Why teams connect Insightly and TimescaleDB

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

Stacksync mirrors Leads, Opportunities, Projects, Tasks from Insightly into Schemas, Hypertables, Chunks, Continuous Aggregates in TimescaleDB with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Insightly 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

  • Replicate opportunities into Postgres or a warehouse so RevOps can report on pipeline with SQL
  • Keep Insightly projects aligned with delivery or PSA tools after opportunities close
  • Keep device or asset reference tables bi-directionally in sync between TimescaleDB and an ERP.
  • Consolidate metrics from several services into one hypertable to serve a single reporting layer.

Query the CRM like a database

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

Product events onto CRM records

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

What you can sync between Insightly and TimescaleDB

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.

Insightly objects TimescaleDB objects
Events Calendar items sync for a complete activity timeline. Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment.
Notes Free-text context attaches to synced records for downstream visibility. Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs.
Products Product catalog entries support line-item syncing on opportunities and quotes. Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly.
Custom Fields Per-object custom fields carry enrichment and billing data written from external systems. Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems.
Contacts Person records sync with marketing and support tools to keep one contact list. Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data.
Organizations Company records map to accounts in ERPs and other CRMs. Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers.
