Why teams connect Close and IBM Db2

Treat Close like part of your database: its records live in IBM Db2 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 Db2, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Custom Activities, Custom Fields, Users, Smart Views from Close into Indexes, Stored Procedures, Sequences, Tablespaces in IBM Db2 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

  • Keep Close contacts aligned with a marketing automation platform so outreach lists stay current.
  • Push call, SMS, and email activity data into a warehouse for rep performance and outreach-cadence analysis.
  • Sync SaaS data into Db2 tables that existing enterprise applications and reports already consume.
  • Replicate Db2 tables into a cloud warehouse continuously instead of nightly batch extracts.

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Close API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Close arrive as row changes in IBM Db2, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Close become tables in IBM Db2 you can join with application data directly.

What you can sync between Close and IBM Db2

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.

Close objects IBM Db2 objects
Leads The top-level record in Close; represents a company and holds its contacts, opportunities, and activity history. Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows.
Contacts People nested under a lead, with emails and phone numbers used for outreach syncs. Tablespaces Physical storage layout that operators consider when adding synced tables.
Opportunities Deal records with value, confidence, and status; commonly synced to reporting and billing systems. Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses.
Activities Calls, emails, SMS, notes, and meetings logged against a lead; the source for engagement analytics. Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects.
Tasks Follow-up items assigned to users; synced for workload and SLA reporting. Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases.
Custom Activities User-defined activity types with their own custom fields, mapped like standard activities. Views Read-only projections often used to expose curated slices to a sync.
