Why teams connect PostgreSQL and RingCentral

Turn the messages, calls, and events RingCentral handles into live rows in PostgreSQL, and write back to trigger new outbound communication, with both sides in sync in seconds.

Engineers reach communications tools like RingCentral through APIs, which means auth tokens, webhooks, delivery callbacks, and rate limits, all maintained forever and all shaped differently for every tool. The data those tools produce, who was contacted, what was sent, and what came back, would be simple to use if it lived in PostgreSQL next to everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Subscriptions (Webhooks / WebSocket), Message Store (SMS / MMS / Fax / Voicemail), Call Log, Extensions (Users) from RingCentral into Tables, Views, Materialized Views, Schemas in PostgreSQL and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Communication activity lands in the database as ordinary rows you can query and join, and rows your code writes, such as a queued outbound message or an updated contact, flow back into RingCentral so the tool and the database never disagree.

There is no webhook endpoint to host, no rate limit to babysit, and no nightly export that leaves your services reading yesterday's activity.

Common use cases

  • 01 Provision and deprovision Extensions from an HR system or IdP through the Configuration API so the user roster and assigned numbers stay current as people join or leave.
  • 02 Place RingOut click-to-dial calls from a CRM or internal app so reps dial contacts without leaving their workflow.
  • 03 Feed reporting and BI from a continuously synced Postgres replica instead of scheduled ETL scripts
  • 04 Expose SaaS objects (CRM contacts, ERP invoices, support tickets) as Postgres tables that internal tools can query and join

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern for every channel

Each communications tool looks like tables in the database, so adding email, voice, or messaging is configuration rather than a new codebase.

Communication history as database rows

Every message, call, or event RingCentral records becomes rows in PostgreSQL, ready to query, join with your own data, and report on without touching the vendor API.

Trigger outbound communication from the database

Write a row to a synced table in PostgreSQL and Stacksync propagates it into RingCentral, so your code sends the message, places the call, or schedules the meeting without integration glue.

What you can sync between PostgreSQL and RingCentral

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.

PostgreSQL objects RingCentral objects How this pairing syncs
JSONB Columns Hold semi-structured payloads such as nested SaaS objects or metadata. Call Log Call detail records with direction, result, duration, from/to numbers, and recording references, from the account-wide and per-extension call-log endpoints, filtered by dateFrom/dateTo. Read-only records. JSONB Columns is specific to PostgreSQL and Call Log to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Extensions (Users) User extensions with profile, status, roles, and assigned phone numbers via the Configuration API; create, update, and disable extensions to provision or deprovision users and map them to CRM, HR, or directory identities. Read and write. Sequences is specific to PostgreSQL and Extensions (Users) to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Types and Enums Constrain synced values to a fixed set, mirroring picklist fields. Contacts (Address Book) Personal address-book contacts per extension with full CRUD via POST/PUT/DELETE /address-book/contact; the company directory has no create endpoint and is read-only, so only personal contacts are writable. Read and write. Custom Types and Enums is specific to PostgreSQL and Contacts (Address Book) to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in connected SaaS systems. RingOut (Click-to-call) Two-legged calls placed programmatically via POST /account/~/extension/~/ring-out, with status polled via GET and calls cancelled via DELETE; a write/action path for click-to-dial from a CRM or internal app. Write. Tables is specific to PostgreSQL and RingOut (Click-to-call) to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-side projections used to expose joined or filtered data to a sync. Team Messaging (Chat) RingCentral team-messaging chats, teams, and posts (formerly Glip); read conversations and create posts, create teams, and add or remove members to mirror org structure. Read and write. Views is specific to PostgreSQL and Team Messaging (Chat) to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on a refresh schedule. Presence Real-time presence and detailed telephony state per extension, read via GET presence and subscribed to for live updates, used to reflect agent availability and call status across systems. Read-only. Materialized Views is specific to PostgreSQL and Presence to RingCentral — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between PostgreSQL and RingCentral

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.

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

RingCentral PostgreSQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionRingCentral notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Subscription API webhooks (with a validation-token echo handshake) or WebSocket subscriptions on eventFilters such as message-store/instant,.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to PostgreSQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • PostgreSQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits, instance resources, and replication slot throughput.
  • RingCentral: Per-user (extension) throttling groups per 60 seconds - Heavy 10, Medium 40 (e.g. /sms), Light 50, Auth 5 - as customizable defaults; exceeding returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header and X-Rate-Limit-Group/Limit/Remaining/Window headers.
