Why teams connect Autopilot and Tinybird

Send the records Tinybird holds into Autopilot for embedding, classification, and scoring, and land what Autopilot produces back in Tinybird as new columns, one two-way connection instead of a batch job.

Tinybird holds the raw records the business runs on; Autopilot turns those records into embeddings, scores, labels, and summaries. The two meet wherever a warehouse row needs to be enriched by a model and the result needs somewhere durable to live. Most teams stitch that meeting together with export scripts and a queue, then spend their time keeping the glue alive.

Stacksync syncs Contacts, Lists, Custom Fields, Smart Segments in Autopilot with Materialized Views, Workspaces, Tokens, Data Sources in Tinybird field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Rows added or changed in Tinybird flow into Autopilot as they happen, and the Contacts, Lists, Custom Fields, Smart Segments that Autopilot generates land back in Tinybird as columns or tables, with field-level mapping and conflict rules in place of a custom pipeline.

The payoff is that model output stops living in a separate place from the data it describes. Once results sit in Tinybird, they join against billing, product, and usage tables already there, so you can report on quality, cost, and coverage without moving anything by hand.

Common use cases

  • 01 Upsert Contacts from a CRM or product database into Autopilot so new signups and profile changes flow into email and SMS journeys without manual CSV imports.
  • 02 Add contacts to a Journey from a database event or CRM stage change to start automated onboarding or nurture sequences.
  • 03 Stream CRM activity such as deals and tickets into Tinybird Data Sources to power customer-facing dashboards.
  • 04 Sync order events from an ERP into Tinybird to serve low-latency operational analytics endpoints.

Common sync patterns

History that outlives a run

A continuously synced copy in Tinybird preserves every generated result, so outputs stay auditable even as they are overwritten or expire inside Autopilot.

Feed live warehouse records to Autopilot

Rows added or changed in Tinybird flow into Autopilot within seconds, so embeddings, classifications, and enrichments are computed on current data rather than a nightly extract.

Model output back in the warehouse

Scores, labels, embeddings, or summaries produced in Autopilot land in Tinybird as columns or tables, queryable and joinable with the rest of the business data.

What you can sync between Autopilot and Tinybird

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 Tinybird objects How this pairing syncs
Contacts Core people records (email, name, custom fields, list and segment membership); upserted two-way as the primary sync object. Materialized Views Pipes materialized into new Data Sources for pre-aggregation at ingest time. Contacts is specific to Autopilot and Materialized Views to Tinybird — 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. Workspaces Project boundary that scopes Data Sources, Pipes, and tokens for a sync. Lists is specific to Autopilot and Workspaces to Tinybird — 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. Tokens Scoped credentials that control read and append rights per resource. Custom Fields is specific to Autopilot and Tokens to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Smart Segments Rule-based dynamic audiences; membership is computed by Autopilot, so it is read-only over the API. Data Sources ClickHouse-backed tables that receive ingested rows; the write target for syncs into Tinybird. Smart Segments is specific to Autopilot and Data Sources to Tinybird — 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. Pipes Chained SQL nodes that transform Data Sources into query-ready results. Journeys (Triggers) is specific to Autopilot and Pipes to Tinybird — 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. API Endpoints Published Pipe outputs exposed as parameterized HTTP queries; the main read surface. Activities is specific to Autopilot and API Endpoints to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Autopilot and Tinybird

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 Tinybird 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 Tinybird as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Tinybird Autopilot Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Tinybird for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Append-oriented ingestion.

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.
  • Tinybird: Subject to the platform's ingestion and query rate limits; batch appends where possible.

How the Autopilot and Tinybird 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.
