Why teams connect Elasticsearch and Salesforce

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

Stacksync mirrors Custom Objects, Accounts, Contacts, Leads from Salesforce into Documents, Index mappings, Aliases, Data streams in Elasticsearch with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Salesforce 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

  • Trigger provisioning or billing changes in an operational database when an Opportunity moves to closed-won.
  • Consolidate multiple Salesforce orgs into a single database for cross-org reporting after an acquisition.
  • Push product catalog data from an ERP or commerce database into Elasticsearch for storefront search.
  • Mirror support tickets into an index used for full-text search and agent-assist tooling.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Salesforce arrive as row changes in Elasticsearch, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

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

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Elasticsearch sync onto the matching records in Salesforce, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

What you can sync between Elasticsearch and Salesforce

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.

Elasticsearch objects Salesforce objects
Ingest pipelines Server-side transforms applied to documents as a sync writes them. Contacts People linked to Accounts; synced two-way with marketing, support, and warehouse person records.
Index templates Reusable settings and mappings applied automatically to new indices a sync creates. Leads Unqualified prospects; often written into Salesforce from enrichment or product-signup pipelines.
Indices Target containers for synced records; each holds a table-like collection of JSON documents. Opportunities Deal records with stage and amount; synced to databases for pipeline reporting and to ERPs at close.
Documents The unit of sync; JSON records created, updated, and deleted by _id. Cases Support records; synced with help desk tools or internal databases for escalation workflows.
Index mappings Field type definitions that determine how synced fields are indexed and queried. Campaigns Marketing membership data; read out for attribution analysis in the warehouse.
Aliases Stable read/write names that let a sync cut over between index versions without downtime. Tasks and Events Activity records; usually read-only in syncs to feed activity reporting.
What ships with Elasticsearch ⇄ Salesforce

Connect Elasticsearch and Salesforce for flexible, real-time data sync.

Real-time sync, workflow automation, event queues, EDI, and monitoring, for every Elasticsearch–Salesforce connection.

Real-time

Two-way sync

Changes in Elasticsearch or Salesforce instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.

No-code + pro-code

Workflow automation

Trigger automated workflows whenever Elasticsearch or Salesforce data changes, update records, fire webhooks, or kick off sequences without brittle API scripts.

At scale

Event queues

Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single Elasticsearch or Salesforce record.

Observability

Monitoring

Track your Elasticsearch ⇄ Salesforce sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.

Trading partners

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Elasticsearch and Salesforce.

How the Elasticsearch and Salesforce connectors work

Elasticsearch

Integration surface
REST API (JSON over HTTP)
Authentication
API keys or basic authentication; Elastic Cloud also issues service account tokens
Change detection
Polling on timestamp or sequence fields; Elasticsearch does not expose a native change feed or webhooks
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No fixed request quota; throughput is bounded by cluster sizing, thread pools, and bulk queue capacity

Salesforce

Integration surface
REST, SOAP, and Bulk APIs
Authentication
OAuth login via a Salesforce user (browser-based authorization flow); requires "API Enabled" permission for polling mode, plus "Author Apex" and "Customize Application" OR "Modify All Data" for trigger mode
Change detection
Apex triggers are used whenever possible (Salesforce actively notifies Stacksync via an Apex trigger + callout class + remote site setting)
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Daily API request allocations vary by edition and license count.
