Why teams connect Google Pubsub and Quip
Connect the tickets, records, and events in Quip to the systems engineering runs in Google Pubsub, kept current in real time and in both directions.
Quip is where customer-facing and operational work happens: the tickets, conversations, contacts, and records a team touches every day. Google Pubsub is where engineering runs the systems behind that work — the issue trackers, message brokers, directories, and monitors that keep services moving. The same items, people, and events matter to both, and when the only link between them is a manual hand-off or an overnight export, each side acts on a stale copy of what the other already knows.
Stacksync syncs Users, Blobs, Documents, Spreadsheets in Quip with Subscriptions, Messages, Schemas, Snapshots in Google Pubsub field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync maps the overlap, resolves conflicts by rules you set, and keeps every copy current, with no middleware to build and no API limits to babysit.
Common use cases
- 01 Write status rows from an operational database into a shared Quip Spreadsheet with update_spreadsheet_row so ops and deal-desk teams see live figures in-document.
- 02 Read Messages from project threads into a data store to analyze collaboration activity and comment volume per document.
- 03 Bridge order or billing events off a topic into an ERP or ticketing system as they arrive, mapping message attributes to target fields.
- 04 Attach an Avro or Protocol Buffer schema to a topic so every message Stacksync publishes is validated against an agreed contract.
Common sync patterns
Where Google Pubsub tracks engineering work: requests become issues
A ticket or request raised in Quip opens or updates a matching issue in Google Pubsub, and status, comments, and resolution flow back, so support and engineering work the same item instead of retyping it.
Where Google Pubsub moves messages between services: activity lands on the stream
Records created or changed in Quip publish to the queue or topic in Google Pubsub as they happen, so downstream services react to real events rather than polling for them.
Where Google Pubsub is the directory or identity source: one set of users
People and accounts in Quip stay matched to the users in Google Pubsub, so access, provisioning, and org changes propagate instead of being keyed in twice.
What you can sync between Google Pubsub 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.
| Google Pubsub objects | Quip objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Messages The synced unit: base64-encoded data plus attributes, ordering key, messageId and publishTime; capped at 10 MB each. | Messages Comments and chat posts on a thread; the most recent are read with get_messages and new ones written with new_message. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Dead-letter topics Destination for messages that exceed a subscription's max delivery attempts; isolates poison messages for later handling. | 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. | Dead-letter topics is specific to Google Pubsub and Documents to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Ordering keys Tag messages so those sharing a key deliver in publish order when message ordering is enabled; throughput capped at 1 MBps per key. | 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. | Ordering keys is specific to Google Pubsub and Spreadsheets to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Topics Named resource publishers send to; Stacksync publishes each record change as a message to a topic for downstream subscribers to consume. | Folders Private, Shared, and Group containers that organize threads; membership is added or removed via the folders endpoints for access control. | Topics is specific to Google Pubsub and Folders to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Subscriptions A stream of messages from one topic; Stacksync consumes here via StreamingPull or a push endpoint, acknowledging each message after a successful write. | Users Member records read individually or via contacts; get_authenticated_user identifies the token owner. Used read-only for directory-style syncs. | Subscriptions is specific to Google Pubsub and Users to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Schemas Avro or Protocol Buffer definitions bound to a topic; validate that every published message matches the agreed structure. | Blobs Images and file attachments stored per thread; downloaded with get_blob and uploaded with put_blob against a specific thread ID. | Schemas is specific to Google Pubsub and Blobs to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Google Pubsub 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.
Google Pubsub Quip Sub-second propagation
DetectionGoogle Pubsub notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Consumes messages as they arrive on a subscription — StreamingPull (long-lived gRPC) or a push subscription delivering each message as an HTTPS POST.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Quip through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Quip Google Pubsub 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 Google Pubsub through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Google Pubsub: Per-region throughput quotas (publish up to ~4 GB/s in large regions); 10 MB max per message and per publish request, 1,000 messages per request, and 1 MBps per ordering key.
- Quip: Automation API allows roughly 50 requests per minute per access token; exceeding it returns HTTP 503, and responses carry X-RateLimit headers.

FAQ
Google Pubsub and Quip integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Google Pubsub and Quip: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Google Pubsub's Messages and Dead-letter topics), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
On the Quip side: Users, Blobs, Documents, Spreadsheets, plus custom fields where Quip exposes them. On the Google Pubsub side: Subscriptions, Messages, Schemas, Snapshots. 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.
-
Common patterns for Google Pubsub and Quip: Where Google Pubsub tracks engineering work: requests become issues; Where Google Pubsub moves messages between services: activity lands on the stream; Where Google Pubsub is the directory or identity source: one set of users. A ticket or request raised in Quip opens or updates a matching issue in Google Pubsub, and status, comments, and resolution flow back, so support and engineering work the same item instead of retyping it.

Google Pubsub: REST and gRPC (Cloud Pub/Sub API v1). Authentication: Google Cloud IAM via OAuth 2.0 / service-account credentials (JSON key or workload identity); requires roles such as pubsub.publisher and pubsub.subscriber. Quip: REST (v1 Automation API). Authentication: OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens (RFC 6749/6750) or a Personal Access Token; domain admins can pre-approve apps for domain-wide authentication. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Quip: The Automation API is rate limited to roughly 50 requests per minute per access token and returns HTTP 503 when exceeded, which constrains large backfills. Google Pubsub: Default message retention is 7 days, configurable up to 31 days; unacknowledged messages are redelivered until acked or the retention window expires. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Google Pubsub and Quip without custom code.
