Why teams connect Quip and Xactly

Sync what happens in Quip with the customer records in Xactly, in real time and in both directions.

The CRM is supposed to be the record of every customer relationship, but customer-relevant information also accumulates in the other tools a team runs. Whatever Quip holds or produces that touches a customer, whether conversations, payments, replies, enriched data, or notes, the CRM only benefits if it arrives without someone copying it over.

Stacksync connects Documents, Spreadsheets, Folders, Messages in Quip to Positions & Titles, Quotas / Targets, Payment Summary (Payable), Products & Customers in Xactly with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Quip update the matching contact or account in Xactly, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Quip can store and use it.

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 Push approved Payment Summary amounts from Incent into a payroll or accounts-payable system so payouts are paid from the mastered comp result.
  • 04 Replicate Products and Customer/Account master from CRM/ERP into Xactly so crediting rules resolve against consistent reference data.

Common sync patterns

Where Quip handles support or shared inboxes

Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in Xactly, so sales sees open issues before the next call.

Where Quip supplies contact or company data

Enriched fields land directly on records in Xactly, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

Where Quip can store CRM context: fields kept current

Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Xactly sync into Quip, so people working there have the context without switching tools.

What you can sync between Quip and Xactly

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 Xactly objects How this pairing syncs
Messages Comments and chat posts on a thread; the most recent are read with get_messages and new ones written with new_message. Quotas / Targets Period quota and target values per position or plan; loaded from planning tools through Connect (write) and read for attainment reporting, so read and write. Messages is specific to Quip and Quotas / Targets to Xactly — 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. Payment Summary (Payable) Approved payable amounts per participant per period; read as the output that feeds payroll and accounts payable, so effectively read-only. Users is specific to Quip and Payment Summary (Payable) to Xactly — 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. Products & Customers Product and customer/account master used in crediting rules and reporting; loaded and updated from CRM/ERP through Connect (write) and read for lookups, so read and write. Blobs is specific to Quip and Products & Customers to Xactly — 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. Orders Sales order and transaction records loaded into Incent as the raw input for crediting and calculation; created and updated through Connect load and ETL steps (write) and read back for reconciliation, so read and write. Documents is specific to Quip and Orders to Xactly — 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. Credits Crediting records that tie an order to a participant and position; system-calculated credits are read, while manual and adjustment credits are loaded through Connect, so read and write. Spreadsheets is specific to Quip and Credits to Xactly — 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. Transactions (Commission & Bonus) Calculated commission and bonus line items produced by Incent's calculation engine; read as the output of comp runs for reporting and downstream payout, so effectively read-only results. Folders is specific to Quip and Transactions (Commission & Bonus) to Xactly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Quip and Xactly

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

Xactly Quip Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Xactly for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No CDC log for external tools to consume.

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.
  • Xactly: Xactly does not publish numeric per-second rate limits. The Connect platform enforces query concurrency and long-running-query limits, so large extracts are paged and heavy loads/queries run as asynchronous Connect jobs (submit, then retrieve results) rather than row-by-row calls; batch loads are the supported path for high volume.

How the Quip and Xactly 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

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

Xactly

Integration surface
Xactly Connect REST API v2 (JSON), plus ODBC/JDBC drivers over the same ANSI-SQL data model. Incent data is exposed as SQL-queryable objects (for example xactly_order, xactly_credit, xactly_transaction, xactly_payment); data is loaded and extracted through Connect load/query steps and server-side ETL Pipelines. The base host is region/pod-specific (for example https://<pod>.xactlycorp.com).
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via the Xactly Connect API Gateway (bearer tokens issued on behalf of an Xactly Incent user), with HTTP Basic authentication using a dedicated Xactly Connect service-user's credentials also supported for the Connect REST API v2. The connecting user needs Connect/API access plus the relevant object permissions in Incent.
Change detection
No CDC log for external tools to consume. Incremental sync uses SQL predicates on modified/last-updated timestamp columns (for example WHERE modified_date > watermark) against Connect's queryable objects, or scheduled Connect ETL Pipelines that pull deltas since the last run. Xactly Connect has no outbound HTTP webhooks, so change detection is pull/ETL-based.
Capabilities

Rate limits
Xactly does not publish numeric per-second rate limits. The Connect platform enforces query concurrency and long-running-query limits, so large extracts are paged and heavy loads/queries run as asynchronous Connect jobs (submit, then retrieve results) rather than row-by-row calls; batch loads are the supported path for high volume.
