Why teams connect Pigment and Quip
Connect the financial records in Pigment with the work happening in Quip, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.
Pigment holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Quip is where part of the day-to-day work happens, and that work often involves the same customers and transactions. Without a live connection, the two drift apart, and people end up answering questions from stale copies.
Stacksync keeps Scenarios, Data imports, Users and permissions, Applications in Pigment and Documents, Spreadsheets, Folders, Messages in Quip in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Quip keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Pigment is mapped field by field, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds.
There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.
Common use cases
- 01 Export approved budgets and forecasts back to a warehouse or Postgres for downstream reporting.
- 02 Keep dimension lists such as departments and cost centers consistent with master data in the ERP.
- 03 Mirror Documents and Spreadsheets into Postgres or a warehouse, keyed on thread ID and refreshed when updated_usec advances, for search and reporting on account plans and notes.
- 04 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.
Common sync patterns
Where Quip handles customer conversations: billing context in view
Front-line teams see invoice and payment status from Pigment next to the customer they are helping, without logging into the finance system.
Where Quip collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Pigment
Payment and charge activity flows into Pigment as it happens, so the books reflect reality without manual reconciliation.
Where Quip tracks people or companies: one identity
A customer's details updated in either system update the other, so finance and the rest of the business stop maintaining two versions of the same customer.
What you can sync between Pigment 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.
| Pigment objects | Quip objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data imports Scheduled loads that bring actuals from ERPs, CRMs, and HRIS into the model | 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. | Data imports is specific to Pigment and Spreadsheets to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Users and permissions Access controls governing which model areas a sync can touch | Folders Private, Shared, and Group containers that organize threads; membership is added or removed via the folders endpoints for access control. | Users and permissions is specific to Pigment and Folders to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Applications Planning models organized by domain such as finance, sales, or workforce | Messages Comments and chat posts on a thread; the most recent are read with get_messages and new ones written with new_message. | Applications is specific to Pigment and Messages to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Metrics Multidimensional values holding plans and actuals; the main target for inbound data | Users Member records read individually or via contacts; get_authenticated_user identifies the token owner. Used read-only for directory-style syncs. | Metrics is specific to Pigment and Users to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Dimension lists Master data like accounts, products, or employees that metrics are sliced by | Blobs Images and file attachments stored per thread; downloaded with get_blob and uploaded with put_blob against a specific thread ID. | Dimension lists is specific to Pigment and Blobs to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tables Row-based transactional data loaded into models from source systems | 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. | Tables is specific to Pigment and Documents to Quip — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Pigment 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.
Pigment Quip Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Pigment for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No change feed.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Quip through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Quip Pigment 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 Pigment through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Pigment: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
- Quip: Automation API allows roughly 50 requests per minute per access token; exceeding it returns HTTP 503, and responses carry X-RateLimit headers.

FAQ
Pigment and Quip integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Pigment and Quip: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Pigment's Data imports and Users and permissions), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
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 Pigment and Quip records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Pigment and Quip connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Pigment–Quip integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Pigment and Quip. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Pigment: No change feed; syncs run scheduled imports and exports. On Quip: Polling on thread updated_usec timestamps — get_recent_threads paginates by max_updated_usec; there is no change-data-capture and no outbound change webhook. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Pigment side: Scenarios, Data imports, Users and permissions, Applications, plus custom fields where Pigment exposes them. On the Quip side: Documents, Spreadsheets, Folders, Messages. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
