Why teams connect MySQL and Sysaid

Mirror Sysaid's data into MySQL so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Sysaid through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in MySQL.

Stacksync mirrors Problems, Changes, Users, Assets from Sysaid into Views, Columns, Primary and Unique Keys, JSON Columns in MySQL and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Sysaid, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Create SysAid Incidents from monitoring or error-tracking alerts, then write status and resolution back so both systems stay aligned.
  • 02 Sync Users, Groups, and Companies from an HRIS or identity provider so requester and agent records, departments, and managers stay current in SysAid.
  • 03 Keep e-commerce orders in MySQL flowing into finance and fulfillment systems without export scripts
  • 04 Feed a warehouse from MySQL continuously using binlog-based capture instead of nightly dumps

Common sync patterns

Automate Sysaid from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in MySQL and Stacksync propagates the change into Sysaid, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Sysaid arrive as row changes in MySQL, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

What you can sync between MySQL and Sysaid

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 Sysaid objects How this pairing syncs
Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. Custom Fields Org-specific fields on service records, discoverable through the API so mappings can be generated without hardcoding names. Stored Procedures is specific to MySQL and Custom Fields to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Triggers An alternative change-capture mechanism when binlog access is unavailable. Incidents Break/fix tickets under /api/v1/sr with type=incident; created and updated two-way with status, priority, assignee, category, and SLA fields. Triggers is specific to MySQL and Incidents to Sysaid — 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. Service Requests Catalog and help-desk requests on the same /sr endpoint (type=request); written or read so fulfillment can be driven from another system. Databases (Schemas) is specific to MySQL and Service Requests to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Problems Root-cause records that group related incidents; read and written to keep problem management aligned with an external ITSM or reporting store. Tables is specific to MySQL and Problems to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Changes Change records (type=change) with approval and scheduling fields; synced two-way to drive CAB review and deployment workflows. Views is specific to MySQL and Changes to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. Users End users and admins on the /users endpoint; synced with an HRIS or identity source to keep requester and agent records current. Columns is specific to MySQL and Users to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MySQL and Sysaid

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 Sysaid 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 Sysaid through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Sysaid MySQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionSysaid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature.

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.
  • Sysaid: Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.

Sysaid

Integration surface
REST API (JSON)
Authentication
Client-credentials app keys: an application key (clientId/clientSecret) is created via /v1/application-keys, then exchanged at /v1/access-tokens for a bearer token (default 24h, up to 30 days); an x-sysaid-accountid header scopes the account. Legacy V0 uses session-cookie login.
Change detection
Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature; otherwise poll the /sr endpoint filtering on update_time.gte.
