Why teams connect Pendo and SAP

Put SAP's records into Pendo as live data for reporting and dashboards, without nightly exports, and send the segments and metrics Pendo computes back where SAP can use them.

ERP data is some of the most requested data for analysis and some of the hardest to pull: the record types are many, the APIs are strict, and export jobs break on every upgrade. Whether SAP carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, those numbers belong in Pendo, next to the product, behavioral, and web data the team already measures.

Stacksync syncs Cost Centers, Business Partners, Materials (Products), Sales Orders from SAP into Pendo continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as it goes, so each record type arrives as Poll / NPS Responses, Features / Pages / Guides (metadata), Visitors, Accounts ready to report on. The connection is bi-directional, so segments, scores, and metrics computed in Pendo can be written back to fields in SAP where that is useful.

Common use cases

  • 01 Export feature, page, and guide Events out of Pendo over event-time windows into Postgres or a warehouse so product usage joins with CRM, billing, and support data in SQL.
  • 02 Pull NPS scores and poll responses into a database so voice-of-customer sits next to revenue, renewal, and churn signals for analysis.
  • 03 Keep MES and WMS systems aligned with production orders and goods movements.
  • 04 Expose sales order and delivery status to customer portals through a synced Postgres database instead of direct SAP access.

Common sync patterns

Write-back where SAP exposes writable fields: segments and scores return

Segments, scores, or metrics computed in Pendo sync onto the matching records in SAP, so operations act on what the analysis found.

Where SAP holds the books: revenue and finance dashboards from live data

Financial records from SAP land in Pendo as they change, so revenue, margin, and spend dashboards read current figures rather than last night's export.

Where SAP runs order-to-cash: customer and account analytics

Orders, invoices, and account records from SAP join the behavioral and usage data Pendo already tracks, so customer analysis spans activity and dollars in one view.

What you can sync between Pendo and SAP

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.

Pendo objects SAP objects How this pairing syncs
Visitors End-user records with agent-collected and custom fields; queried through the Aggregation API and enriched with custom fields written back via the Metadata API. GL Accounts and Journal Entries Financial postings replicated to warehouses for group finance analytics. Visitors is specific to Pendo and GL Accounts and Journal Entries to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Accounts Company/workspace records that roll visitors up to an account dimension; readable via Aggregation and a write target for custom fields (plan, ARR, health) via the Metadata API. Production Orders Manufacturing orders exchanged with MES and scheduling systems. Accounts is specific to Pendo and Production Orders to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Feature Events Click/interaction events on tagged features, read-only through the Aggregation API over an event-time window and joined to the Feature definitions. Inventory / Stock Plant and storage-location quantities synced to storefronts and planning tools. Feature Events is specific to Pendo and Inventory / Stock to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Page Events Page-view events for tagged pages; read-only via the Aggregation API, used for adoption and path analysis in a warehouse. Cost Centers Controlling masters read for mapping costs in finance integrations. Page Events is specific to Pendo and Cost Centers to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Guide Events Guide seen/advanced/dismissed and step events for in-app walkthroughs; read-only through the Aggregation API to measure onboarding flow adoption. Business Partners The unified customer and supplier master in S/4HANA, the anchor object for CRM and procurement syncs. Guide Events is specific to Pendo and Business Partners to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Poll / NPS Responses Survey answers and NPS scores captured in-app (pollEvents / npsEvents); read-only via the Aggregation API as voice-of-customer data. Materials (Products) Item master with plant and sales views, synced to commerce, PLM, and CRM systems. Poll / NPS Responses is specific to Pendo and Materials (Products) to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Pendo and SAP

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.

Pendo SAP Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pendo for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows.

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

SAP Pendo Sub-second propagation

DetectionSAP notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Business events via SAP Event Mesh on S/4HANA.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Pendo: Pendo does not publish fixed numeric limits; it throttles heavy Aggregation queries with 429s and caps/paginates large responses, so wide exports are paced and time-windowed.
  • SAP: Throttling is configured at the gateway and tenant level rather than as a single published rate limit.

How the Pendo and SAP connectors work

Pendo

Integration surface
Pendo Engage API (REST) on app.pendo.io (US) / app.eu.pendo.io (EU), base path /api/v1/ - Aggregation API for reads and the Metadata API for writes
Authentication
Integration key sent in the x-pendo-integration-key header, generated in Subscription Settings; keys are scoped read-only or read/write, so writes require a read/write key
Change detection
Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows; no change-data-capture feed and no data-change webhooks. Writes go through the Metadata API on demand.
Capabilities

Rate limits

Change detection
Business events via SAP Event Mesh on S/4HANA; change pointers with IDocs or timestamp polling on ECC
