Why teams connect Microsoft Graph and Quip

Connect the tickets, records, and events in Quip to the systems engineering runs in Microsoft Graph, kept current in real time and in both directions.

Quip is where customer-facing and operational work happens: the tickets, conversations, contacts, and records a team touches every day. Microsoft Graph is where engineering runs the systems behind that work — the issue trackers, message brokers, directories, and monitors that keep services moving. The same items, people, and events matter to both, and when the only link between them is a manual hand-off or an overnight export, each side acts on a stale copy of what the other already knows.

Stacksync syncs Users, Blobs, Documents, Spreadsheets in Quip with Users, Groups and memberships, Mail messages (Outlook), Calendar events in Microsoft Graph field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync maps the overlap, resolves conflicts by rules you set, and keeps every copy current, with no middleware to build and no API limits to babysit.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write status rows from an operational database into a shared Quip Spreadsheet with update_spreadsheet_row so ops and deal-desk teams see live figures in-document.
  • 02 Read Messages from project threads into a data store to analyze collaboration activity and comment volume per document.
  • 03 Sync Planner tasks two-way with a project or ticketing database so task status, assignments, and due dates stay consistent.
  • 04 Two-way sync Users and Groups between Microsoft Entra ID and an HRIS or Postgres so joiners, movers, and leavers provision and deprovision accounts and group memberships automatically.

Common sync patterns

Where Microsoft Graph moves messages between services: activity lands on the stream

Records created or changed in Quip publish to the queue or topic in Microsoft Graph as they happen, so downstream services react to real events rather than polling for them.

Where Microsoft Graph is the directory or identity source: one set of users

People and accounts in Quip stay matched to the users in Microsoft Graph, so access, provisioning, and org changes propagate instead of being keyed in twice.

Where Microsoft Graph watches operations: live volumes for visibility

Open items, throughput, and error counts from Quip replicate into Microsoft Graph, so the operational view reflects what is actually happening in the business.

What you can sync between Microsoft Graph and Quip

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 Quip 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. Users Member records read individually or via contacts; get_authenticated_user identifies the token owner. Used read-only for directory-style syncs. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
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. Blobs Images and file attachments stored per thread; downloaded with get_blob and uploaded with put_blob against a specific thread ID. Drive items (OneDrive & SharePoint) is specific to Microsoft Graph and Blobs to Quip — 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. Documents Editable rich-text threads addressed by ID; created and updated over REST via HTML or Markdown sections, with an updated_usec timestamp used to detect edits. Teams messages and chats is specific to Microsoft Graph and Documents to Quip — 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. Spreadsheets Live-spreadsheet threads; rows and cells are read and written through add_to_spreadsheet and update_spreadsheet_row helpers on the same thread endpoints. Planner tasks is specific to Microsoft Graph and Spreadsheets to Quip — 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. Folders Private, Shared, and Group containers that organize threads; membership is added or removed via the folders endpoints for access control. Groups and memberships is specific to Microsoft Graph and Folders to Quip — 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. Messages Comments and chat posts on a thread; the most recent are read with get_messages and new ones written with new_message. Mail messages (Outlook) is specific to Microsoft Graph and Messages to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Microsoft Graph and Quip

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 Quip 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 written to Quip through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Quip Microsoft Graph Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Quip for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on thread updated_usec timestamps — get_recent_threads paginates by max_updated_usec.

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.
  • Quip: Automation API allows roughly 50 requests per minute per access token; exceeding it returns HTTP 503, and responses carry X-RateLimit headers.

How the Microsoft Graph and Quip 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

Rate limits

Quip

Integration surface
REST (v1 Automation API)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens (RFC 6749/6750) or a Personal Access Token; domain admins can pre-approve apps for domain-wide authentication
