Why teams connect Affinity and Databricks

Sync Affinity into Databricks 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. Lists, List Entries, Persons, Organizations from Affinity land in Databricks as live tables, updated within seconds, and columns computed in Databricks 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

  • Keep introductions and relationship data from Affinity aligned with outreach tools used by the team.
  • Sync notes and reminders into project or task systems used outside the deal team.
  • Land CRM and ERP records in Delta tables continuously so lakehouse models work from current operational data.
  • Use Change Data Feed to propagate only changed rows to downstream apps instead of full-table scans.

A single customer view

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

Cleanup that sticks

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

CRM analytics on live data

Accounts, contacts, and activity from Affinity are queryable in Databricks moments after they change, so dashboards stop lagging the reality they describe.

What you can sync between Affinity and Databricks

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 Databricks objects
List Entries The membership of a person, organization, or opportunity on a list, carrying its list-specific fields. Volumes Unity Catalog file storage used for staging bulk loads.
Persons Contact records enriched with relationship intelligence, synced with CRMs and outreach tools. SQL Warehouses The compute endpoint a sync connects to for query execution.
Organizations Company records matched to accounts in other systems by domain. Change Data Feed Row-level change records on Delta tables that drive incremental reads.
Opportunities Deal records tracked on lists and synced with pipeline reporting. Catalogs Top level of the Unity Catalog namespace, scoping which schemas a sync can address.
Field Values Custom field data, either global or scoped to a list, mapped field-by-field in syncs. Schemas Group tables and views; syncs typically target a dedicated schema per source system.
Notes Meeting and call notes synced for record-keeping in other systems. Delta Tables The primary read and write target; operational data lands here as managed or external tables.
