Why teams connect IBM Informix and Kustomer

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

Stacksync mirrors Teams, Tags, Notes, Customers from Kustomer into Rows, Views, TimeSeries objects, Stored procedures in IBM Informix with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Kustomer 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 customer attributes updated from billing systems so routing rules and SLAs reflect account value
  • Escalate conversation-derived signals into the CRM as tasks or opportunities
  • Feed inventory and transaction data from legacy Informix applications into modern ERPs during migration.
  • Replicate Informix tables into a cloud warehouse using its change data capture interface for near-real-time reporting.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

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

Query the CRM like a database

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

Product events onto CRM records

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

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Kustomer

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.

IBM Informix objects Kustomer objects
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Notes Internal annotations carry context alongside synced conversations.
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Customers The central record whose timeline aggregates every interaction; external attributes sync onto it.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Conversations Support threads across channels sync outward for analytics and CRM context.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Messages Individual messages within conversations support full-thread replication.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Companies Organization records group customers and map to CRM accounts.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Custom Objects (Klasses) Structured external records such as orders and subscriptions synced in to appear on the customer timeline.
