Why teams connect Campfire and TimescaleDB

Mirror Campfire's data into TimescaleDB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Campfire through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in TimescaleDB.

Stacksync mirrors Fixed Asset, Fixed Asset Class, Bill, Debit Memo from Campfire into Continuous Aggregates, Regular PostgreSQL Tables, Views, Schemas in TimescaleDB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Campfire, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Send scheduled digest messages built from synced database queries.
  • Post alerts into a room when records change in a synced system such as a CRM or an operational database.
  • Replicate subscription and billing events from operational Postgres tables into Timescale hypertables for time-series analysis.
  • Keep device or asset reference tables bi-directionally in sync between TimescaleDB and an ERP.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Campfire with a query

Records from Campfire are ordinary rows in TimescaleDB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Campfire from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in TimescaleDB and Stacksync propagates the change into Campfire, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Campfire and TimescaleDB

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.

Campfire objects TimescaleDB objects
Chart Transaction Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers.
Fixed Asset Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment.
Fixed Asset Class Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs.
Bill Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly.
Debit Memo Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems.
Invoice Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data.

How the Campfire and TimescaleDB connectors work

Campfire

Integration surface
HTTP endpoints for bot integrations on a self-hosted instance
Authentication
API key — create an API user with a Super User Role in Campfire (Settings -> API Keys), generate an API Key secret, and provide it in the Stacksync connection setup
Change detection
Near real-time updates via change tracking (incremental sync); delete detection per object (some objects detected every 24h)
Capabilities
read · write · CDC · webhooks
Rate limits
Limits depend on the self-hosted deployment; confirm against the instance's documentation.
Campfire setup guide

TimescaleDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL)
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must be remapped to the parent — or timestamp-based polling on time columns; regular Postgres tables replicate through standard logical replication
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by database resources and connection limits.
