Why teams connect Airtable and MongoDB
Keep Airtable and MongoDB synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.
Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.
Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Airtable and MongoDB continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.
Common use cases
- Write cleaned records edited in Airtable back to the source system of record, keeping both sides consistent in near real time.
- Use Airtable as a lightweight front end for product catalogs or inventory stored in an ERP or warehouse database.
- Keep a MongoDB-backed product catalog aligned with an ERP's item master in both directions.
- Consolidate documents from multiple clusters or tenants into a single warehouse-facing store.
Regional or environment copies
Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.
Cross-engine sync
Keep the same dataset live in both Airtable and MongoDB, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.
Migration with zero-downtime cutover
When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.
What you can sync between Airtable and MongoDB
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.
| Airtable objects | MongoDB objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Linked records Cross-table references that carry relationships between synced tables. | Change streams The oplog-backed event feed that powers real-time change capture. | |
| Attachments File fields exposed as expiring URLs that syncs can mirror to other systems. | GridFS files Chunked file storage whose metadata can be referenced by synced documents. | |
| Collaborators User fields useful for mapping record ownership to accounts in a CRM or database. | Databases Logical groupings of collections that scope a sync connection. | |
| Bases Top-level containers; each base has its own API endpoint and schema. | Collections The table-like sync unit; each collection maps to a table or object in the paired system. | |
| Tables Map to sync tables; schema is readable through the base metadata endpoints. | Documents BSON records created, updated, and deleted during syncs, keyed by _id. | |
| Records The row-level unit created, updated, and deleted during syncs, identified by rec-prefixed IDs. | Embedded documents and arrays Nested structures that syncs flatten or map to related records in relational targets. |

How the Airtable and MongoDB connectors work
Airtable
- Integration surface
- REST API (per-base Web API plus metadata and webhooks endpoints)
- Authentication
- OAuth (Airtable OAuth grant to specific bases or all resources); the authorizing user must have a `creator` role, since only creator roles can create webhooks
- Change detection
- Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks); formula fields don't emit change events and are re-synced every hour
- Capabilities
- read · write · CDC · webhooks
- Rate limits
- The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.
MongoDB
- Integration surface
- MongoDB wire protocol via official drivers; Atlas additionally offers an administration REST API for cluster management
- Authentication
- Database credentials (username/password) or TLS/SSL X.509 certificate (.pem upload), entered individually or via a MongoDB connection string (SRV or standard); Stacksync IP allowlisting required
- Change detection
- MongoDB oplog and change streams (requires the database to run as a replica set — even single-node); Stacksync leverages these built-in tools to track changes in real time

FAQ
Airtable and MongoDB integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Airtable and MongoDB: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Airtable's Linked records and Attachments), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.

Common patterns for Airtable and MongoDB: Regional or environment copies; Cross-engine sync; Migration with zero-downtime cutover. Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.
-
Airtable: REST API (per-base Web API plus metadata and webhooks endpoints). Authentication: OAuth (Airtable OAuth grant to specific bases or all resources); the authorizing user must have a `creator` role, since only creator roles can create webhooks. MongoDB: MongoDB wire protocol via official drivers; Atlas additionally offers an administration REST API for cluster management. Authentication: Database credentials (username/password) or TLS/SSL X.509 certificate (.pem upload), entered individually or via a MongoDB connection string (SRV or standard); Stacksync IP allowlisting required. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Airtable: Computed field types such as formulas, lookups, and rollups are read-only over the API, so bi-directional syncs must map writes to source fields. MongoDB: Replica set configuration is required even for a single node — standalone MongoDB cannot be change-tracked. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Airtable and MongoDB without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Airtable and MongoDB records are not retained after a sync operation.
