Why teams connect Affinity and TimescaleDB

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

Stacksync mirrors Reminders, Lists, List Entries, Persons from Affinity into Schemas, Hypertables, Chunks, Continuous Aggregates in TimescaleDB 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.
  • Keep device or asset reference tables bi-directionally in sync between TimescaleDB and an ERP.
  • Consolidate metrics from several services into one hypertable to serve a single reporting layer.

Internal tools without API code

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

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Affinity arrive as row changes in TimescaleDB, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

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

What you can sync between Affinity and TimescaleDB

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 TimescaleDB objects
Interactions Automatically captured emails and meetings, read for activity reporting. Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs.
Reminders Follow-up tasks associated with people and organizations. Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly.
Lists Pipelines (deal flow, fundraising, portfolio) that structure most Affinity data; syncs usually target a specific list. Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems.
List Entries The membership of a person, organization, or opportunity on a list, carrying its list-specific fields. Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data.
Persons Contact records enriched with relationship intelligence, synced with CRMs and outreach tools. Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers.
Organizations Company records matched to accounts in other systems by domain. Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment.
