Why teams connect Microsoft Graph and PostgreSQL

Keep PostgreSQL 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.

PostgreSQL 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 Primary and Unique Keys, JSONB Columns, Sequences, Custom Types and Enums in PostgreSQL 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 Let an application write to its own database and have those rows appear as records in business systems in near real time
  • 02 Consolidate data from several microservice databases into one operational Postgres store
  • 03 Send Outlook mail through the sendMail action when a database or CRM record changes, then read replies back onto the same record.
  • 04 Mirror OneDrive and SharePoint drive items into a data store to index documents and their metadata for search and governance.

Common sync patterns

React to changes on either side in near real time

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

Where Microsoft Graph manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Microsoft Graph stay matched to the users or owners table in PostgreSQL, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in PostgreSQL creates or updates the matching record in Microsoft Graph, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

What you can sync between Microsoft Graph and PostgreSQL

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 PostgreSQL objects How this pairing syncs
Contacts Personal Outlook contacts via /users/{id}/contacts; full create, read, update, delete, synced two-way with CRM person records. Primary and Unique Keys Used as match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict resolution. Contacts is specific to Microsoft Graph and Primary and Unique Keys to PostgreSQL — 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. JSONB Columns Hold semi-structured payloads such as nested SaaS objects or metadata. Drive items (OneDrive & SharePoint) is specific to Microsoft Graph and JSONB Columns to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Teams messages and chats Channel messages and chats via /teams/{id}/channels and /chats; read message history and post new messages for alerts and archiving. Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Teams messages and chats is specific to Microsoft Graph and Sequences to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Planner tasks Plans, buckets, and tasks via /planner; read and write task status, assignments, and due dates to keep project state in sync. Custom Types and Enums Constrain synced values to a fixed set, mirroring picklist fields. Planner tasks is specific to Microsoft Graph and Custom Types and Enums to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Entra ID user accounts read and written via /users; create, update profile attributes, and enable or disable accounts with User.ReadWrite.All. Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in connected SaaS systems. Users is specific to Microsoft Graph and Tables to PostgreSQL — 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. Views Read-side projections used to expose joined or filtered data to a sync. Groups and memberships is specific to Microsoft Graph and Views to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Microsoft Graph and PostgreSQL

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

PostgreSQL Microsoft Graph Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in PostgreSQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication (wal_level = logical) for change data capture via the "Postgres" connector.

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.
  • PostgreSQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits, instance resources, and replication slot throughput.

How the Microsoft Graph and PostgreSQL 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
