Why teams connect Attio and Recurly

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between Recurly and Attio in real time, so sales sees the money and finance sees the relationship.

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Attio knows the relationship: who the contacts are and what is in motion with the account. Recurly knows the money: what was invoiced, what was paid, what is overdue. When the two are connected only by exports, each side works partly blind.

Stacksync links Measured Units and Usage, Accounts, Subscriptions, Plans in Recurly to Custom objects, People, Companies, Users in Attio with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, updated billing details, invoice status, and payment activity move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. The result is one version of each customer, visible from both sides.

Common use cases

  • 01 Post usage records to Measured Units on metered Subscriptions from a metering database before each bill run.
  • 02 Sync Accounts and Subscriptions bi-directionally with Postgres so product and provisioning systems read live entitlement state and write plan or seat changes back to Recurly.
  • 03 Sync companies, people, and deals with Postgres so ops teams enrich and update CRM records with SQL.
  • 04 Write product usage and enrichment data into Attio attributes so GTM teams work from live account signals.

Common sync patterns

Collections with context

Finance sees the account owner and relationship history from Attio when chasing a balance, and sales sees that the chase is happening.

Where Attio tracks deals: closed-won creates the finance record

A won opportunity creates or updates the customer in Recurly with the right billing details, so invoicing starts without re-keying.

Payment status on the account

Invoice and payment status from Recurly appears on the account in Attio, so reps see overdue balances before they promise the next order.

What you can sync between Attio and Recurly

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.

Attio objects Recurly objects How this pairing syncs
Custom objects Workspace-defined objects that behave like standard ones in the API. Line Items One-time charges and credits on an account outside a subscription; synced for accurate revenue and adjustment reporting. Custom objects is specific to Attio and Line Items to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People Standard person object; synced with marketing tools and warehouse person tables. Coupons and Redemptions Discount definitions and their application to accounts and subscriptions; read for discount and promotion analysis. People is specific to Attio and Coupons and Redemptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Companies Standard company object; matched to billing and product accounts in two-way syncs. Billing Info Tokenized payment method (card/ACH) on an account; written when onboarding customers and read for payment-health signals (never stores raw card numbers). Companies is specific to Attio and Billing Info to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Measured Units and Usage Metered-billing units; usage records are posted to a subscription before each bill run for consumption-based pricing. Users is specific to Attio and Measured Units and Usage to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Deals Pipeline records; read out for revenue reporting and written to from automation. Accounts Customer/billing entity records keyed by account_code; the anchor most subscriptions and invoices hang off. Synced two-way with CRM accounts or a customer database. Deals is specific to Attio and Accounts to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workspaces Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Subscriptions Recurring subscription records tied to an Account and a Plan, with state, term, and next-bill date. Core object, synced two-way to drive provisioning and reporting. Workspaces is specific to Attio and Subscriptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Attio and Recurly

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.

Attio Recurly Sub-second propagation

DetectionAttio notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks on record and list-entry events, with polling as a fallback.

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

Recurly Attio Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Attio: Subject to the platform's published API rate limits.
  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
