Why teams connect Autopilot and MariaDB

Sync the records in MariaDB into Autopilot and land its embeddings, classifications, and generated fields back on the same rows, in real time and without a pipeline to maintain.

AI systems do not hold customers or invoices the way business apps do. What they hold is derived from your data: the vectors and metadata in a vector store, or the classifications, extracted fields, and generated text a model produces over records it was given. MariaDB is where those source records actually live. The bridge between the two is the row itself, since an item in Autopilot and the record in MariaDB it describes are two halves of the same thing, and they drift the moment one is updated without the other.

Stacksync syncs Primary and Unique Keys, System-Versioned Tables, JSON Columns, Stored Procedures in MariaDB with Smart Segments, Journeys (Triggers), Activities, Contacts in Autopilot in real time. Rows created or changed in MariaDB flow into Autopilot so inference and embedding run on current data, and the scores, labels, and generated fields Autopilot produces flow back onto the matching rows in MariaDB, mapped field by field. A change on either side appears on the other within seconds, with no extraction job or webhook plumbing to keep alive.

Because matching is by a stable identifier, every row in MariaDB stays tied to its AI-side counterpart in Autopilot. Retrieval, enrichment, and generated content always resolve back to the record they came from, so there are no orphaned vectors and no labels describing a version of a row that no longer exists.

Common use cases

  • 01 Add contacts to a Journey from a database event or CRM stage change to start automated onboarding or nurture sequences.
  • 02 Mirror List and Smart Segment membership into a warehouse to power attribution and audience analytics alongside other sources.
  • 03 Two-way sync between a MariaDB application database and a CRM so both systems hold the same customer records
  • 04 Replicate ERP or billing master data into MariaDB databases that power customer-facing applications

Common sync patterns

Backfill once, then stay in step

Load your existing rows from MariaDB into Autopilot to build the index or enrichment set, then let ongoing changes sync automatically instead of re-running the whole job.

One record, one identifier

Each item in Autopilot carries the key of the row in MariaDB it came from, so results resolve back to the exact record with nothing orphaned or duplicated.

Run the AI on current data

Rows created or changed in MariaDB flow into Autopilot as they happen, so embeddings, classifications, and prompts run on the latest records instead of a nightly snapshot.

What you can sync between Autopilot and MariaDB

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.

Autopilot objects MariaDB objects How this pairing syncs
Smart Segments Rule-based dynamic audiences; membership is computed by Autopilot, so it is read-only over the API. JSON Columns Semi-structured payloads validated with JSON functions. Smart Segments is specific to Autopilot and JSON Columns to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Journeys (Triggers) Automation journeys; a contact can be added to a journey via its trigger endpoint to start automated email or SMS sequences. Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. Journeys (Triggers) is specific to Autopilot and Stored Procedures to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activities Per-contact activity and event history (opens, clicks, journey steps); read-only feed used for engagement reporting. Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes. Activities is specific to Autopilot and Databases (Schemas) to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Core people records (email, name, custom fields, list and segment membership); upserted two-way as the primary sync object. Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Contacts is specific to Autopilot and Tables to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lists Static contact lists; membership is readable per list and writable by adding or removing contacts. Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Lists is specific to Autopilot and Views to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Fields User-defined contact properties (string, number, date, boolean); discovered so field keys map cleanly to destination columns. Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. Custom Fields is specific to Autopilot and Columns to MariaDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Autopilot and MariaDB

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.

Autopilot MariaDB Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Autopilot for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No CDC.

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

MariaDB Autopilot Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MariaDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Autopilot: The REST API is capped at 100 requests/minute per account; exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Enterprise plans can request a higher limit. Contact writes accept an array for bulk upsert, and list and segment reads paginate via a bookmark cursor.
  • MariaDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.

How the Autopilot and MariaDB connectors work

Autopilot

Integration surface
REST API (Autopilot v1); Autopilot rebranded to Ortto in 2021 and the newer Ortto API co-exists with the legacy Autopilot endpoints
Authentication
Per-account API key sent in the autopilotapikey request header (generated in account settings); requests use Content-Type application/json against https://api2.autopilothq.com/v1/
Change detection
No CDC; incremental sync polls the /contacts endpoint with bookmark cursor pagination and updated timestamps. Journey webhook actions can push specific contact events, but there is no general change-subscription webhook, so polling is the reliable path.
