Why teams connect Apache Druid and Drift

Sync Drift into Apache Druid 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. Meetings, Contacts, Conversations, Messages from Drift land in Apache Druid as live tables, updated within seconds, and columns computed in Apache Druid write back to fields in Drift. There is no separate ETL and reverse-ETL stack to stitch together and no jobs to babysit.

Common use cases

  • Sync Drift-captured contacts into the CRM so chat-sourced leads enter standard sales workflows immediately.
  • Land conversation transcripts and outcomes in a warehouse for funnel and chat-to-pipeline analysis.
  • Sync Druid query results into a warehouse to combine real-time aggregates with historical models.
  • Keep lookup tables in Druid refreshed from a CRM or database so query-time joins use current reference data.

Scores and segments back on the record

Lead scores, churn risk, or usage segments computed in Apache Druid appear as fields in Drift, where the people working accounts actually see them.

A single customer view

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

Cleanup that sticks

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

What you can sync between Apache Druid and Drift

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.

Apache Druid objects Drift objects
Ingestion Supervisors Long-running specs that pull from streams like Kafka; the write path into Druid. Messages Individual messages within a conversation, used for transcript and intent analysis.
Lookups Key-value mappings joined at query time, refreshable from external systems. Accounts Company records used for account-based routing and targeting.
Tasks Batch ingestion and compaction jobs monitored during data loads. Users Agents and sales reps who own conversations and meetings.
Datasources The table-like unit of storage and querying, the main target of reads and ingestion. Playbooks Bot flows that generate conversations and qualify visitors.
Segments Time-partitioned immutable files that hold datasource data; ingestion produces them. Meetings Meetings booked through Drift, synced to CRM as sales activities.
Dimensions String and categorical columns used for filtering and grouping in synced queries. Contacts Visitor and lead records created or matched from chat identities; the main CRM-sync object.

How the Apache Druid and Drift connectors work

Apache Druid

Integration surface
REST API (SQL over HTTP and native JSON queries); JDBC via Avatica
Authentication
Deployment-dependent: basic authentication or an authenticator extension; often fronted by a proxy
Change detection
Not applicable for reads out (polling by time interval); data enters Druid through streaming or batch ingestion rather than row updates
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No fixed API quotas; query concurrency is bounded by broker and historical node capacity

Drift

Integration surface
REST API
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via apps registered on the Drift developer platform
Change detection
Webhook events for new conversations, messages, and contact changes; polling for backfills
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits
