Why teams connect Customer.io and OpenSearch

Mirror Customer.io's data into OpenSearch 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 OpenSearch.

Stacksync mirrors Objects, Events, Segments, Campaigns from Customer.io into Index templates, Ingest pipelines, Data streams, Snapshots in OpenSearch 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 account-level objects and their person relationships for B2B messaging keyed to company attributes.
  • Sync product usage and billing attributes from Postgres onto Customer.io people so lifecycle campaigns trigger on real product behavior.
  • Keep Postgres as the source of truth while mirroring rows to OpenSearch for full-text and vector queries.
  • Index support tickets and activity logs from SaaS tools for operational dashboards.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Customer.io with a query

Records from Customer.io are ordinary rows in OpenSearch; 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 OpenSearch and Stacksync propagates the change into Customer.io, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Customer.io and OpenSearch

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.

Customer.io objects OpenSearch objects
Newsletters Recurring email sends with performance metrics available for reporting syncs. Ingest pipelines Server-side processors that transform documents as they are written
People Profiles with attributes, matched on identifiers like id or email; the main write target of data syncs. Data streams Append-oriented time-series storage for logs and events pushed from source systems
Objects Non-person entities such as accounts or companies, related to people for account-level messaging. Snapshots Backup artifacts, relevant when reseeding an index from a repository
Events Behavioral events sent via the Track API that trigger campaigns. Indexes The core container; synced records land in indexes with defined mappings
Segments Attribute- or event-based groups; data syncs feed the attributes segments evaluate. Documents JSON records written via the index and bulk APIs and read via search queries
Campaigns Automated workflows whose membership and metrics can be read via the App API. Index aliases Stable names over rotating indexes, used for zero-downtime reindex during backfills

How the Customer.io and OpenSearch connectors work

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

OpenSearch

Integration surface
REST API over HTTP(S) with JSON payloads
Authentication
basic authentication with the security plugin, or AWS IAM request signing on Amazon OpenSearch Service
Change detection
no native change feed; reads rely on queries with scroll or point-in-time polling
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
throughput bounded by cluster sizing rather than fixed API quotas
