Why teams connect Microsoft Graph and MySQL

Keep MySQL and Microsoft Graph in step: the rows in your database and the Calendar events, Contacts, Drive items (OneDrive & SharePoint), Teams messages and chats your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

MySQL is where your application's durable data lives; Microsoft Graph is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs JSON Columns, Stored Procedures, Triggers, Databases (Schemas) in MySQL with Calendar events, Contacts, Drive items (OneDrive & SharePoint), Teams messages and chats in Microsoft Graph field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed a warehouse from MySQL continuously using binlog-based capture instead of nightly dumps
  • 02 Two-way sync between a MySQL application database and a CRM so operational records and sales records stay identical
  • 03 Sync Outlook Calendar events and Contacts two-way with a CRM so reps' meetings and the people they meet stay aligned across both systems.
  • 04 Send Outlook mail through the sendMail action when a database or CRM record changes, then read replies back onto the same record.

Common sync patterns

Land tool activity as queryable rows

Records and events from Microsoft Graph arrive in MySQL as rows, so tickets, alerts, messages, or identity changes become joinable data your services and reports read directly.

One integration pattern instead of per-tool API code

Read and write the synced tables in MySQL and Stacksync keeps Microsoft Graph current, replacing the auth, webhooks, rate limits, and retry logic you would otherwise maintain for each tool.

React to changes on either side in near real time

Updates in Microsoft Graph arrive as row changes in MySQL, and writes to MySQL propagate to Microsoft Graph within seconds, so triggers, jobs, and alerts fire without polling.

What you can sync between Microsoft Graph and MySQL

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.

Microsoft Graph objects MySQL objects How this pairing syncs
Users Entra ID user accounts read and written via /users; create, update profile attributes, and enable or disable accounts with User.ReadWrite.All. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling. Users is specific to Microsoft Graph and Primary and Unique Keys to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups and memberships Microsoft 365 and security groups via /groups; read and write name, owners, and add/remove members, with membership deltas surfaced by delta query. JSON Columns Validated semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS data. Groups and memberships is specific to Microsoft Graph and JSON Columns to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Mail messages (Outlook) Messages via /users/{id}/messages; read and create drafts, update, and send with the sendMail action, so this surface is fully read-write. Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. Mail messages (Outlook) is specific to Microsoft Graph and Stored Procedures to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Calendar events Outlook events via /users/{id}/events; read and write meetings, attendees, and recurrence, and accept or decline invitations. Triggers An alternative change-capture mechanism when binlog access is unavailable. Calendar events is specific to Microsoft Graph and Triggers to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Personal Outlook contacts via /users/{id}/contacts; full create, read, update, delete, synced two-way with CRM person records. Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes. Contacts is specific to Microsoft Graph and Databases (Schemas) to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Drive items (OneDrive & SharePoint) Files and folders via /drives and /me/drive; read and write items, upload and download content, and read per-item metadata. Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Drive items (OneDrive & SharePoint) is specific to Microsoft Graph and Tables to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Microsoft Graph and MySQL

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.

Microsoft Graph MySQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionMicrosoft Graph notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Delta query (change tracking) returns created, updated, and deleted items since the last deltaLink for users, groups, mail, events, contacts, and.

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

MySQL Microsoft Graph Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MySQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Microsoft Graph: Throttled per app and per tenant, returning HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header; limits vary by service — the Outlook mail service allows about 10,000 requests per 10 minutes per app per mailbox with up to 4 concurrent requests, and delta and subscription tokens expire and must be renewed.
  • MySQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.

How the Microsoft Graph and MySQL connectors work

Microsoft Graph

Integration surface
Microsoft Graph unified REST API (v1.0 and beta) at graph.microsoft.com, spanning Microsoft 365 services — Entra ID, Outlook mail and calendar, OneDrive and SharePoint, Teams, and Planner; supports JSON $batch (up to 20 requests per call).
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform (Microsoft Entra ID). An app registration holds delegated or application (app-only) scopes such as Mail.ReadWrite, Calendars.ReadWrite, Files.ReadWrite.All, User.ReadWrite.All, and Group.ReadWrite.All; application permissions require tenant admin consent.
Change detection
Delta query (change tracking) returns created, updated, and deleted items since the last deltaLink for users, groups, mail, events, contacts, and driveItems; change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) POST near-real-time notifications to a notification URL and must be renewed before they expire.
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Throttled per app and per tenant, returning HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header; limits vary by service — the Outlook mail service allows about 10,000 requests per 10 minutes per app per mailbox with up to 4 concurrent requests, and delta and subscription tokens expire and must be renewed.

MySQL

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (MySQL client/server protocol)
Authentication
Database credentials entered as a connection string or parameters, with optional SSL root certificate upload and optional SSH tunnel (SSH user + SSH host)
Change detection
Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when binary logging is enabled)
Capabilities
