Why teams connect Drift and MarkLogic

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

Stacksync mirrors Accounts, Users, Playbooks, Meetings from Drift into Users & Roles, Documents, Collections, Semantic Triples in MarkLogic with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Drift 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

  • Enrich Drift contact and account records with firmographic or product data from an internal database to sharpen playbook targeting.
  • Sync meetings booked in Drift to CRM activities so pipeline attribution stays accurate.
  • Land document data in relational warehouses by reading TDE views as SQL rows.
  • Write updates from operational systems back into the document hub to keep the canonical record current.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Drift become tables in MarkLogic you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to MarkLogic sync onto the matching records in Drift, 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 Drift API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between Drift and MarkLogic

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.

Drift objects MarkLogic objects
Playbooks Bot flows that generate conversations and qualify visitors. Users & Roles Security principals that govern what an integration credential can read or write.
Meetings Meetings booked through Drift, synced to CRM as sales activities. Documents JSON and XML documents, the primary records read from and written to the database.
Contacts Visitor and lead records created or matched from chat identities; the main CRM-sync object. Collections Named groupings used to scope which documents a sync reads or updates.
Conversations Chat threads with status and participants; the center of Drift's data model. Semantic Triples RDF data stored alongside documents, queryable with SPARQL for linked-data syncs.
Messages Individual messages within a conversation, used for transcript and intent analysis. TDE Views Relational projections of documents that let syncs read document data as SQL rows.
Accounts Company records used for account-based routing and targeting. Document Metadata & Properties Permissions, quality, and property fragments carried with each document.
