Why teams connect Pendo and SAP Hana

Give Pendo the users, events, and records that live in SAP Hana in real time, and sync the cohorts and scores Pendo computes back into SAP Hana where your applications read them.

A database holds the rows your business runs on: the users, events, orders, and records that every service reads and writes. Pendo is where people make sense of them, as dashboards, funnels, cohorts, and metrics. Moving the data from SAP Hana into Pendo usually means a hand-built extract or a change-data-capture pipeline that breaks the moment a column is renamed, and reporting that always trails last night's load.

Stacksync syncs SQL views, Schemas, Sequences, Triggers in SAP Hana with Page Events, Guide Events, Poll / NPS Responses, Features / Pages / Guides (metadata) in Pendo in real time and in both directions. Operational rows flow into Pendo as they change, so dashboards read current data with no pipeline to maintain, and the segments, cohorts, or scores Pendo computes flow back into SAP Hana, where the applications and services that read from it get them at normal query latency. Field-level mapping, schema and type translation, and conflict resolution are handled for you.

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 Detect inserts, updates, and deletes on high-write tables via AFTER triggers or a last-modified column and replicate the deltas downstream near-real-time.
  • 04 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.

Common sync patterns

Filter and grouping dimensions kept fresh

Attributes teams slice by, such as plan, region, or account owner, stay current in Pendo because they sync from SAP Hana as they change, instead of going stale after a one-time import.

Where Pendo tracks product events: behavior onto stored records

Signup, usage, and lifecycle events captured in Pendo sync into SAP Hana as rows, so applications and internal tools can read behavioral data next to the records they already keep.

Where Pendo builds cohorts or scores: results your services can read

Segments, cohorts, or scores computed in Pendo sync back into SAP Hana, where the services that read from the database act on them at query speed without calling the analytics API.

What you can sync between Pendo and SAP Hana

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 Hana 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. System views (SYS schema) Catalog and monitoring views such as SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS; read to discover schema and auto-generate field mappings for new tables. Visitors is specific to Pendo and System views (SYS schema) to SAP Hana — 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. Column store tables HANA's default table type, optimized for analytics; synced two-way as rows over the SQL interface with the primary key driving upserts and delete tracking. Accounts is specific to Pendo and Column store tables to SAP Hana — 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. Row store tables OLTP-oriented tables held fully in memory; read and written the same way through the SAP HANA client for high-write operational tables. Feature Events is specific to Pendo and Row store tables to SAP Hana — 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. Calculation views Modeled analytic views over base tables; read-only sources for pushing aggregated or joined results into a warehouse or downstream app. Page Events is specific to Pendo and Calculation views to SAP Hana — 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. SQL views Standard database views; read-only projections synced outbound when the source data should not be exposed as raw base tables. Guide Events is specific to Pendo and SQL views to SAP Hana — 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. Schemas Namespaces that group tables and views; the connector targets a schema and enumerates its objects from the catalog to build the sync. Poll / NPS Responses is specific to Pendo and Schemas to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Pendo and SAP Hana

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

SAP Hana Pendo Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SAP Hana are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table.

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 Hana: No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.

How the Pendo and SAP Hana 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
read · write
Rate limits
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 Hana

Integration surface
SQL over the SAP HANA client (JDBC/ODBC drivers); OData/REST via XS for app-layer access
Authentication
Dedicated database user credentials over an encrypted TLS connection (password sent hashed); Kerberos, SAML, JWT, and X.509 certificate authentication are also supported. SAP HANA Cloud enforces TLS and IP allowlisting.
Change detection
Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table; system-versioned temporal tables and SLT/SDI provide trigger- and log-based CDC. No native webhooks.
Capabilities

Rate limits
No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.
