Why teams connect Quip and Recurly

Connect the financial records in Recurly with the work happening in Quip, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.

Recurly 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 Measured Units and Usage, Accounts, Subscriptions, Plans in Recurly and Folders, Messages, Users, Blobs in Quip in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Quip keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Recurly 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 Post usage records to Measured Units on metered Subscriptions from a metering database before each bill run.
  • 02 Sync Accounts and Subscriptions bi-directionally with Postgres so product and provisioning systems read live entitlement state and write plan or seat changes back to Recurly.
  • 03 Post a new_message into a linked Quip thread when a record changes in a CRM or ticketing system, notifying the account team where they plan.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

Where Quip collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Recurly

Payment and charge activity flows into Recurly 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.

Where Quip handles customer conversations: billing context in view

Front-line teams see invoice and payment status from Recurly next to the customer they are helping, without logging into the finance system.

What you can sync between Quip and Recurly

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.

Quip objects Recurly objects How this pairing syncs
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. Invoices Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges. Documents is specific to Quip and Invoices to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Transactions Individual payment attempts — captures, refunds, and voids; typically read into a warehouse for reconciliation and dunning analysis. Spreadsheets is specific to Quip and Transactions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Folders Private, Shared, and Group containers that organize threads; membership is added or removed via the folders endpoints for access control. Line Items One-time charges and credits on an account outside a subscription; synced for accurate revenue and adjustment reporting. Folders is specific to Quip and Line Items to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Messages Comments and chat posts on a thread; the most recent are read with get_messages and new ones written with new_message. Coupons and Redemptions Discount definitions and their application to accounts and subscriptions; read for discount and promotion analysis. Messages is specific to Quip and Coupons and Redemptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Member records read individually or via contacts; get_authenticated_user identifies the token owner. Used read-only for directory-style syncs. Billing Info Tokenized payment method (card/ACH) on an account; written when onboarding customers and read for payment-health signals (never stores raw card numbers). Users is specific to Quip and Billing Info to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Blobs Images and file attachments stored per thread; downloaded with get_blob and uploaded with put_blob against a specific thread ID. Measured Units and Usage Metered-billing units; usage records are posted to a subscription before each bill run for consumption-based pricing. Blobs is specific to Quip and Measured Units and Usage to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Quip and Recurly

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.

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

Recurly Quip Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Quip: Automation API allows roughly 50 requests per minute per access token; exceeding it returns HTTP 503, and responses carry X-RateLimit headers.
  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
