Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and Infobip

Turn the messages, calls, and events Infobip handles into live rows in IBM AS/400, and write back to trigger new outbound communication, with both sides in sync in seconds.

Engineers reach communications tools like Infobip 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 IBM AS/400 next to everything else.

Stacksync mirrors SMS Messages, WhatsApp Messages, Email, Conversations from Infobip into Logical files (views), Members, Rows / records, Journals and journal receivers in IBM AS/400 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 Infobip 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 Push CRM or warehouse segments into Infobip People as Persons and add them to Moments flows so triggered SMS, WhatsApp, and email campaigns fire on fresh audiences.
  • 02 Trigger transactional SMS, WhatsApp, and email sends from database or application events (order shipped, OTP, appointment reminder) through the channel send endpoints.
  • 03 Use journal-based change capture to replicate IBM i data into a cloud warehouse for reporting.
  • 04 Keep customer and item files aligned with an ecommerce platform or modern ERP during phased modernization.

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern for every channel

Each communications tool looks like tables in the database, so adding email, voice, or messaging is configuration rather than a new codebase.

Communication history as database rows

Every message, call, or event Infobip records becomes rows in IBM AS/400, 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 IBM AS/400 and Stacksync propagates it into Infobip, so your code sends the message, places the call, or schedules the meeting without integration glue.

What you can sync between IBM AS/400 and Infobip

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.

IBM AS/400 objects Infobip objects How this pairing syncs
Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. Numbers / Senders Provisioned phone numbers and sender IDs used as message origins, listed and managed via the Numbers API; read to map which sender each message flows through. Rows / records is specific to IBM AS/400 and Numbers / Senders to Infobip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files. Delivery Reports & Logs Per-message delivery status, seen/read receipts, and error codes; pulled from GET /sms/1/reports and /sms/1/logs within a short retention window, or pushed in real time to a configured notifyUrl webhook. Journals and journal receivers is specific to IBM AS/400 and Delivery Reports & Logs to Infobip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations. Persons (People CDP) Contact profiles in the People module holding attributes, tags, and multi-channel contact data (mobile, email); full CRUD via GET/POST/PUT/DELETE /people/2/persons, so Infobip is both a source and a destination for contact records. Data queues is specific to IBM AS/400 and Persons (People CDP) to Infobip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. SMS Messages Outbound SMS sent via POST /sms/3/messages (legacy /sms/2/text/advanced); sent-message logs and delivery/seen reports read via GET /sms/1/logs and /sms/1/reports, with delivery reports and inbound (MO) messages pushed to a notifyUrl webhook. Libraries is specific to IBM AS/400 and SMS Messages to Infobip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets. WhatsApp Messages Template, text, and media WhatsApp messages sent via POST /whatsapp/1/message/*; message status and inbound replies delivered by webhook, and approved message templates are managed under the WhatsApp sender. Physical files (tables) is specific to IBM AS/400 and WhatsApp Messages to Infobip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. Email Transactional and bulk email sent via POST /email/3/send (multipart form); delivery, open, click, bounce, and unsubscribe events arrive by webhook, and sending domains are managed through the /email/1/domains endpoints. Logical files (views) is specific to IBM AS/400 and Email to Infobip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM AS/400 and Infobip

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.

IBM AS/400 Infobip Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM AS/400 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Journal-based CDC by reading journal receivers on journaled files.

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

Infobip IBM AS/400 Sub-second propagation

DetectionInfobip notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Delivery reports, seen/read receipts, and inbound (mobile-originated) messages are pushed in real time to a configured notifyUrl webhook per channel.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM AS/400 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM AS/400: Bounded by system resources and subsystem configuration rather than an API quota.
  • Infobip: Message-sending throughput is provisioned per account and per number/sender rather than one fixed global cap; non-messaging endpoints are throttled and return HTTP 429 Too Many Requests when usage exceeds expected levels.
