Why teams connect Airtable and Google Pubsub
Keep Airtable and Google Pubsub in step: the rows in your database and the Messages, Schemas, Snapshots, Message attributes your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.
Airtable is where your application's durable data lives; Google Pubsub is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.
Stacksync syncs Tables, Records, Fields, Views in Airtable with Messages, Schemas, Snapshots, Message attributes in Google Pubsub field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.
Common use cases
- 01 Write cleaned records edited in Airtable back to the source system of record, keeping both sides consistent in near real time.
- 02 Use Airtable as a lightweight front end for product catalogs or inventory stored in an ERP or warehouse database.
- 03 Bridge order or billing events off a topic into an ERP or ticketing system as they arrive, mapping message attributes to target fields.
- 04 Attach an Avro or Protocol Buffer schema to a topic so every message Stacksync publishes is validated against an agreed contract.
Common sync patterns
One integration pattern instead of per-tool API code
Read and write the synced tables in Airtable and Stacksync keeps Google Pubsub current, replacing the auth, webhooks, rate limits, and retry logic you would otherwise maintain for each tool.
React to changes on either side in near real time
Updates in Google Pubsub arrive as row changes in Airtable, and writes to Airtable propagate to Google Pubsub within seconds, so triggers, jobs, and alerts fire without polling.
Where Google Pubsub manages users or groups: keep identity aligned
Directory and identity records in Google Pubsub stay matched to the users or owners table in Airtable, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.
What you can sync between Airtable and Google Pubsub
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.
| Airtable objects | Google Pubsub objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bases Top-level containers; each base has its own API endpoint and schema. | Topics Named resource publishers send to; Stacksync publishes each record change as a message to a topic for downstream subscribers to consume. | Bases is specific to Airtable and Topics to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tables Map to sync tables; schema is readable through the base metadata endpoints. | Subscriptions A stream of messages from one topic; Stacksync consumes here via StreamingPull or a push endpoint, acknowledging each message after a successful write. | Tables is specific to Airtable and Subscriptions to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Records The row-level unit created, updated, and deleted during syncs, identified by rec-prefixed IDs. | Messages The synced unit: base64-encoded data plus attributes, ordering key, messageId and publishTime; capped at 10 MB each. | Records is specific to Airtable and Messages to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Fields Typed columns including linked records, lookups, and rollups; computed fields are read-only in syncs. | Schemas Avro or Protocol Buffer definitions bound to a topic; validate that every published message matches the agreed structure. | Fields is specific to Airtable and Schemas to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Views Filtered subsets of a table that can scope which records a sync reads. | Snapshots Captured subscription state for seek/replay; lets already-acknowledged messages be redelivered from a point in time. | Views is specific to Airtable and Snapshots to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Linked records Cross-table references that carry relationships between synced tables. | Message attributes Up to 100 key-value pairs per message; carry routing metadata and drive subscription filter expressions. | Linked records is specific to Airtable and Message attributes to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Airtable and Google Pubsub
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.
Airtable Google Pubsub Sub-second propagation
DetectionAirtable pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks).
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Google Pubsub through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Google Pubsub Airtable Sub-second propagation
DetectionGoogle Pubsub notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Consumes messages as they arrive on a subscription — StreamingPull (long-lived gRPC) or a push subscription delivering each message as an HTTPS POST.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Airtable through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Airtable: The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.
- Google Pubsub: Per-region throughput quotas (publish up to ~4 GB/s in large regions); 10 MB max per message and per publish request, 1,000 messages per request, and 1 MBps per ordering key.

How the Airtable and Google Pubsub connectors work
Airtable
- Integration surface
- REST API (per-base Web API plus metadata and webhooks endpoints)
- Authentication
- OAuth (Airtable OAuth grant to specific bases or all resources); the authorizing user must have a `creator` role, since only creator roles can create webhooks
- Change detection
- Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks); formula fields don't emit change events and are re-synced every hour

FAQ
Airtable and Google Pubsub integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Airtable and Google Pubsub: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Airtable's Bases and Tables), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Airtable: Airtable API rate limit of 5 requests/second; Stacksync rate-limits to stay under it. Google Pubsub: Default message retention is 7 days, configurable up to 31 days; unacknowledged messages are redelivered until acked or the retention window expires. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Airtable and Google Pubsub without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Airtable and Google Pubsub records are not retained after a sync operation.
