Why teams connect PostgreSQL and Rollworks

Give your team Rollworks's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in PostgreSQL: query them with SQL, push audiences built from your own data back to Rollworks, and skip the marketing API.

Rollworks holds the people, audiences, and campaign activity that marketing runs on, but that data sits behind interfaces built for marketers, not for your internal systems. Engineers and analysts who need contacts, list membership, or engagement, for reporting, attribution, or product logic, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it forever. Meanwhile the customer and usage data marketers want for targeting already lives in PostgreSQL, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Account Tiers, Accounts (TAL Items), Audience Segments, Campaigns from Rollworks into Columns, Primary and Unique Keys, JSONB Columns, Sequences in PostgreSQL field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Marketing records become rows your code can query and join with product and customer data; audiences and attributes computed in PostgreSQL, from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Rollworks to drive campaigns and ads, with Rollworks kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate data from several microservice databases into one operational Postgres store
  • 02 Feed reporting and BI from a continuously synced Postgres replica instead of scheduled ETL scripts
  • 03 Activate high-intent accounts by writing them into a Target Account List tier when a product or intent signal fires in an operational database.
  • 04 Create and edit Prospecting v2 Campaigns and Ad Groups programmatically so budgets and targeting stay in step with an internal planning system.

Common sync patterns

Query Rollworks like a database

Contacts, leads, audiences, and campaign metrics from Rollworks live in PostgreSQL as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data and reachable without touching the vendor API.

Build audiences from your own data

Segments computed in PostgreSQL from product usage, orders, or account status sync into Rollworks as lists or audiences, so campaigns and ads target the people your data says they should.

Engagement and results next to the customer

Opens, clicks, sends, RSVPs, or ad activity from Rollworks land in PostgreSQL beside the matching customer record, ready for reporting and revenue attribution.

What you can sync between PostgreSQL and Rollworks

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.

PostgreSQL objects Rollworks objects How this pairing syncs
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on a refresh schedule. Accounts (TAL Items) Individual accounts identified by domain; added or removed via the tier items endpoint (POST/DELETE) so an operational database can control which domains are targeted. Materialized Views is specific to PostgreSQL and Accounts (TAL Items) to Rollworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. Audience Segments CRM (email), custom (cookie or ID), and lookalike segments created via /audience/v1/segments; membership is written from a warehouse with a duration of 1 to 540 days. Schemas is specific to PostgreSQL and Audience Segments to Rollworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Field-level mapping targets; types are mapped to the connected system's field types. Campaigns Prospecting v2 campaigns running on Web and LinkedIn with budget, KPI, and flight settings; created and edited via API and read back for status and pacing. Columns is specific to PostgreSQL and Campaigns to Rollworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Unique Keys Used as match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict resolution. Ad Groups and Ads Campaign subdivisions carrying attribute, contextual, geo, and device targeting plus creative; read and written to keep targeting aligned with an internal planning system. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to PostgreSQL and Ad Groups and Ads to Rollworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
JSONB Columns Hold semi-structured payloads such as nested SaaS objects or metadata. Reporting and Attribution Delivery and attribution metrics (impressions, clicks, cost, conversions, view-throughs) from the GraphQL Reporting API; read-only, aggregated by campaign, ad, and account domain. JSONB Columns is specific to PostgreSQL and Reporting and Attribution to Rollworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Target Account Lists Named lists of B2B accounts for ABM; managed through /audience/v1/target_accounts so a CRM or warehouse can push and reconcile the accounts RollWorks advertises against. Sequences is specific to PostgreSQL and Target Account Lists to Rollworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between PostgreSQL and Rollworks

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.

PostgreSQL Rollworks Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in PostgreSQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication (wal_level = logical) for change data capture via the "Postgres" connector.

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

Rollworks PostgreSQL Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Rollworks for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling — reporting is pulled via GraphQL queries and account/audience membership is reconciled on a schedule.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • PostgreSQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits, instance resources, and replication slot throughput.
  • Rollworks: NextRoll does not publish explicit rate limits; access tokens expire 24 hours after issue and refresh tokens rotate on use, so long-running syncs must keep refreshing credentials.
