Why teams connect Rollworks and SQL Server

Give your team Rollworks's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in SQL Server: 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 SQL Server, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Reporting and Attribution, Target Account Lists, Account Tiers, Accounts (TAL Items) from Rollworks into Primary and Unique Keys, CDC Change Tables, Stored Procedures, Databases in SQL Server 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 SQL Server, 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 Feed a cloud warehouse from SQL Server continuously using native CDC instead of SSIS batch jobs
  • 02 Consolidate branch or plant databases into a single operational SQL Server hub
  • 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

Engagement and results next to the customer

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

React to marketing changes as row changes

A new lead, form fill, or list change in Rollworks arrives as a row change in SQL Server, so scoring, jobs, and notifications run in the tooling your team already uses.

Keep contact attributes consistent

Lifecycle stage, subscription status, or plan maintained on either side stays current on the other, ending exports and dual data entry.

What you can sync between Rollworks and SQL Server

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.

Rollworks objects SQL Server objects How this pairing syncs
Account Tiers Groups within a Target Account List; an account belongs to only one tier per list, so tier assignments are written from source-of-truth data to drive tiered targeting. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling. Account Tiers is specific to Rollworks and Primary and Unique Keys to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. CDC Change Tables System-populated tables holding captured inserts, updates, and deletes for consumers. Accounts (TAL Items) is specific to Rollworks and CDC Change Tables to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Stored Procedures T-SQL logic that can validate or post-process synced rows. Audience Segments is specific to Rollworks and Stored Procedures to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Databases Instance-level databases that scope a sync's reads and writes. Campaigns is specific to Rollworks and Databases to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Schemas Namespaces (dbo and custom) used to organize synced tables. Ad Groups and Ads is specific to Rollworks and Schemas to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Reporting and Attribution is specific to Rollworks and Tables to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Rollworks and SQL Server

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.

Rollworks SQL Server 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 SQL Server as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

SQL Server Rollworks Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SQL Server are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SQL Server Native Change Data Capture (CDC).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • SQL Server: No API rate limits; throughput depends on instance resources, licensing tier, and connection limits.
