Why teams connect Infobip and Postgres Heroku

Turn the messages, calls, and events Infobip handles into live rows in Postgres Heroku, 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 Postgres Heroku next to everything else.

Stacksync mirrors SMS Messages, WhatsApp Messages, Email, Conversations from Infobip into JSONB Columns, Sequences, Follower Databases, Tables in Postgres Heroku 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 Keep several Heroku app databases aligned with one system of record
  • 04 Reflect billing and subscription records into the app database so product logic reads local rows

Common sync patterns

Trigger outbound communication from the database

Write a row to a synced table in Postgres Heroku and Stacksync propagates it into Infobip, 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 Infobip and Postgres Heroku, so a phone number or email corrected on either side is current the next time either system uses it.

React to activity as it happens

Sends, replies, answered calls, or completed meetings arrive in Postgres Heroku as row changes, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Infobip and Postgres Heroku

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.

Infobip objects Postgres Heroku objects How this pairing syncs
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. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems. SMS Messages is specific to Infobip and Primary and Unique Keys to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata. WhatsApp Messages is specific to Infobip and JSONB Columns to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Email is specific to Infobip and Sequences to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Conversations Omnichannel contact-center threads, agents, queues, and tags in the Conversations (CCaaS) module; read and write conversation state and messages through the Conversations API for a unified support view. Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. Conversations is specific to Infobip and Follower Databases to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data. Numbers / Senders is specific to Infobip and Tables to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Delivery Reports & Logs is specific to Infobip and Views to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Infobip and Postgres Heroku

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.

Infobip Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Postgres Heroku Infobip Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Postgres Heroku for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Postgres Heroku: No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan.

How the Infobip and Postgres Heroku connectors work

Infobip

Integration surface
Infobip omnichannel REST API (JSON over HTTPS) across per-channel resources (SMS, WhatsApp, Email, Voice), the People CDP, and Conversations; a unified Messages API also spans channels
Authentication
API key sent as the header 'Authorization: App <api-key>' (recommended), with HTTP Basic authentication and OAuth 2.0 also supported; keys are limited by per-endpoint scopes, and every request must target the account's personalized base URL
Change detection
Delivery reports, seen/read receipts, and inbound (mobile-originated) messages are pushed in real time to a configured notifyUrl webhook per channel; message logs/reports (GET /sms/1/logs, /sms/1/reports) and People list endpoints are polled as a fallback
Capabilities

Rate limits
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
Infobip setup guide

Postgres Heroku

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (standard PostgreSQL)
Authentication
Database credentials from the Heroku DATABASE_URL config var; SSL required
Change detection
Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations; log-based logical replication availability depends on plan and Heroku's managed server settings
