Two-way sync
Changes in Azure Active Directory or Quip instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Keep Azure Active Directory and Quip in sync without custom scripts. Cut weeks of integration work, eliminate silent data drift, and give your team a single, reliable source of truth.
Azure Active Directory is where a company records who its people are: their accounts, the groups and roles they hold, and the attributes attached to each one. Quip is where a slice of those same people do their work, as agents, members, or seats, and every one of them needs a matching account with the right access. When a directory and a productivity tool are maintained by hand, someone added, moved, or offboarded in one becomes a stale entry in the other within the hour.
Stacksync syncs Blobs, Documents, Spreadsheets, Folders in Quip with Applications, Service principals, Directory roles, Devices in Azure Active Directory bi-directionally and in real time. A user created, renamed, moved between groups, or deactivated in either system updates the matching record in the other within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV uploads and nightly IT batch jobs.
That matters most at the edges of employment. When both systems agree on who has an account, which groups they belong to, and whether they are still active, granting access on day one and revoking it on the last day stops being a manual checklist that trails the directory.
Moving a user between groups or roles in Azure Active Directory updates their team, permission set, or seat in Quip, so what someone can do reflects where they sit in the directory.
People matched across both systems on email or an external ID stay linked, so every account and action in Quip ties back to the right identity in Azure Active Directory.
A user added to Azure Active Directory, or moved into a group inside it, gets the matching account or membership created in Quip, so a new hire can start working without a separate setup ticket.
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.
| Azure Active Directory objects | Quip objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Users /users in Microsoft Graph; synced two-way — profile attributes, accountEnabled, and assignedLicenses are read out while provisioning writes (create, update, disable, delete) are pushed back. | Users Member records read individually or via contacts; get_authenticated_user identifies the token owner. Used read-only for directory-style syncs. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Directory roles /directoryRoles and roleManagement assignments; read for privileged-access reviews, with role-assignment writes where the granted scopes permit. | Folders Private, Shared, and Group containers that organize threads; membership is added or removed via the folders endpoints for access control. | Directory roles is specific to Azure Active Directory and Folders to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Devices /devices registered or joined to the tenant; typically read-only into asset and security databases. | Messages Comments and chat posts on a thread; the most recent are read with get_messages and new ones written with new_message. | Devices is specific to Azure Active Directory and Messages to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Groups /groups covering security and Microsoft 365 groups; created, updated, and deleted through Graph, and read into warehouses for entitlement reporting. | Blobs Images and file attachments stored per thread; downloaded with get_blob and uploaded with put_blob against a specific thread ID. | Groups is specific to Azure Active Directory and Blobs to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Group memberships Member and owner relationships on /groups/{id}/members; added and removed via the $ref endpoint and tracked for changes with delta query on $select=members. | 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. | Group memberships is specific to Azure Active Directory and Documents to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Applications App registrations under /applications; usually read into a database or CMDB for app ownership and credential-expiry tracking. | 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. | Applications is specific to Azure Active Directory and Spreadsheets to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
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.
DetectionAzure Active Directory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Microsoft Graph delta query (deltaLink tokens returning only changed users and groups, with @removed deletions) paired with change-notification.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Quip through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
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.

Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Azure Active Directory and Quip: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Azure Active Directory's Users and Directory roles), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Azure Active Directory and Quip connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Azure Active Directory–Quip integration in-house.
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Azure Active Directory and Quip. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
Change detection on Azure Active Directory: Microsoft Graph delta query (deltaLink tokens returning only changed users and groups, with @removed deletions) paired with change-notification webhook subscriptions for near-real-time push. On Quip: Polling on thread updated_usec timestamps — get_recent_threads paginates by max_updated_usec; there is no change-data-capture and no outbound change webhook. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
On the Quip side: Blobs, Documents, Spreadsheets, Folders, plus custom fields where Quip exposes them. On the Azure Active Directory side: Applications, Service principals, Directory roles, Devices. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
