Why teams connect Close and Google Cloud Spanner

Treat Close like part of your database: its records live in Google Cloud Spanner 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 Google Cloud Spanner, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Opportunities, Activities, Tasks, Custom Activities from Close into Secondary indexes, Change streams, Views, Databases in Google Cloud Spanner with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Close 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

  • Write product usage or firmographic data from an internal database onto Close lead custom fields to prioritize follow-up.
  • Sync Close leads and opportunities into Postgres or a warehouse for pipeline reporting outside Close's built-in reports.
  • Push billing or entitlement changes from finance tools into Spanner tables the application reads at runtime.
  • Use change streams to feed near-real-time copies of operational tables into an analytics warehouse.
