Why teams connect Pendo and Vertica

Put the same events, users, and metrics on both sides: Pendo and Vertica stay current in real time, in both directions.

Pendo is where teams explore, visualize, and report; Vertica is the store of record that holds the raw tables and full history behind those views. The two overlap wherever the same events, users, and metrics matter to both, and when the bridge between them is a nightly export or a hand-built extract, dashboards lag the warehouse and analysts spend the morning arguing over whose number is right.

Stacksync syncs Features / Pages / Guides (metadata), Visitors, Accounts, Feature Events in Pendo with Tables, Projections, Views, Flex Tables in Vertica field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set. Whether the flow is warehouse tables feeding live reports or captured events and segments landing back in Vertica, every copy stays consistent.

Common use cases

  • 01 Set custom Visitor fields (role, lifecycle stage, entitlement) from the warehouse so in-app guides reach the right users without manual CSV uploads.
  • 02 Sync Pendo Visitors and Accounts into a data model to score product-qualified accounts alongside behavioral event data.
  • 03 Land ERP transactions in Vertica for finance analytics without maintaining hand-built ETL jobs.
  • 04 Push segments or aggregates computed in Vertica back into operational tools such as a CRM.

Common sync patterns

Where Pendo produces segments or scores: results back to the warehouse

Cohorts, segments, and computed metrics defined in Pendo write to Vertica as tables the rest of the stack can query and join.

Shared user and account keys

Users and accounts tracked in Pendo line up with the customer or user rows in Vertica on a stable key, so both sides count the same population.

Corrections propagate instead of reloading

When a record is fixed or backfilled on one side, the change reaches the other without a full reload, keeping history consistent across both.

What you can sync between Pendo and Vertica

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 Vertica objects How this pairing syncs
Page Events Page-view events for tagged pages; read-only via the Aggregation API, used for adoption and path analysis in a warehouse. Views Logical views used to shape reads for downstream consumers. Page Events is specific to Pendo and Views to Vertica — 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. Flex Tables Schema-flexible tables for semi-structured JSON data landed before modeling. Guide Events is specific to Pendo and Flex Tables to Vertica — 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. External Tables Data queried in place on files or object storage without loading. Poll / NPS Responses is specific to Pendo and External Tables to Vertica — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Features / Pages / Guides (metadata) Definitions of tagged UI elements listed through the entity endpoints; read-only reference used to label and join the event streams. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by domain or source. Features / Pages / Guides (metadata) is specific to Pendo and Schemas to Vertica — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Tables Columnar tables; the primary read and write targets for syncs. Visitors is specific to Pendo and Tables to Vertica — 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. Projections Sorted, encoded physical copies of table data that the optimizer selects at query time; they affect load and query behavior rather than being addressed directly. Accounts is specific to Pendo and Projections to Vertica — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Pendo and Vertica

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 Vertica 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 Vertica as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Vertica Pendo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Vertica for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction-log CDC.

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.
  • Vertica: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by cluster resources, and bulk COPY is preferred over row-by-row writes.

How the Pendo and Vertica 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.

Vertica

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC, ODBC, and ADO.NET drivers
Authentication
Database credentials, with LDAP, Kerberos, and OAuth options in enterprise deployments
Change detection
No exposed transaction-log CDC; polling on timestamp or epoch columns
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by cluster resources, and bulk COPY is preferred over row-by-row writes.
