Why teams connect Apollo.io and IBM Informix

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

Stacksync mirrors Tasks and calls, Custom fields, Contacts, Accounts from Apollo.io into Stored procedures, Logical logs, Databases, Tables in IBM Informix 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

  • Deduplicate contacts across Apollo and the CRM by syncing on email as the match key.
  • Push CRM opportunity stages back into Apollo so reps see pipeline context while sequencing.
  • Replicate Informix tables into a cloud warehouse using its change data capture interface for near-real-time reporting.
  • Sync sensor and meter readings stored in Informix TimeSeries structures to analytics platforms.

Query the CRM like a database

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

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to IBM Informix sync onto the matching records in Apollo.io, 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 Apollo.io API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between Apollo.io and IBM Informix

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 IBM Informix objects
Accounts Company records with firmographic attributes, matched to CRM accounts during sync. TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables.
People (database records) Prospects from Apollo's global database, pulled into downstream systems once enriched or saved. Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths.
Sequences Outreach cadences (emailer campaigns in the API); enrollment status is read to track which contacts are being worked. Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from.
Deals (Opportunities) Pipeline records that can be read and written to keep Apollo aligned with the CRM of record. Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection.
Tasks and calls Rep activity records synced for activity reporting and coaching workflows. Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets.
Custom fields Account- and contact-level custom attributes mapped field-by-field in a sync. Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key.

How the Apollo.io and IBM Informix 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

IBM Informix

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC drivers; DRDA connectivity is also supported
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Informix's Change Data Capture API reading committed changes from logical logs; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Bounded by server resources and session limits rather than an API quota.
