Why teams connect Google Cloud Spanner and RingCentral

Turn the messages, calls, and events RingCentral handles into live rows in Google Cloud Spanner, and write back to trigger new outbound communication, with both sides in sync in seconds.

Engineers reach communications tools like RingCentral through APIs, which means auth tokens, webhooks, delivery callbacks, and rate limits, all maintained forever and all shaped differently for every tool. The data those tools produce, who was contacted, what was sent, and what came back, would be simple to use if it lived in Google Cloud Spanner next to everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Message Store (SMS / MMS / Fax / Voicemail), Call Log, Extensions (Users), Contacts (Address Book) from RingCentral into Databases, Tables, Rows, Interleaved tables in Google Cloud Spanner and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Communication activity lands in the database as ordinary rows you can query and join, and rows your code writes, such as a queued outbound message or an updated contact, flow back into RingCentral so the tool and the database never disagree.

There is no webhook endpoint to host, no rate limit to babysit, and no nightly export that leaves your services reading yesterday's activity.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Message Store SMS, MMS, and fax records into Postgres or a warehouse so support and compliance can search conversation history alongside CRM records.
  • 02 Send outbound SMS via the /sms endpoint when a CRM or database record changes - appointment reminders, alerts, verification codes - and write inbound replies back onto the record.
  • 03 Use change streams to feed near-real-time copies of operational tables into an analytics warehouse.
  • 04 Run a two-way sync between Spanner and a SaaS tool so edits made by ops teams land back in the application database.

Common sync patterns

Communication history as database rows

Every message, call, or event RingCentral records becomes rows in Google Cloud Spanner, ready to query, join with your own data, and report on without touching the vendor API.

Trigger outbound communication from the database

Write a row to a synced table in Google Cloud Spanner and Stacksync propagates it into RingCentral, so your code sends the message, places the call, or schedules the meeting without integration glue.

One contact list across both

Recipients and contacts stay consistent between RingCentral and Google Cloud Spanner, so a phone number or email corrected on either side is current the next time either system uses it.

What you can sync between Google Cloud Spanner and RingCentral

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.

Google Cloud Spanner objects RingCentral objects How this pairing syncs
Interleaved tables Child rows physically co-located with parents; synced as related records. RingOut (Click-to-call) Two-legged calls placed programmatically via POST /account/~/extension/~/ring-out, with status polled via GET and calls cancelled via DELETE; a write/action path for click-to-dial from a CRM or internal app. Write. Interleaved tables is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and RingOut (Click-to-call) to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Secondary indexes Used to make incremental read queries efficient on non-key columns. Team Messaging (Chat) RingCentral team-messaging chats, teams, and posts (formerly Glip); read conversations and create posts, create teams, and add or remove members to mirror org structure. Read and write. Secondary indexes is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Team Messaging (Chat) to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Change streams Capture inserts, updates, and deletes for log-style change data capture. Presence Real-time presence and detailed telephony state per extension, read via GET presence and subscribed to for live updates, used to reflect agent availability and call status across systems. Read-only. Change streams is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Presence to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections useful for shaping data before it leaves Spanner. Subscriptions (Webhooks / WebSocket) Event subscriptions created through the Subscription API with eventFilters (message-store, presence, telephony sessions, extension changes); full CRUD, and the mechanism for near-real-time change delivery over webhooks or WebSocket. Read and write. Views is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Subscriptions (Webhooks / WebSocket) to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level containers that scope schema and sync configuration. Message Store (SMS / MMS / Fax / Voicemail) Messages in an extension's mailbox - SMS, MMS, fax, voicemail, and pager - read via GET /account/~/extension/~/message-store filtered by dateFrom/dateTo and messageType; outbound SMS is sent via POST /sms, MMS and fax via POST /fax, and messages can be marked read or deleted. Read and write. Databases is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Message Store (SMS / MMS / Fax / Voicemail) to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables mapped one-to-one to sync targets. Call Log Call detail records with direction, result, duration, from/to numbers, and recording references, from the account-wide and per-extension call-log endpoints, filtered by dateFrom/dateTo. Read-only records. Tables is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Call Log to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google Cloud Spanner and RingCentral

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.

Google Cloud Spanner RingCentral Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Google Cloud Spanner are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Change streams (log-style CDC), or timestamp-based polling queries.

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

RingCentral Google Cloud Spanner Sub-second propagation

DetectionRingCentral notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Subscription API webhooks (with a validation-token echo handshake) or WebSocket subscriptions on eventFilters such as message-store/instant,.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Google Cloud Spanner: Throughput is bounded by the instance's provisioned compute capacity rather than a fixed API quota.
  • RingCentral: Per-user (extension) throttling groups per 60 seconds - Heavy 10, Medium 40 (e.g. /sms), Light 50, Auth 5 - as customizable defaults; exceeding returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header and X-Rate-Limit-Group/Limit/Remaining/Window headers.
