Why teams connect Attio and IBM AS/400

Treat Attio like part of your database: its records live in IBM AS/400 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 AS/400, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors People, Companies, Users, Deals from Attio into Journals and journal receivers, Data queues, Libraries, Physical files (tables) in IBM AS/400 with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Attio 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

  • Run a two-way dual-run when migrating to Attio from another CRM.
  • Sync companies, people, and deals with Postgres so ops teams enrich and update CRM records with SQL.
  • Expose AS/400 order, inventory, and item master data to modern SaaS tools without rewriting green-screen applications.
  • Use journal-based change capture to replicate IBM i data into a cloud warehouse for reporting.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Attio become tables in IBM AS/400 you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to IBM AS/400 sync onto the matching records in Attio, 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 Attio API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between Attio and IBM AS/400

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.

Attio objects IBM AS/400 objects
People Standard person object; synced with marketing tools and warehouse person tables. Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files.
Companies Standard company object; matched to billing and product accounts in two-way syncs. Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations.
Users Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads.
Deals Pipeline records; read out for revenue reporting and written to from automation. Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets.
Workspaces Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources.
Custom objects Workspace-defined objects that behave like standard ones in the API. Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs.
