Why teams connect Affinity and InterSystems IRIS

Treat Affinity like part of your database: its records live in InterSystems IRIS 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 InterSystems IRIS, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Field Values, Notes, Interactions, Reminders from Affinity into Schemas, Persistent Classes, Globals, Namespaces in InterSystems IRIS 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

  • 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.
  • Write enriched or corrected records from SaaS apps back into IRIS tables for on-platform processing
  • Replicate IRIS tables to Postgres so application teams can build against a familiar database

Query the CRM like a database

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

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to InterSystems IRIS 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 InterSystems IRIS

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 InterSystems IRIS objects
Reminders Follow-up tasks associated with people and organizations. Views SQL views expose curated slices of data for outbound replication.
Lists Pipelines (deal flow, fundraising, portfolio) that structure most Affinity data; syncs usually target a specific list. Schemas Schema organization scopes which tables a sync connection can see.
List Entries The membership of a person, organization, or opportunity on a list, carrying its list-specific fields. Persistent Classes Object-model classes project to tables, so class data is reachable through SQL.
Persons Contact records enriched with relationship intelligence, synced with CRMs and outreach tools. Globals The underlying multidimensional storage; typically accessed indirectly via SQL or objects in syncs.
Organizations Company records matched to accounts in other systems by domain. Namespaces Namespaces partition databases and determine the connection context for integrations.
Opportunities Deal records tracked on lists and synced with pipeline reporting. Stored Procedures Server-side logic callable over SQL supports controlled writes and transformations.
