific to Notion and Payment Summary (Payable) to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Workspace members and bots referenced by people properties; read-only — users cannot be created or invited through the API. 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. Users is specific to Notion and Products & Customers to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Comments Page and inline discussion threads; can be read and created, useful for surfacing Notion activity in another system. 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. Comments is specific to Notion and Orders to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Files and attachments File-property and file-block values. Notion-hosted URLs are temporary and expire, so files are re-fetched or copied at sync time. Credits Crediting records that tie an order to a participant and position; system-calculated credits are read, while manual and adjustment credits are loaded through Connect, so read and write. Files and attachments is specific to Notion and Credits to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Pages The core content unit and also every row of a database; synced two-way as records, with typed properties mapping to table columns. Transactions (Commission & Bonus) Calculated commission and bonus line items produced by Incent's calculation engine; read as the output of comp runs for reporting and downstream payout, so effectively read-only results. Pages is specific to Notion and Transactions (Commission & Bonus) to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases / Data sources Collections of pages with a typed property schema. Since the 2025-09-03 API a database is a container holding one or more data sources; syncs target a specific data_source_id. 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. Databases / Data sources is specific to Notion and Participants (Payees) to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Notion 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.

Notion Xactly Sub-second propagation

DetectionNotion notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Workspace webhooks (page.created, page.content_updated, data_source.schema_updated, comment.created.

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

Xactly Notion 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 written to Notion through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Notion: Average of ~3 requests/second per integration with some bursts; 429 with a Retry-After header when exceeded. Payloads capped at 500 KB and 1000 block elements.
  • 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 Notion and Xactly connectors work

Notion

Integration surface
REST API (api.notion.com/v1)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 for public integrations, or an internal integration secret (bearer token); every request must send a Notion-Version header
Change detection
Workspace webhooks (page.created, page.content_updated, data_source.schema_updated, comment.created; HMAC-SHA256 signed) plus polling on each page's last_edited_time
Capabilities

Rate limits
Average of ~3 requests/second per integration with some bursts; 429 with a Retry-After header when exceeded. Payloads capped at 500 KB and 1000 block elements.

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

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.
