Why teams connect Amazon DynamoDB and RingCentral

Turn the messages, calls, and events RingCentral handles into live rows in Amazon DynamoDB, and write back to trigger new outbound communication, with both sides in sync in seconds.

Engineers reach communications tools like RingCentral 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 Amazon DynamoDB next to everything else.

Stacksync mirrors RingOut (Click-to-call), Team Messaging (Chat), Presence, Subscriptions (Webhooks / WebSocket) from RingCentral into DynamoDB Streams, Global Tables, Time to Live (TTL), Tables in Amazon DynamoDB 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 RingCentral 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 Message Store SMS, MMS, and fax records into Postgres or a warehouse so support and compliance can search conversation history alongside CRM records.
  • 02 Send outbound SMS via the /sms endpoint when a CRM or database record changes - appointment reminders, alerts, verification codes - and write inbound replies back onto the record.
  • 03 Use DynamoDB Streams as a change-data-capture source to push item INSERT, MODIFY, and REMOVE events into a CRM, search index, or operational database in near-real-time.
  • 04 Backfill or migrate records into DynamoDB from another database using BatchWriteItem, then keep the two stores in continuous sync.

Common sync patterns

Communication history as database rows

Every message, call, or event RingCentral records becomes rows in Amazon DynamoDB, 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 Amazon DynamoDB and Stacksync propagates it into RingCentral, so your code sends the message, places the call, or schedules the meeting without integration glue.

One contact list across both

Recipients and contacts stay consistent between RingCentral and Amazon DynamoDB, so a phone number or email corrected on either side is current the next time either system uses it.

What you can sync between Amazon DynamoDB and RingCentral

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.

Amazon DynamoDB objects RingCentral objects How this pairing syncs
Time to Live (TTL) Per-item expiry timestamps; DynamoDB deletes expired items in the background and emits a Streams REMOVE record for each deletion. Contacts (Address Book) Personal address-book contacts per extension with full CRUD via POST/PUT/DELETE /address-book/contact; the company directory has no create endpoint and is read-only, so only personal contacts are writable. Read and write. Time to Live (TTL) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Contacts (Address Book) to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Top-level containers, each with a partition key and optional sort key; Stacksync syncs a table as a stream of items with full read and write via PutItem, UpdateItem, and DeleteItem. RingOut (Click-to-call) Two-legged calls placed programmatically via POST /account/~/extension/~/ring-out, with status polled via GET and calls cancelled via DELETE; a write/action path for click-to-dial from a CRM or internal app. Write. Tables is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and RingOut (Click-to-call) to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items Individual schemaless records (attributes up to 400 KB each); read with GetItem, Query, and Scan and written with PutItem or BatchWriteItem, so write is supported here. Team Messaging (Chat) RingCentral team-messaging chats, teams, and posts (formerly Glip); read conversations and create posts, create teams, and add or remove members to mirror org structure. Read and write. Items is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Team Messaging (Chat) to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Global secondary indexes (GSIs) Alternate key projections that let you Query by non-key attributes without a full table Scan; read-only views maintained automatically by DynamoDB. Presence Real-time presence and detailed telephony state per extension, read via GET presence and subscribed to for live updates, used to reflect agent availability and call status across systems. Read-only. Global secondary indexes (GSIs) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Presence to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Local secondary indexes (LSIs) Extra sort keys within the same partition key, defined at table creation; queried like the base table for alternate access patterns. Subscriptions (Webhooks / WebSocket) Event subscriptions created through the Subscription API with eventFilters (message-store, presence, telephony sessions, extension changes); full CRUD, and the mechanism for near-real-time change delivery over webhooks or WebSocket. Read and write. Local secondary indexes (LSIs) is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Subscriptions (Webhooks / WebSocket) to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records (INSERT, MODIFY, REMOVE) with old/new image views and 24-hour retention; the native change-data-capture source Stacksync reads for near-real-time sync. Message Store (SMS / MMS / Fax / Voicemail) Messages in an extension's mailbox - SMS, MMS, fax, voicemail, and pager - read via GET /account/~/extension/~/message-store filtered by dateFrom/dateTo and messageType; outbound SMS is sent via POST /sms, MMS and fax via POST /fax, and messages can be marked read or deleted. Read and write. DynamoDB Streams is specific to Amazon DynamoDB and Message Store (SMS / MMS / Fax / Voicemail) to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon DynamoDB and RingCentral

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.

Amazon DynamoDB RingCentral Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Amazon DynamoDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. DynamoDB Streams emit ordered item-level change records (INSERT, MODIFY, REMOVE) with KEYS_ONLY, NEW_IMAGE, OLD_IMAGE, or NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES views.

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

RingCentral Amazon DynamoDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionRingCentral notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Subscription API webhooks (with a validation-token echo handshake) or WebSocket subscriptions on eventFilters such as message-store/instant,.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Amazon DynamoDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Amazon DynamoDB: Throughput is metered in read/write capacity units (provisioned or on-demand): 1 WCU = one 1 KB write per second, 1 RCU = one strongly-consistent 4 KB read per second. Exceeding capacity or the ~3,000 RCU / 1,000 WCU per-partition ceiling returns ProvisionedThroughputExceededException with throttling.
  • RingCentral: Per-user (extension) throttling groups per 60 seconds - Heavy 10, Medium 40 (e.g. /sms), Light 50, Auth 5 - as customizable defaults; exceeding returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header and X-Rate-Limit-Group/Limit/Remaining/Window headers.

How the Amazon DynamoDB and RingCentral connectors work

Amazon DynamoDB

Integration surface
AWS SDK / low-level HTTPS JSON API at dynamodb.<region>.amazonaws.com (PutItem, GetItem, UpdateItem, DeleteItem, Query, Scan, BatchWriteItem, TransactWriteItems), plus PartiQL (ExecuteStatement) for SQL-style access and DynamoDB Streams for change capture.
Authentication
AWS Signature Version 4 (SigV4) signed requests using an IAM access key ID and secret key, or temporary STS credentials from an assumed IAM role; IAM policies scope access down to table and item level.
Change detection
DynamoDB Streams emit ordered item-level change records (INSERT, MODIFY, REMOVE) with KEYS_ONLY, NEW_IMAGE, OLD_IMAGE, or NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES views and 24-hour retention, read via shard iterators (or Kinesis Data Streams for longer retention). No native HTTP webhooks.
