Why teams connect Quip and Starburst Enterprise

Get the data locked inside Quip into Starburst Enterprise as live tables, and send results back where Quip can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Quip is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Blobs, Documents, Spreadsheets, Folders from Quip into tables in Starburst Enterprise continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Starburst Enterprise can also be written back into fields in Quip where the tool can use them.

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 Consolidate reads from multiple databases behind a single connection instead of maintaining one integration per source
  • 04 Write curated or reconciled results back to lakehouse tables through connectors that support inserts

Common sync patterns

Analytics on Quip's data

Records and events from Quip land in Starburst Enterprise as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Quip's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

Where Quip accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Starburst Enterprise sync back onto records in Quip, putting analysis where the work happens.

What you can sync between Quip and Starburst Enterprise

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 Starburst Enterprise objects How this pairing syncs
Users Member records read individually or via contacts; get_authenticated_user identifies the token owner. Used read-only for directory-style syncs. Tables Queryable relations; writes pass through to sources whose connectors support them. Users is specific to Quip and Tables to Starburst Enterprise — 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. Views Engine-level SQL views used to shape federated data before syncing it out. Blobs is specific to Quip and Views to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Materialized views Precomputed results that make repeated sync reads cheaper. Documents is specific to Quip and Materialized views to Starburst Enterprise — 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. Columns Typed per the Trino type system, mapped from each source's native types. Spreadsheets is specific to Quip and Columns to Starburst Enterprise — 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. Catalogs Each catalog maps to a connector (Iceberg, Hive, PostgreSQL, and others) exposing an external source. Folders is specific to Quip and Catalogs to Starburst Enterprise — 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. Schemas Namespaces within a catalog, mirroring the underlying source's databases or schemas. Messages is specific to Quip and Schemas to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Quip and Starburst Enterprise

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 Starburst Enterprise 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 Starburst Enterprise as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Starburst Enterprise Quip Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Starburst Enterprise for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Query-based polling.

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.
  • Starburst Enterprise: Throughput is governed by cluster sizing and resource groups rather than API quotas.
