Why teams connect Affinity and Anaplan

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between Anaplan and Affinity in real time, so sales sees the money and finance sees the relationship.

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Affinity knows the relationship: who the contacts are and what is in motion with the account. Anaplan knows the money: what was invoiced, what was paid, what is overdue. When the two are connected only by exports, each side works partly blind.

Stacksync links Versions, Import and Export Actions, Processes, Cell Data in Anaplan to Persons, Organizations, Opportunities, Field Values in Affinity with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, updated billing details, invoice status, and payment activity move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. The result is one version of each customer, visible from both sides.

Common use cases

  • Load actuals from an ERP or warehouse into Anaplan modules so forecasts start from current financials.
  • Sync CRM pipeline data into Anaplan for sales capacity and quota planning.
  • Push enrichment data computed elsewhere into Affinity field values on list entries.
  • Keep introductions and relationship data from Affinity aligned with outreach tools used by the team.

Where Affinity tracks deals: closed-won creates the finance record

A won opportunity creates or updates the customer in Anaplan with the right billing details, so invoicing starts without re-keying.

Collections with context

Finance sees the account owner and relationship history from Affinity when chasing a balance, and sales sees that the chase is happening.

What you can sync between Affinity and Anaplan

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.
