Why teams connect PostgreSQL and Seismic

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

Stacksync mirrors User Groups, Teamsites, LiveSend Links, Digital Sales Rooms from Seismic into JSONB Columns, Sequences, Custom Types and Enums, Tables in PostgreSQL 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 Extract content-interaction and LiveSend engagement from the Reporting API v2 into a warehouse to tie asset views to CRM Opportunities.
  • 02 Sync Library Content metadata and Custom Property Schemas with a DAM or PIM so one taxonomy governs assets across systems.
  • 03 Expose SaaS objects (CRM contacts, ERP invoices, support tickets) as Postgres tables that internal tools can query and join
  • 04 Let an application write to its own database and have those rows appear as records in business systems in near real time

Common sync patterns

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

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

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Seismic become tables in PostgreSQL you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to PostgreSQL sync onto the matching records in Seismic, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

What you can sync between PostgreSQL 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.

PostgreSQL objects Seismic objects How this pairing syncs
Views Read-side projections used to expose joined or filtered data to a sync. Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. Views is specific to PostgreSQL and Reporting Activities to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on a refresh schedule. Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. Materialized Views is specific to PostgreSQL and Library Content 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. Content Versions Version history for a library item; new versions upload via API and old ones expire, with events firing on ContentManager webhooks. Schemas is specific to PostgreSQL and Content Versions to Seismic — 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. Users User records managed through SCIM 2.0 and legacy user endpoints; created, updated, and deactivated for provisioning sync. Columns is specific to PostgreSQL and Users to Seismic — 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. User Groups Group definitions and membership that govern content access; synced from an IdP or HRIS to keep permissions current. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to PostgreSQL and User Groups to Seismic — 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. Teamsites Tenant-scoped workspace partitions organizing Library content, permissions, and config; scoped by teamSiteId on most content calls. JSONB Columns is specific to PostgreSQL and Teamsites to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between PostgreSQL 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.

PostgreSQL Seismic 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 Seismic through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Seismic PostgreSQL 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 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.
  • 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.
