Why teams connect Infobip and TimescaleDB

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

Stacksync mirrors Delivery Reports & Logs, Persons (People CDP), SMS Messages, WhatsApp Messages from Infobip into Views, Schemas, Hypertables, Chunks in TimescaleDB 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 Replicate subscription and billing events from operational Postgres tables into Timescale hypertables for time-series analysis.
  • 04 Keep device or asset reference tables bi-directionally in sync between TimescaleDB and an ERP.

Common sync patterns

React to activity as it happens

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

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 TimescaleDB, ready to query, join with your own data, and report on without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Infobip and TimescaleDB

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 TimescaleDB 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. Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems. Email is specific to Infobip and Continuous Aggregates to TimescaleDB — 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. Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data. Conversations is specific to Infobip and Regular PostgreSQL Tables to TimescaleDB — 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. Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers. Numbers / Senders is specific to Infobip and Views to TimescaleDB — 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. Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment. Delivery Reports & Logs is specific to Infobip and Schemas to TimescaleDB — 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. Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs. Persons (People CDP) is specific to Infobip and Hypertables to TimescaleDB — 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. Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly. SMS Messages is specific to Infobip and Chunks to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Infobip and TimescaleDB

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

TimescaleDB Infobip Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TimescaleDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must.

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.
  • TimescaleDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by database resources and connection limits.

How the Infobip and TimescaleDB 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
