Why teams connect MySQL and Namely
Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: MySQL and Namely share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.
Namely is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. MySQL is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Job Titles, Job Tiers, Groups, Teams in Namely need to exist as queryable Stored Procedures, Triggers, Databases (Schemas), Tables in MySQL before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.
Stacksync syncs Stored Procedures, Triggers, Databases (Schemas), Tables in MySQL with Job Titles, Job Tiers, Groups, Teams in Namely field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Namely typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.
The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.
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 Feed Namely Reports as JSON into a database on a schedule for roster, turnover, and diversity dashboards without manual CSV exports.
- 04 Provision or deprovision accounts in an IdP or directory when a Profile's user_status or start_date changes, and write the resulting user ID and email back onto the Profile.
Common sync patterns
Computed and operational fields flow back
Values assembled or corrected in MySQL write onto the matching record in Namely where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.
Mirror people records into the database
Records maintained in Namely land as queryable Stored Procedures, Triggers, Databases (Schemas), Tables in MySQL, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.
One directory of record
When a person record is added, changed, or deactivated in either system, the matching row in the other stays current, ending dual maintenance.
What you can sync between MySQL and Namely
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.
| MySQL objects | Namely objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. | Events Home-feed items such as announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, and new arrivals; typically read-only into comms tools. | Stored Procedures is specific to MySQL and Events to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Triggers An alternative change-capture mechanism when binlog access is unavailable. | Profiles The core employee record (personal, job, contact, and compensation fields); synced two-way via GET/POST/PUT with updated_at driving incremental polling. | Triggers is specific to MySQL and Profiles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes. | Job Titles Job title definitions; read and written so titles stay aligned with an HRIS, directory, or reporting dimension. | Databases (Schemas) is specific to MySQL and Job Titles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. | Job Tiers Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables. | Tables is specific to MySQL and Job Tiers to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. | Groups Departments and locations that organize Profiles; synced to keep org structure aligned with a warehouse or IdP. | Views is specific to MySQL and Groups to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. | Teams Teams and team categories a Profile belongs to; read and written for org-chart and provisioning workflows. | Columns is specific to MySQL and Teams to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between MySQL and Namely
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.
MySQL Namely 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 Namely through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Namely MySQL Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Namely for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks.
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to MySQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Rate-limit considerations
- MySQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.
- Namely: Namely's public docs do not publish a fixed request quota; the REST API returns standard HTTP status codes, so integrations should throttle and back off on 429/5xx responses.

FAQ
MySQL and Namely integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between MySQL and Namely: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as MySQL's Stored Procedures and Triggers), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
MySQL: INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE provides native upsert semantics for idempotent inbound writes. Namely: Reports return as instantly-updating JSON snapshots; the feed and report surfaces are read-oriented while Profiles, Job Titles, and Groups are read-write. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between MySQL and Namely without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means MySQL and Namely records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed MySQL and Namely connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom MySQL–Namely integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both MySQL and Namely. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on MySQL: Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when binary logging is enabled). On Namely: No webhooks; integrations poll GET endpoints and compare the updated_at / created_at timestamps on Profiles and related objects to detect changes. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
