Why teams connect MotherDuck and Salesforce

Sync Salesforce into MotherDuck continuously and push warehouse results back onto CRM records, one two-way connection instead of two pipelines.

The CRM feeds the warehouse and the warehouse should feed the CRM: relationship data flows one way, and computed scores, segments, and customer context flow back. Most teams build the first half as a batch pipeline and never quite get to the second.

Stacksync does both with one connection. Cases, Campaigns, Tasks and Events, Products and Price Books from Salesforce land in MotherDuck as live tables, updated within seconds, and columns computed in MotherDuck write back to fields in Salesforce. There is no separate ETL and reverse-ETL stack to stitch together and no jobs to babysit.

Common use cases

  • Consolidate multiple Salesforce orgs into a single database for cross-org reporting after an acquisition.
  • Sync Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities bi-directionally with Postgres so engineering teams read and write CRM data with plain SQL.
  • Sync modeled MotherDuck tables outward to operational tools for activation
  • Share curated, synced datasets with other teams through read-only database shares

CRM analytics on live data

Accounts, contacts, and activity from Salesforce are queryable in MotherDuck moments after they change, so dashboards stop lagging the reality they describe.

Scores and segments back on the record

Lead scores, churn risk, or usage segments computed in MotherDuck appear as fields in Salesforce, where the people working accounts actually see them.

A single customer view

Join Salesforce's relationship data with billing, product, and support data in MotherDuck to build the customer picture the CRM alone cannot hold.

What you can sync between MotherDuck 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.

MotherDuck objects Salesforce objects
Tables The main landing target for synced records and source for analysis. Products and Price Books Catalog and pricing data; commonly mastered in an ERP and written into Salesforce.
Views Modeled projections used as outbound sync sources. Custom Objects Org-specific tables with the __c suffix; discoverable via describe metadata so field mappings can be generated.
Database Shares Read-only copies of a database shared with other users or teams. Accounts Company records that anchor most syncs; typically mapped to customer tables in a database or ERP.
Attached Local DuckDB Databases Local files attached alongside cloud databases for hybrid queries. Contacts People linked to Accounts; synced two-way with marketing, support, and warehouse person records.
Databases Cloud-hosted DuckDB databases that scope a sync's reads and writes. Leads Unqualified prospects; often written into Salesforce from enrichment or product-signup pipelines.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize synced tables. Opportunities Deal records with stage and amount; synced to databases for pipeline reporting and to ERPs at close.
