Why teams connect Pendo and Yellowbrick

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

Pendo is where teams explore, visualize, and report; Yellowbrick 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 Feature Events, Page Events, Guide Events, Poll / NPS Responses in Pendo with Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views in Yellowbrick 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 Yellowbrick, 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 transactional extracts in Yellowbrick for finance and supply-chain analytics.
  • 04 Push warehouse-computed aggregates or segments 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 Yellowbrick 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 Yellowbrick 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 Yellowbrick

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 Yellowbrick objects How this pairing syncs
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. Databases Top-level containers for schemas and tables. Feature Events is specific to Pendo and Databases to Yellowbrick — 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. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by source or domain. Page Events is specific to Pendo and Schemas to Yellowbrick — 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. Tables Columnar MPP tables; the primary targets for warehouse syncs. Guide Events is specific to Pendo and Tables to Yellowbrick — 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. Views Logical views used to shape reads for BI and downstream syncs. Poll / NPS Responses is specific to Pendo and Views to Yellowbrick — 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. Users and Roles Access-control objects that govern what a sync service account can read and write. Features / Pages / Guides (metadata) is specific to Pendo and Users and Roles to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Pendo and Yellowbrick

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

Yellowbrick Pendo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Yellowbrick for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp columns.

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.
  • Yellowbrick: No API rate limits; throughput depends on cluster sizing, and bulk loads should use ybload rather than row-by-row inserts.

How the Pendo and Yellowbrick 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.

Yellowbrick

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible) with JDBC/ODBC drivers; bulk loading via the ybload utility
Authentication
Database credentials, with LDAP and Kerberos options in enterprise deployments
Change detection
Polling on timestamp columns; no exposed transaction-log CDC
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput depends on cluster sizing, and bulk loads should use ybload rather than row-by-row inserts.
