Why teams connect Attio and MySQL

Treat Attio like part of your database: its records live in MySQL as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in MySQL, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Deals, Workspaces, Custom objects, People from Attio into JSON Columns, Stored Procedures, Triggers, Databases (Schemas) in MySQL with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Attio with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • Write product usage and enrichment data into Attio attributes so GTM teams work from live account signals.
  • Keep Attio aligned with a billing system or ERP on customer records and plan status.
  • Keep e-commerce orders in MySQL flowing into finance and fulfillment systems without export scripts
  • Feed a warehouse from MySQL continuously using binlog-based capture instead of nightly dumps

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Attio API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Attio arrive as row changes in MySQL, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Attio become tables in MySQL you can join with application data directly.

What you can sync between Attio and MySQL

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.

Attio objects MySQL objects
Deals Pipeline records; read out for revenue reporting and written to from automation. JSON Columns Validated semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS data.
Workspaces Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows.
Custom objects Workspace-defined objects that behave like standard ones in the API. Triggers An alternative change-capture mechanism when binlog access is unavailable.
People Standard person object; synced with marketing tools and warehouse person tables. Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes.
Companies Standard company object; matched to billing and product accounts in two-way syncs. Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems.
Users Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources.

How the Attio and MySQL connectors work

Attio

Integration surface
REST API
Authentication
Guided in-app connection ("Attio CRM" connection created in a few clicks, "without any coding required"); the docs do not name the underlying auth mechanism (OAuth vs API key)
Change detection
Webhooks on record and list-entry events, with polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's published API rate limits.
Attio setup guide

MySQL

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (MySQL client/server protocol)
Authentication
Database credentials entered as a connection string or parameters, with optional SSL root certificate upload and optional SSH tunnel (SSH user + SSH host)
Change detection
Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when binary logging is enabled)
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources
