Why teams connect Infobip and TiDB

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

Stacksync mirrors Numbers / Senders, Delivery Reports & Logs, Persons (People CDP), SMS Messages from Infobip into Sequences, Databases, Tables, Views in TiDB 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 Sync Conversations threads, tags, and agent assignment into a CRM or helpdesk so support history lives alongside the customer record.
  • 02 Mirror email bounces, complaints, and opt-outs back onto CRM contact records so other tools stop messaging suppressed people.
  • 03 Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas
  • 04 Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge

Common sync patterns

Trigger outbound communication from the database

Write a row to a synced table in TiDB 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 TiDB, 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 TiDB as row changes, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Infobip and TiDB

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 TiDB objects How this pairing syncs
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. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Email is specific to Infobip and Tables to TiDB — 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. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Conversations is specific to Infobip and Views to TiDB — 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. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Numbers / Senders is specific to Infobip and Columns to TiDB — 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. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. Delivery Reports & Logs is specific to Infobip and Indexes to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Persons (People CDP) is specific to Infobip and Sequences to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. SMS Messages is specific to Infobip and Databases to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Infobip and TiDB

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 TiDB 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 TiDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

TiDB Infobip Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TiDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks.

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.
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.

How the Infobip and TiDB 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
