Why teams connect RavenDB and Slack

Mirror Slack's data into RavenDB 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 RavenDB.

Stacksync mirrors Threads, Users, User groups, Files from Slack into Documents, Collections, Indexes, Attachments in RavenDB 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
  • Mirror reference data from relational systems into RavenDB collections that serve application reads.
  • Consolidate documents from distributed RavenDB clusters into one reporting store.

Read Slack with a query

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

Automate Slack from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in RavenDB 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 RavenDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between RavenDB 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.

RavenDB objects Slack objects
Indexes Static and auto indexes used to query documents for filtered reads Channels Conversations (public, private, DMs) that messages are read from and posted to.
Attachments Binary payloads stored with documents, handled separately from the JSON body Messages Keyed by channel and timestamp; posted via chat.postMessage and read via history methods.
Revisions Historical versions of documents, useful for audit-oriented replication Threads Replies grouped under a parent message timestamp, preserved when archiving conversations.
Counters Numeric values attached to documents that change independently of the document body Users Workspace members with profile fields, synced against HR systems and identity providers.
Time series Timestamped measurements stored per document, synced for metrics analysis User groups Handles like @support that map to teams in external systems.
Data subscriptions Server-side change feeds that push matching documents to consumers Files Uploads attached to messages, retrievable for archiving.
