Why teams connect Affinity and Azure Synapse Analytics

Sync Affinity into Azure Synapse Analytics continuously and push warehouse results back onto CRM records, one two-way connection instead of two pipelines.

The CRM feeds the warehouse and the warehouse should feed the CRM: relationship data flows one way, and computed scores, segments, and customer context flow back. Most teams build the first half as a batch pipeline and never quite get to the second.

Stacksync does both with one connection. Interactions, Reminders, Lists, List Entries from Affinity land in Azure Synapse Analytics as live tables, updated within seconds, and columns computed in Azure Synapse Analytics write back to fields in Affinity. There is no separate ETL and reverse-ETL stack to stitch together and no jobs to babysit.

Common use cases

  • Mirror deal-flow lists into a warehouse or BI tool for pipeline and portfolio reporting.
  • Push enrichment data computed elsewhere into Affinity field values on list entries.
  • Sync curated Synapse views into an operational Postgres or Azure SQL database that applications can query cheaply.
  • Consolidate SaaS data alongside lake data so analysts join both through one SQL surface.

Scores and segments back on the record

Lead scores, churn risk, or usage segments computed in Azure Synapse Analytics appear as fields in Affinity, where the people working accounts actually see them.

A single customer view

Join Affinity's relationship data with billing, product, and support data in Azure Synapse Analytics to build the customer picture the CRM alone cannot hold.

Cleanup that sticks

Deduplication and normalization done in Azure Synapse Analytics can be written back, so warehouse-side cleanup actually fixes the CRM.

What you can sync between Affinity and Azure Synapse Analytics

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.

Affinity objects Azure Synapse Analytics objects
Persons Contact records enriched with relationship intelligence, synced with CRMs and outreach tools. External tables Tables over files in the data lake, queried through serverless SQL and often read-only in syncs.
Organizations Company records matched to accounts in other systems by domain. Views Curated projections used when downstream tools should not read base tables directly.
Opportunities Deal records tracked on lists and synced with pipeline reporting. Schemas Namespaces that separate staging, integration, and presentation layers.
Field Values Custom field data, either global or scoped to a list, mapped field-by-field in syncs. Materialized views Precomputed aggregates that speed reads of frequently synced result sets.
Notes Meeting and call notes synced for record-keeping in other systems. SQL pools Dedicated or serverless compute contexts that determine how and where queries run.
Interactions Automatically captured emails and meetings, read for activity reporting. Tables (dedicated SQL pool) Distributed warehouse tables that serve as sync destinations for analytics workloads.
