Why teams connect RingCentral and TiDB

Turn the messages, calls, and events RingCentral handles into live rows in TiDB, and write back to trigger new outbound communication, with both sides in sync in seconds.

Engineers reach communications tools like RingCentral through APIs, which means auth tokens, webhooks, delivery callbacks, and rate limits, all maintained forever and all shaped differently for every tool. The data those tools produce, who was contacted, what was sent, and what came back, would be simple to use if it lived in TiDB next to everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Presence, Subscriptions (Webhooks / WebSocket), Message Store (SMS / MMS / Fax / Voicemail), Call Log from RingCentral into Sequences, Databases, Tables, Views in TiDB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Communication activity lands in the database as ordinary rows you can query and join, and rows your code writes, such as a queued outbound message or an updated contact, flow back into RingCentral so the tool and the database never disagree.

There is no webhook endpoint to host, no rate limit to babysit, and no nightly export that leaves your services reading yesterday's activity.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync personal Address Book contacts so a rep's RingCentral contacts match the CRM and new CRM contacts appear in RingCentral.
  • 02 Sync Message Store SMS, MMS, and fax records into Postgres or a warehouse so support and compliance can search conversation history alongside CRM records.
  • 03 Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas
  • 04 Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern for every channel

Each communications tool looks like tables in the database, so adding email, voice, or messaging is configuration rather than a new codebase.

Communication history as database rows

Every message, call, or event RingCentral records becomes rows in TiDB, ready to query, join with your own data, and report on without touching the vendor API.

Trigger outbound communication from the database

Write a row to a synced table in TiDB and Stacksync propagates it into RingCentral, so your code sends the message, places the call, or schedules the meeting without integration glue.

What you can sync between RingCentral and TiDB

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.

RingCentral objects TiDB objects How this pairing syncs
Extensions (Users) User extensions with profile, status, roles, and assigned phone numbers via the Configuration API; create, update, and disable extensions to provision or deprovision users and map them to CRM, HR, or directory identities. Read and write. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Extensions (Users) is specific to RingCentral and Sequences to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts (Address Book) Personal address-book contacts per extension with full CRUD via POST/PUT/DELETE /address-book/contact; the company directory has no create endpoint and is read-only, so only personal contacts are writable. Read and write. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. Contacts (Address Book) is specific to RingCentral and Databases to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
RingOut (Click-to-call) Two-legged calls placed programmatically via POST /account/~/extension/~/ring-out, with status polled via GET and calls cancelled via DELETE; a write/action path for click-to-dial from a CRM or internal app. Write. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. RingOut (Click-to-call) is specific to RingCentral and Tables to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Team Messaging (Chat) RingCentral team-messaging chats, teams, and posts (formerly Glip); read conversations and create posts, create teams, and add or remove members to mirror org structure. Read and write. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Team Messaging (Chat) is specific to RingCentral and Views to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Presence Real-time presence and detailed telephony state per extension, read via GET presence and subscribed to for live updates, used to reflect agent availability and call status across systems. Read-only. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Presence is specific to RingCentral and Columns to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Subscriptions (Webhooks / WebSocket) Event subscriptions created through the Subscription API with eventFilters (message-store, presence, telephony sessions, extension changes); full CRUD, and the mechanism for near-real-time change delivery over webhooks or WebSocket. Read and write. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. Subscriptions (Webhooks / WebSocket) is specific to RingCentral and Indexes to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between RingCentral and TiDB

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.

RingCentral TiDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionRingCentral notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Subscription API webhooks (with a validation-token echo handshake) or WebSocket subscriptions on eventFilters such as message-store/instant,.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to TiDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

TiDB RingCentral Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TiDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • RingCentral: Per-user (extension) throttling groups per 60 seconds - Heavy 10, Medium 40 (e.g. /sms), Light 50, Auth 5 - as customizable defaults; exceeding returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header and X-Rate-Limit-Group/Limit/Remaining/Window headers.
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.
