Why teams connect 6sense and Postgres Heroku

Treat 6sense 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.

6sense is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Postgres Heroku, so Postgres Heroku always reflects the current state of 6sense — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

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.

Common use cases

  • Land account-level intent data in a warehouse to join with pipeline data for ABM reporting.
  • Enrich inbound leads with 6sense firmographic and account-match data before routing.
  • Keep several Heroku app databases aligned with one system of record
  • Reflect billing and subscription records into the app database so product logic reads local rows

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in 6sense arrive as row changes in Postgres Heroku, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from 6sense become tables in Postgres Heroku you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Postgres Heroku sync onto the matching records in 6sense, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

What you can sync between 6sense and Postgres Heroku

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.

6sense objects Postgres Heroku objects
Segments Dynamic account lists built from intent and fit criteria, read out to drive targeting. Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs.
Buying Stage Scores Model-predicted stage per account, synced onto CRM records for prioritization. Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources.
Intent Signals Keyword-level research activity used to flag in-market accounts. Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data.
People / Contacts Persona and contact data surfaced for accounts, used to build outreach lists. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs.
Reach Scores Model scores reflecting the level and recency of outreach to an account or contact, used to prioritize follow-up. Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh.
Accounts Company records enriched with firmographics and intent data, matched to CRM accounts. Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes.
