Why teams connect Autopilot and Quip

Feed Quip's records into Autopilot for indexing, classification, and generation, then land the model's output back on those same records, in real time and in both directions.

Autopilot works on data it does not own. The records, conversations, tickets, messages, and events it needs to embed, classify, summarize, or answer questions about actually live in Quip, the tool the team uses every day. So the value of Autopilot depends on two flows that most teams stitch together with a custom script or a one-time export: getting Quip's data in, and getting the model's results back out to where people can act on them. When either flow runs on a batch or a stale snapshot, the model reasons over yesterday's data and its output never reaches the record it belongs to.

Stacksync syncs Folders, Messages, Users, Blobs from Quip into Autopilot continuously, so the model always works from current records instead of a snapshot, and writes Contacts, Lists, Custom Fields, Smart Segments, the scores, labels, summaries, drafts, and embedding metadata Autopilot produces, back onto the matching record in Quip. The sync is field-level and keyed on a stable identifier, so every output attaches to the exact record it came from and each system keeps its own extra fields untouched.

You decide the direction and the trigger conditions per field: pull records one way to build and keep a retrieval corpus current, push results the other way onto the operational record, or both.

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 Read Messages from project threads into a data store to analyze collaboration activity and comment volume per document.
  • 04 Sync Folders and their membership with an identity or HR source so team spaces track org structure.

Common sync patterns

Where Autopilot generates text: drafts and summaries where the work happens

Summaries, suggested replies, or generated content from Autopilot sync onto the Quip record as a field or note, ready for a person to review before it goes out.

Every output routes back to the right record

Because each item is matched on a stable identifier, an Autopilot result always attaches to the record in Quip it was computed from, with no manual reconciliation.

Build a retrieval corpus from Quip's records

Records, tickets, messages, or events from Quip sync into Autopilot so they can be indexed, embedded, or retrieved as context, without a hand-built extraction job.

What you can sync between Autopilot and Quip

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 Quip objects How this pairing syncs
Smart Segments Rule-based dynamic audiences; membership is computed by Autopilot, so it is read-only over the API. Users Member records read individually or via contacts; get_authenticated_user identifies the token owner. Used read-only for directory-style syncs. Smart Segments is specific to Autopilot and Users to Quip — 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. Blobs Images and file attachments stored per thread; downloaded with get_blob and uploaded with put_blob against a specific thread ID. Journeys (Triggers) is specific to Autopilot and Blobs to Quip — 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. Documents Editable rich-text threads addressed by ID; created and updated over REST via HTML or Markdown sections, with an updated_usec timestamp used to detect edits. Activities is specific to Autopilot and Documents to Quip — 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. Spreadsheets Live-spreadsheet threads; rows and cells are read and written through add_to_spreadsheet and update_spreadsheet_row helpers on the same thread endpoints. Contacts is specific to Autopilot and Spreadsheets to Quip — 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. Folders Private, Shared, and Group containers that organize threads; membership is added or removed via the folders endpoints for access control. Lists is specific to Autopilot and Folders to Quip — 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. Messages Comments and chat posts on a thread; the most recent are read with get_messages and new ones written with new_message. Custom Fields is specific to Autopilot and Messages to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Autopilot and Quip

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 Quip 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 written to Quip through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Quip Autopilot Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Quip for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on thread updated_usec timestamps — get_recent_threads paginates by max_updated_usec.

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.
  • Quip: Automation API allows roughly 50 requests per minute per access token; exceeding it returns HTTP 503, and responses carry X-RateLimit headers.

How the Autopilot and Quip 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.
