Why teams connect OpenSearch and Salesforce

Treat Salesforce 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 Leads, Opportunities, Cases, Campaigns from Salesforce into Ingest pipelines, Data streams, Snapshots, Indexes in OpenSearch with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Salesforce 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

  • Sync Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities bi-directionally with Postgres so engineering teams read and write CRM data with plain SQL.
  • Write product usage metrics computed in a warehouse onto Account and Contact fields so reps see adoption signals on the record.
  • Stream CRM records such as accounts, contacts, and tickets into OpenSearch to power internal search across customer data.
  • Sync product catalogs from an ERP or database into the indexes that back storefront search.

Query the CRM like a database

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

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to OpenSearch sync onto the matching records in Salesforce, 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 Salesforce API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between OpenSearch and Salesforce

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.

OpenSearch objects Salesforce objects
Documents JSON records written via the index and bulk APIs and read via search queries Contacts People linked to Accounts; synced two-way with marketing, support, and warehouse person records.
Index aliases Stable names over rotating indexes, used for zero-downtime reindex during backfills Leads Unqualified prospects; often written into Salesforce from enrichment or product-signup pipelines.
Index templates Mapping and settings presets applied to new indexes a sync creates Opportunities Deal records with stage and amount; synced to databases for pipeline reporting and to ERPs at close.
Ingest pipelines Server-side processors that transform documents as they are written Cases Support records; synced with help desk tools or internal databases for escalation workflows.
Data streams Append-oriented time-series storage for logs and events pushed from source systems Campaigns Marketing membership data; read out for attribution analysis in the warehouse.
Snapshots Backup artifacts, relevant when reseeding an index from a repository Tasks and Events Activity records; usually read-only in syncs to feed activity reporting.

How the OpenSearch and Salesforce connectors work

OpenSearch

Integration surface
REST API over HTTP(S) with JSON payloads
Authentication
basic authentication with the security plugin, or AWS IAM request signing on Amazon OpenSearch Service
Change detection
no native change feed; reads rely on queries with scroll or point-in-time polling
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
throughput bounded by cluster sizing rather than fixed API quotas

Salesforce

Integration surface
REST, SOAP, and Bulk APIs
Authentication
OAuth login via a Salesforce user (browser-based authorization flow); requires "API Enabled" permission for polling mode, plus "Author Apex" and "Customize Application" OR "Modify All Data" for trigger mode
Change detection
Apex triggers are used whenever possible (Salesforce actively notifies Stacksync via an Apex trigger + callout class + remote site setting)
