Why teams connect Affinity and Quip
Sync what happens in Quip with the customer records in Affinity, in real time and in both directions.
The CRM is supposed to be the record of every customer relationship, but customer-relevant information also accumulates in the other tools a team runs. Whatever Quip holds or produces that touches a customer, whether conversations, payments, replies, enriched data, or notes, the CRM only benefits if it arrives without someone copying it over.
Stacksync connects Spreadsheets, Folders, Messages, Users in Quip to Field Values, Notes, Interactions, Reminders in Affinity with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Quip update the matching contact or account in Affinity, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Quip can store and use it.
Common use cases
- 01 Post a new_message into a linked Quip thread when a record changes in a CRM or ticketing system, notifying the account team where they plan.
- 02 Mirror Documents and Spreadsheets into Postgres or a warehouse, keyed on thread ID and refreshed when updated_usec advances, for search and reporting on account plans and notes.
- 03 Keep introductions and relationship data from Affinity aligned with outreach tools used by the team.
- 04 Sync notes and reminders into project or task systems used outside the deal team.
Common sync patterns
Where Quip can store CRM context: fields kept current
Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Affinity sync into Quip, so people working there have the context without switching tools.
Where Quip handles support or shared inboxes
Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in Affinity, so sales sees open issues before the next call.
Where Quip supplies contact or company data
Enriched fields land directly on records in Affinity, and refreshes keep them from going stale.
What you can sync between Affinity and Quip
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.
| Affinity objects | Quip objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| List Entries The membership of a person, organization, or opportunity on a list, carrying its list-specific fields. | Blobs Images and file attachments stored per thread; downloaded with get_blob and uploaded with put_blob against a specific thread ID. | List Entries is specific to Affinity and Blobs to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Persons Contact records enriched with relationship intelligence, synced with CRMs and outreach tools. | Documents Editable rich-text threads addressed by ID; created and updated over REST via HTML or Markdown sections, with an updated_usec timestamp used to detect edits. | Persons is specific to Affinity and Documents to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Organizations Company records matched to accounts in other systems by domain. | Spreadsheets Live-spreadsheet threads; rows and cells are read and written through add_to_spreadsheet and update_spreadsheet_row helpers on the same thread endpoints. | Organizations is specific to Affinity and Spreadsheets to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Opportunities Deal records tracked on lists and synced with pipeline reporting. | Folders Private, Shared, and Group containers that organize threads; membership is added or removed via the folders endpoints for access control. | Opportunities is specific to Affinity and Folders to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Field Values Custom field data, either global or scoped to a list, mapped field-by-field in syncs. | Messages Comments and chat posts on a thread; the most recent are read with get_messages and new ones written with new_message. | Field Values is specific to Affinity and Messages to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Notes Meeting and call notes synced for record-keeping in other systems. | Users Member records read individually or via contacts; get_authenticated_user identifies the token owner. Used read-only for directory-style syncs. | Notes is specific to Affinity and Users to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Affinity and Quip
Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.
Affinity Quip Sub-second propagation
DetectionAffinity notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, supplemented by polling.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Quip through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Quip Affinity Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Quip for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on thread updated_usec timestamps — get_recent_threads paginates by max_updated_usec.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Affinity through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Affinity: Subject to the platform's published API rate limits.
- Quip: Automation API allows roughly 50 requests per minute per access token; exceeding it returns HTTP 503, and responses carry X-RateLimit headers.
