Why teams connect Quip and Sysaid

Stop re-entering the same information in Quip and Sysaid: Stacksync keeps the records they share consistent in real time, in both directions.

Two tools in the daily stack often hold overlapping information: the same people, the same companies, or the same pieces of work, described twice. The tools do different jobs, so consolidating is not the answer; the overlap just needs to stop drifting.

Stacksync syncs Documents, Spreadsheets, Folders, Messages in Quip with Configuration Items (CIs), Companies, Custom Fields, Incidents in Sysaid in real time. You choose which records overlap, map the fields that should match, and pick a direction or let changes flow both ways. From then on, an update made in either tool is reflected in the other within seconds, without exports or copy-paste.

Because the sync is field-level, each tool keeps its own extras; only the shared data is held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Folders and their membership with an identity or HR source so team spaces track org structure.
  • 02 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.
  • 03 Create SysAid Incidents from monitoring or error-tracking alerts, then write status and resolution back so both systems stay aligned.
  • 04 Sync Users, Groups, and Companies from an HRIS or identity provider so requester and agent records, departments, and managers stay current in SysAid.

Common sync patterns

Where one tool produces events: mirror them in the other

Payments, replies, messages, or tickets created in one tool can create or update matching records in the other, keeping context in one place.

Where Sysaid is where the team documents or plans: keep its data fed

Information that originates in Quip stays current in Sysaid instead of going stale after a one-time paste.

Handoffs between teams

When work started in one tool continues in the other, the shared fields travel with it automatically.

What you can sync between Quip and Sysaid

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 Sysaid 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. Users End users and admins on the /users endpoint; synced with an HRIS or identity source to keep requester and agent records current. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Messages Comments and chat posts on a thread; the most recent are read with get_messages and new ones written with new_message. Assets Hardware and software inventory; read out to a warehouse or written from a discovery or CMDB source of truth. Messages is specific to Quip and Assets to Sysaid — 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. Configuration Items (CIs) CMDB entries and their relationships; synced with an external CMDB or asset database for one inventory view. Blobs is specific to Quip and Configuration Items (CIs) to Sysaid — 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. Companies Customer and department organizations that scope tickets and users; mapped to Accounts in a CRM or org tables in a database. Documents is specific to Quip and Companies to Sysaid — 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. Custom Fields Org-specific fields on service records, discoverable through the API so mappings can be generated without hardcoding names. Spreadsheets is specific to Quip and Custom Fields to Sysaid — 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. Incidents Break/fix tickets under /api/v1/sr with type=incident; created and updated two-way with status, priority, assignee, category, and SLA fields. Folders is specific to Quip and Incidents to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Quip and Sysaid

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

Sysaid Quip Sub-second propagation

DetectionSysaid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature.

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.
  • Sysaid: Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.

How the Quip and Sysaid 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

Sysaid

Integration surface
REST API (JSON)
Authentication
Client-credentials app keys: an application key (clientId/clientSecret) is created via /v1/application-keys, then exchanged at /v1/access-tokens for a bearer token (default 24h, up to 30 days); an x-sysaid-accountid header scopes the account. Legacy V0 uses session-cookie login.
Change detection
Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature; otherwise poll the /sr endpoint filtering on update_time.gte.
