Why teams connect Kustomer and TiDB

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

Stacksync mirrors Customers, Conversations, Messages, Companies from Kustomer into Tables, Views, Columns, Indexes in TiDB 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

  • Push order and shipment records from commerce systems into Kustomer custom objects so agents answer order-status questions without switching tools
  • Mirror conversations and satisfaction data into a warehouse for support analytics and agent performance reporting
  • Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge
  • Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Kustomer API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

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

Query the CRM like a database

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

What you can sync between Kustomer and TiDB

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.

Kustomer objects TiDB objects
Teams Team assignments support routing parity and reporting. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC.
Tags Labels on conversations and customers sync for categorization and analytics. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward.
Notes Internal annotations carry context alongside synced conversations. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system.
Customers The central record whose timeline aggregates every interaction; external attributes sync onto it. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient.
Conversations Support threads across channels sync outward for analytics and CRM context. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows.
Messages Individual messages within conversations support full-thread replication. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client.
