Why teams connect Apollo.io and CockroachDB

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

Stacksync mirrors Deals (Opportunities), Tasks and calls, Custom fields, Contacts from Apollo.io into Views, Indexes, Sequences, Changefeeds in CockroachDB with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Apollo.io 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 CRM opportunity stages back into Apollo so reps see pipeline context while sequencing.
  • Land sequence enrollment status and outcomes in a warehouse for outbound performance reporting.
  • Write application events from CockroachDB back to CRM fields to give go-to-market teams product context.
  • Use changefeeds to propagate row changes from a multi-region cluster into a warehouse or search index.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Apollo.io arrive as row changes in CockroachDB, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Apollo.io become tables in CockroachDB you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to CockroachDB sync onto the matching records in Apollo.io, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

What you can sync between Apollo.io and CockroachDB

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.

Apollo.io objects CockroachDB objects
People (database records) Prospects from Apollo's global database, pulled into downstream systems once enriched or saved. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns.
Sequences Outreach cadences (emailer campaigns in the API); enrollment status is read to track which contacts are being worked. Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system.
Deals (Opportunities) Pipeline records that can be read and written to keep Apollo aligned with the CRM of record. Changefeeds Built-in CDC streams that emit row-level changes to external sinks.
Tasks and calls Rep activity records synced for activity reporting and coaching workflows. Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases.
Custom fields Account- and contact-level custom attributes mapped field-by-field in a sync. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables from application tables.
Contacts People saved to your Apollo account, synced with emails, phone numbers, and enrichment fields. Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases.

How the Apollo.io and CockroachDB connectors work

Apollo.io

Integration surface
REST API
Authentication
API key (passed in request headers); master keys unlock account-wide endpoints
Change detection
Polling on updated-at timestamps; webhook callbacks exist only for delivering asynchronous enrichment results, not as a general change-event stream
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Rate limits and enrichment credits vary by plan; bulk endpoints are throttled separately from single-record calls

CockroachDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible)
Authentication
Database credentials with TLS; client certificates or SCRAM password auth
Change detection
CDC via changefeeds, which stream row-level changes; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput is bounded by cluster capacity
