Why teams connect Salesforce and Seismic

Run Salesforce and Seismic side by side with the same accounts and contacts in both, whether they serve different teams or one is replacing the other.

Two CRMs in one company is more common than anyone plans for: an acquisition brings its own system, regions or business units standardize differently, or a migration is under way and both are live. In every case, some of the same companies and people exist in both systems, and every day of manual double entry pushes the copies further apart.

Stacksync syncs Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Cases in Salesforce with Library Content, Content Versions, Users, User Groups in Seismic in real time and in both directions, with field-level mapping and matching on identifiers you choose. Update a record in either CRM and the other reflects it within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate multiple Salesforce orgs into a single database for cross-org reporting after an acquisition.
  • 02 Sync Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities bi-directionally with Postgres so engineering teams read and write CRM data with plain SQL.
  • 03 Provision and deactivate Seismic Users and User Groups from an HRIS or IdP so content access mirrors joiner, mover, and leaver changes.
  • 04 Extract content-interaction and LiveSend engagement from the Reporting API v2 into a warehouse to tie asset views to CRM Opportunities.

Common sync patterns

Post-acquisition consolidation

Keep both CRMs accurate while the merged team decides on a target system, instead of freezing one and losing months of updates.

Migration with a parallel run

When one CRM is replacing the other, run both fully live until cutover, with no snapshot gap and no data freeze.

Divisional or regional split

Where each CRM serves a different team or region, sync just the shared accounts and contacts so handoffs and cross-sell work.

What you can sync between Salesforce 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.

Salesforce objects Seismic objects How this pairing syncs
Custom Objects Org-specific tables with the __c suffix; discoverable via describe metadata so field mappings can be generated. Digital Sales Rooms Buyer-facing microsites (DSRs); lifecycle and content-change events surface via webhooks, currently marked Early Access. Custom Objects is specific to Salesforce and Digital Sales Rooms to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Accounts Company records that anchor most syncs; typically mapped to customer tables in a database or ERP. Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. Accounts is specific to Salesforce and Reporting Activities to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts People linked to Accounts; synced two-way with marketing, support, and warehouse person records. Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. Contacts is specific to Salesforce and Library Content to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Leads Unqualified prospects; often written into Salesforce from enrichment or product-signup pipelines. Content Versions Version history for a library item; new versions upload via API and old ones expire, with events firing on ContentManager webhooks. Leads is specific to Salesforce and Content Versions to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Opportunities Deal records with stage and amount; synced to databases for pipeline reporting and to ERPs at close. Users User records managed through SCIM 2.0 and legacy user endpoints; created, updated, and deactivated for provisioning sync. Opportunities is specific to Salesforce and Users to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cases Support records; synced with help desk tools or internal databases for escalation workflows. User Groups Group definitions and membership that govern content access; synced from an IdP or HRIS to keep permissions current. Cases is specific to Salesforce and User Groups to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Salesforce 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.

Salesforce Seismic Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Salesforce are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Apex triggers are used whenever possible (Salesforce actively notifies Stacksync via an Apex trigger + callout class + remote site setting).

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

Seismic Salesforce 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 written to Salesforce through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Salesforce: Daily API request allocations vary by edition and license count.
  • 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.
