Why teams connect Azure Cosmos DB and Salesforce

Treat Salesforce like part of your database: its records live in Azure Cosmos DB 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 Azure Cosmos DB, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Campaigns, Tasks and Events, Products and Price Books, Custom Objects from Salesforce into Items (JSON documents), Partition keys, Change feed entries, Stored procedures and triggers in Azure Cosmos DB with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Salesforce 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

  • Trigger provisioning or billing changes in an operational database when an Opportunity moves to closed-won.
  • Consolidate multiple Salesforce orgs into a single database for cross-org reporting after an acquisition.
  • Two-way sync between a Cosmos DB-backed product catalog and a PIM or commerce platform.
  • Consolidate documents from multiple containers into a single reporting store.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Azure Cosmos DB sync onto the matching records in Salesforce, 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 Salesforce API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Salesforce arrive as row changes in Azure Cosmos DB, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

What you can sync between Azure Cosmos DB and Salesforce

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.

Azure Cosmos DB objects Salesforce objects
Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning. Opportunities Deal records with stage and amount; synced to databases for pipeline reporting and to ERPs at close.
Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection. Cases Support records; synced with help desk tools or internal databases for escalation workflows.
Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed. Campaigns Marketing membership data; read out for attribution analysis in the warehouse.
Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly. Tasks and Events Activity records; usually read-only in syncs to feed activity reporting.
Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync. Products and Price Books Catalog and pricing data; commonly mastered in an ERP and written into Salesforce.
Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation. Custom Objects Org-specific tables with the __c suffix; discoverable via describe metadata so field mappings can be generated.

How the Azure Cosmos DB and Salesforce connectors work

Azure Cosmos DB

Integration surface
REST API and SDKs over HTTPS (API for NoSQL, formerly the SQL API); also MongoDB, Cassandra, Gremlin, and Table API surfaces
Authentication
Account keys, resource tokens, or Microsoft Entra ID role-based access
Change detection
Built-in change feed exposing inserts and updates in order within each partition key range
Capabilities

Salesforce

Integration surface
REST, SOAP, and Bulk APIs
Authentication
OAuth login via a Salesforce user (browser-based authorization flow); requires "API Enabled" permission for polling mode, plus "Author Apex" and "Customize Application" OR "Modify All Data" for trigger mode
Change detection
Apex triggers are used whenever possible (Salesforce actively notifies Stacksync via an Apex trigger + callout class + remote site setting)
