Why teams connect Aircall and IBM AS/400

Turn the messages, calls, and events Aircall handles into live rows in IBM AS/400, and write back to trigger new outbound communication, with both sides in sync in seconds.

Engineers reach communications tools like Aircall through APIs, which means auth tokens, webhooks, delivery callbacks, and rate limits, all maintained forever and all shaped differently for every tool. The data those tools produce, who was contacted, what was sent, and what came back, would be simple to use if it lived in IBM AS/400 next to everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Webhooks, Contacts, Calls, Users from Aircall into Data queues, Libraries, Physical files (tables), Logical files (views) in IBM AS/400 and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Communication activity lands in the database as ordinary rows you can query and join, and rows your code writes, such as a queued outbound message or an updated contact, flow back into Aircall so the tool and the database never disagree.

There is no webhook endpoint to host, no rate limit to babysit, and no nightly export that leaves your services reading yesterday's activity.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Tags and call dispositions onto matching CRM records as call outcomes so RevOps can report on conversation activity.
  • 02 Log every Call with its recording URL, tags, comments, and metadata into Postgres or a warehouse for talk-time and call-outcome reporting beside CRM pipeline data.
  • 03 Use journal-based change capture to replicate IBM i data into a cloud warehouse for reporting.
  • 04 Keep customer and item files aligned with an ecommerce platform or modern ERP during phased modernization.

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern for every channel

Each communications tool looks like tables in the database, so adding email, voice, or messaging is configuration rather than a new codebase.

Communication history as database rows

Every message, call, or event Aircall records becomes rows in IBM AS/400, ready to query, join with your own data, and report on without touching the vendor API.

Trigger outbound communication from the database

Write a row to a synced table in IBM AS/400 and Stacksync propagates it into Aircall, so your code sends the message, places the call, or schedules the meeting without integration glue.

What you can sync between Aircall and IBM AS/400

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.

Aircall objects IBM AS/400 objects How this pairing syncs
Users Agent seats with name, email, and availability; full CRUD to provision or deprovision seats and map Aircall agents to CRM, HR, or directory identities. Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. Users is specific to Aircall and Rows / records to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Numbers Provisioned phone numbers with settings, open hours, and IVR config; read and update to keep routing and business-hours data aligned across systems. Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files. Numbers is specific to Aircall and Journals and journal receivers to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tags Call tags with name and color; full CRUD, applied to calls for disposition and outcome reporting in the CRM or warehouse. Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations. Tags is specific to Aircall and Data queues to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Teams Groups of users for routing and reporting; create and delete teams and add or remove members to mirror org structure from an HR system or IdP. Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Teams is specific to Aircall and Libraries to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Messages (SMS/MMS) Text messages tied to a number and contact; send outbound SMS/MMS through the API and read inbound messages delivered via webhook events. Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets. Messages (SMS/MMS) is specific to Aircall and Physical files (tables) to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Webhooks Event subscriptions for call, contact, user, message, and number events; full CRUD, the mechanism for near-real-time change delivery to Stacksync. Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. Webhooks is specific to Aircall and Logical files (views) to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Aircall and IBM AS/400

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.

Aircall IBM AS/400 Sub-second propagation

DetectionAircall notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (POST /v1/webhooks) for call, contact, user, message, and number events.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM AS/400 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

IBM AS/400 Aircall Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM AS/400 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Journal-based CDC by reading journal receivers on journaled files.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Aircall through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Aircall: 60 requests per minute per company by default (120/min for Advanced Messaging customers); responses carry X-AircallApi-Limit, X-AircallApi-Remaining, and X-AircallApi-Reset headers.
  • IBM AS/400: Bounded by system resources and subsystem configuration rather than an API quota.
