Why teams connect Affinity and IBM Db2

Treat Affinity like part of your database: its records live in IBM Db2 as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

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 IBM Db2, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Notes, Interactions, Reminders, Lists from Affinity into Schemas, Tables, Views, Indexes in IBM Db2 with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Affinity with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

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.
  • Replicate Db2 tables into a cloud warehouse continuously instead of nightly batch extracts.
  • Keep reference and master data aligned between Db2 and newer cloud databases during modernization projects.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Affinity become tables in IBM Db2 you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to IBM Db2 sync onto the matching records in Affinity, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Affinity API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between Affinity and IBM Db2

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 IBM Db2 objects
Organizations Company records matched to accounts in other systems by domain. Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects.
Opportunities Deal records tracked on lists and synced with pipeline reporting. Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases.
Field Values Custom field data, either global or scoped to a list, mapped field-by-field in syncs. Views Read-only projections often used to expose curated slices to a sync.
Notes Meeting and call notes synced for record-keeping in other systems. Indexes Support fast key lookups on sync match columns.
Interactions Automatically captured emails and meetings, read for activity reporting. Stored Procedures Existing business logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths.
Reminders Follow-up tasks associated with people and organizations. Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows.
