Why teams connect Quip and SAP Hana

Mirror Quip's data into SAP Hana 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 Quip 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 SAP Hana.

Stacksync mirrors Folders, Messages, Users, Blobs from Quip into SQL views, Schemas, Sequences, Triggers in SAP Hana 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 Quip, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 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.
  • 02 Read Messages from project threads into a data store to analyze collaboration activity and comment volume per document.
  • 03 Detect inserts, updates, and deletes on high-write tables via AFTER triggers or a last-modified column and replicate the deltas downstream near-real-time.
  • 04 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.

Common sync patterns

Automate Quip from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in SAP Hana and Stacksync propagates the change into Quip, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Quip arrive as row changes in SAP Hana, 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 Quip and SAP Hana

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 SAP Hana 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. Column store tables HANA's default table type, optimized for analytics; synced two-way as rows over the SQL interface with the primary key driving upserts and delete tracking. Documents is specific to Quip and Column store tables to SAP Hana — 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. Row store tables OLTP-oriented tables held fully in memory; read and written the same way through the SAP HANA client for high-write operational tables. Spreadsheets is specific to Quip and Row store tables to SAP Hana — 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. Calculation views Modeled analytic views over base tables; read-only sources for pushing aggregated or joined results into a warehouse or downstream app. Folders is specific to Quip and Calculation views to SAP Hana — 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. SQL views Standard database views; read-only projections synced outbound when the source data should not be exposed as raw base tables. Messages is specific to Quip and SQL views to SAP Hana — 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. Schemas Namespaces that group tables and views; the connector targets a schema and enumerates its objects from the catalog to build the sync. Users is specific to Quip and Schemas to SAP Hana — 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. Sequences Server-generated key values; relevant when writing rows into tables whose identity is assigned HANA-side rather than by the source system. Blobs is specific to Quip and Sequences to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Quip and SAP Hana

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 SAP Hana 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 applied to SAP Hana as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

SAP Hana Quip Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SAP Hana are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table.

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.
  • SAP Hana: No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.

How the Quip and SAP Hana connectors work

Quip

Integration surface
REST (v1 Automation API)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens (RFC 6749/6750) or a Personal Access Token; domain admins can pre-approve apps for domain-wide authentication
Change detection
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
Capabilities

Rate limits
Automation API allows roughly 50 requests per minute per access token; exceeding it returns HTTP 503, and responses carry X-RateLimit headers

SAP Hana

Integration surface
SQL over the SAP HANA client (JDBC/ODBC drivers); OData/REST via XS for app-layer access
Authentication
Dedicated database user credentials over an encrypted TLS connection (password sent hashed); Kerberos, SAML, JWT, and X.509 certificate authentication are also supported. SAP HANA Cloud enforces TLS and IP allowlisting.
Change detection
Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table; system-versioned temporal tables and SLT/SDI provide trigger- and log-based CDC. No native webhooks.
