Why teams connect IBM Informix and Nimble

Treat Nimble 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 Deals, Tasks, Activities, Notes from Nimble into Databases, Tables, Rows, Views in IBM Informix with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Nimble 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

  • Feed Nimble activity and task data into reporting dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • Sync Nimble contacts and companies into Postgres so ops teams can query socially enriched profile data with SQL.
  • 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.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to IBM Informix sync onto the matching records in Nimble, 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 Nimble API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

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

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Nimble

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 Nimble objects
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Tags Segmentation labels that map to list membership or filters in downstream systems
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Custom fields Account-defined contact attributes that carry enrichment or internal identifiers
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Contacts Person records with multi-value fields for email, phone, and social profiles; the primary sync entity
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Companies Stored as contact records with a company record type, so they sync through the same contacts resource
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Deals Pipeline records linked to contacts, synced to keep revenue systems aligned with sales activity
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Tasks To-do items tied to contacts, mirrored into work-management tools or reporting tables
