Why teams connect Anaplan and MotherDuck

Land the financial records from Anaplan in MotherDuck continuously, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Finance data belongs in the warehouse: revenue, invoices, payments, and customers joined with everything else the business measures. Getting it there usually means an extraction pipeline that breaks quietly and delivers yesterday's numbers.

Stacksync syncs Versions, Import and Export Actions, Processes, Cell Data from Anaplan into tables in MotherDuck in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in MotherDuck can be written back to fields in Anaplan where you want them operational. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than code you maintain.

Common use cases

  • Keep dimension lists (products, cost centers, territories) aligned with master data systems of record.
  • Export forecast versions to a warehouse for variance reporting against actuals.
  • Share curated, synced datasets with other teams through read-only database shares
  • Land CRM and operational database records in MotherDuck so a small team gets warehouse-style analytics without cluster management

Write-back of computed fields

Scores or segments computed in MotherDuck, like payment-risk flags or customer tiers, sync back onto records in Anaplan where the finance team can act on them.

Queryable history for audit and reconciliation

A continuously synced copy in MotherDuck gives you a durable, queryable record of financial data for month-end and audit questions.

Finance analytics without ETL

Invoices, payments, and customer records from Anaplan arrive in MotherDuck as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

What you can sync between Anaplan and MotherDuck

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.

Anaplan objects MotherDuck objects
List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. Databases Cloud-hosted DuckDB databases that scope a sync's reads and writes.
Versions Scenario dimensions (actual, budget, forecast) that scope which slice a sync reads or writes. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize synced tables.
Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. Tables The main landing target for synced records and source for analysis.
Processes Ordered bundles of actions run as a unit during scheduled syncs. Views Modeled projections used as outbound sync sources.
Cell Data Individual intersections readable and writable through the transactional API. Database Shares Read-only copies of a database shared with other users or teams.
Models The planning workspaces that contain all data; syncs target a specific model. Attached Local DuckDB Databases Local files attached alongside cloud databases for hybrid queries.

How the Anaplan and MotherDuck connectors work

Anaplan

Integration surface
REST APIs: a Bulk API that runs predefined import/export actions and a transactional API for model metadata and cell data
Authentication
Token-based sessions obtained via basic authentication, CA certificates, or OAuth 2.0 through Anaplan's authentication service
Change detection
Polling and scheduled export actions; the platform does not expose change events
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions

MotherDuck

Integration surface
SQL through DuckDB clients and drivers using a MotherDuck (md:) connection
Authentication
Access token created in MotherDuck (Settings > General > Create Token), pasted into Stacksync; database name and schema configurable if not using defaults
Change detection
Polling; no log-based CDC or webhook surface is exposed
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's compute and concurrency limits rather than per-request API rate limits
