Why teams connect Azure SQL Database and Customer.io

Mirror Customer.io's data into Azure SQL Database so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Customer.io through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Azure SQL Database.

Stacksync mirrors Newsletters, People, Objects, Events from Customer.io into Change tracking / CDC tables, Tables, Views, Schemas in Azure SQL Database and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Customer.io, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Sync product usage and billing attributes from Postgres onto Customer.io people so lifecycle campaigns trigger on real product behavior.
  • Push CRM segments and lead status into Customer.io so messaging respects sales stage.
  • Consolidate data from several line-of-business apps into one Azure SQL database as an integration hub.
  • Feed an Azure SQL operational database with orders and inventory from an ERP in near real time.

Read Customer.io with a query

Records from Customer.io are ordinary rows in Azure SQL Database; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Customer.io from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Azure SQL Database and Stacksync propagates the change into Customer.io, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Customer.io arrive as row changes in Azure SQL Database, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Azure SQL Database and Customer.io

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 SQL Database objects Customer.io objects
Stored procedures Existing business logic that some teams invoke on write instead of direct table inserts. People Profiles with attributes, matched on identifiers like id or email; the main write target of data syncs.
Change tracking / CDC tables System-maintained change records used to drive incremental sync. Objects Non-person entities such as accounts or companies, related to people for account-level messaging.
Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in the paired system. Events Behavioral events sent via the Track API that trigger campaigns.
Views Read-only projections used when the sync should expose a curated shape rather than raw tables. Segments Attribute- or event-based groups; data syncs feed the attributes segments evaluate.
Schemas Namespaces that organize tables and control which objects a sync user can reach. Campaigns Automated workflows whose membership and metrics can be read via the App API.
Rows and columns Standard relational records with typed columns; primary keys anchor upserts. Broadcasts One-off sends to segments or audiences, triggerable via API.

How the Azure SQL Database and Customer.io connectors work

Azure SQL Database

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (TDS), the same protocol as SQL Server; T-SQL over standard drivers
Authentication
SQL authentication (database credentials) or Microsoft Entra ID authentication
Change detection
Change data capture or change tracking, both supported on Azure SQL Database; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC

Customer.io

Integration surface
REST APIs split by purpose: Track API for data ingestion, App API for campaigns, people lookups, and messages
Authentication
Basic auth with site ID and API key for the Track API; bearer token for the App API
Change detection
Reporting webhooks push message and delivery events; person attribute changes are not streamed and require source-side detection
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Subject to per-API rate limits documented by Customer.io
