Why teams connect CockroachDB and Slack

Mirror Slack's data into CockroachDB 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 Slack 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 CockroachDB.

Stacksync mirrors Files, Reactions, Channels, Messages from Slack into Tables, Views, Indexes, Sequences in CockroachDB 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 Slack, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Post CRM record changes into deal or account channels so the team sees updates without opening the CRM
  • Sync the Slack user directory with the HRIS or identity provider to keep memberships and profiles current
  • Write application events from CockroachDB back to CRM fields to give go-to-market teams product context.
  • Use changefeeds to propagate row changes from a multi-region cluster into a warehouse or search index.

Automate Slack from your codebase

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

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Slack arrive as row changes in CockroachDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

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.

What you can sync between CockroachDB and Slack

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.

CockroachDB objects Slack objects
Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. Channels Conversations (public, private, DMs) that messages are read from and posted to.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables from application tables. Messages Keyed by channel and timestamp; posted via chat.postMessage and read via history methods.
Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases. Threads Replies grouped under a parent message timestamp, preserved when archiving conversations.
Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Users Workspace members with profile fields, synced against HR systems and identity providers.
Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns. User groups Handles like @support that map to teams in external systems.
Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system. Files Uploads attached to messages, retrievable for archiving.
