Why teams connect Airtable and Plex ERP

Give your engineers Plex ERP's data in Airtable: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Sales orders, Purchase orders, Customers, Suppliers from Plex ERP into Airtable and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Plex ERP is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in Airtable sync back into Plex ERP with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • 01 Use Airtable as a lightweight front end for product catalogs or inventory stored in an ERP or warehouse database.
  • 02 Consolidate several Airtable bases into one analytical database for reporting without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Mirror purchase orders and receipts to accounting or planning tools.
  • 04 Feed quality and scrap data to dashboards supervisors check without logging into Plex.

Common sync patterns

React to ERP changes

Updates in Plex ERP arrive as row changes in Airtable, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

Where Plex ERP is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

Worker and org records stay current in Airtable for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from Airtable back into Plex ERP, keeping the ERP authoritative.

What you can sync between Airtable and Plex ERP

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 Plex ERP objects How this pairing syncs
Records The row-level unit created, updated, and deleted during syncs, identified by rec-prefixed IDs. Suppliers Vendor records aligned with procurement and AP tools Records is specific to Airtable and Suppliers to Plex ERP — 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. Shipments Outbound logistics records synced to trading partners and tracking systems Fields is specific to Airtable and Shipments to Plex ERP — 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. Quality records Checksheet and inspection data pulled into plant dashboards Views is specific to Airtable and Quality records to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Linked records Cross-table references that carry relationships between synced tables. Parts Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning tools Linked records is specific to Airtable and Parts to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attachments File fields exposed as expiring URLs that syncs can mirror to other systems. Inventory On-hand balances and locations replicated for visibility outside the plant system Attachments is specific to Airtable and Inventory to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collaborators User fields useful for mapping record ownership to accounts in a CRM or database. Production jobs Shop-floor work records combining ERP and MES data for output reporting Collaborators is specific to Airtable and Production jobs to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Airtable and Plex ERP

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 Plex ERP 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 Plex ERP through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Plex ERP Airtable Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Plex ERP for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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.
  • Plex ERP: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
