Why teams connect Postgres Heroku and Seismic

Treat Seismic like part of your database: its records live in Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Content Versions, Users, User Groups, Teamsites from Seismic into Materialized Views, Schemas, Primary and Unique Keys, JSONB Columns in Postgres Heroku with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Seismic 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

  • 01 Provision and deactivate Seismic Users and User Groups from an HRIS or IdP so content access mirrors joiner, mover, and leaver changes.
  • 02 Extract content-interaction and LiveSend engagement from the Reporting API v2 into a warehouse to tie asset views to CRM Opportunities.
  • 03 Expose CRM objects as Postgres tables the Heroku application can query and join directly
  • 04 Sync Heroku Postgres into a warehouse for reporting without running ETL dynos

Common sync patterns

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Postgres Heroku sync onto the matching records in Seismic, 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 Seismic API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Seismic arrive as row changes in Postgres Heroku, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

What you can sync between Postgres Heroku and Seismic

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.

Postgres Heroku objects Seismic objects How this pairing syncs
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. LiveSend Links Trackable content-share links created via the engagement API; their open and view engagement is read back through Reporting. Materialized Views is specific to Postgres Heroku and LiveSend Links to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. Digital Sales Rooms Buyer-facing microsites (DSRs); lifecycle and content-change events surface via webhooks, currently marked Early Access. Schemas is specific to Postgres Heroku and Digital Sales Rooms to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems. Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to Postgres Heroku and Reporting Activities to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata. Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. JSONB Columns is specific to Postgres Heroku and Library Content to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Content Versions Version history for a library item; new versions upload via API and old ones expire, with events firing on ContentManager webhooks. Sequences is specific to Postgres Heroku and Content Versions to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. Users User records managed through SCIM 2.0 and legacy user endpoints; created, updated, and deactivated for provisioning sync. Follower Databases is specific to Postgres Heroku and Users to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Postgres Heroku and Seismic

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.

Postgres Heroku Seismic Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Postgres Heroku for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations.

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

Seismic Postgres Heroku Sub-second propagation

DetectionSeismic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for content, version, user, group, workflow, DSR, and LiveSend events.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Postgres Heroku as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Postgres Heroku: No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan.
  • Seismic: Tiered per-endpoint limits over a rolling 60-second window; exceeding returns HTTP 429, with X-Seismic-Remaining-Calls and X-Seismic-Total-Calls headers.
