Why teams connect SendGrid and TiDB

Mirror SendGrid's data into TiDB 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 SendGrid 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 TiDB.

Stacksync mirrors Senders, Single Sends, Unsubscribe Groups, Email Activity from SendGrid into Views, Columns, Indexes, Sequences in TiDB 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 SendGrid, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Write bounces, spam reports, and unsubscribes back to the CRM to keep email opt-in status accurate everywhere
  • Stream Event Webhook engagement data into a Postgres database or warehouse for campaign and deliverability reporting
  • Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas
  • Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge

React to changes as they happen

Updates in SendGrid arrive as row changes in TiDB, 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.

Read SendGrid with a query

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

What you can sync between SendGrid and TiDB

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.

SendGrid objects TiDB objects
Contacts Marketing recipients upserted from CRM or database records, including custom field values. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward.
List Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system.
Segments Query-based contact groups whose membership SendGrid computes from contact fields. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient.
Categories Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows.
Senders Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client.
Single Sends One-off marketing campaigns whose stats are read back for reporting. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC.
What ships with SendGrid ⇄ TiDB

Connect SendGrid and TiDB for flexible, real-time data sync.

Real-time sync, workflow automation, event queues, EDI, and monitoring, for every SendGrid–TiDB connection.

Real-time

Two-way sync

Changes in SendGrid or TiDB instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.

No-code + pro-code

Workflow automation

Trigger automated workflows whenever SendGrid or TiDB data changes, update records, fire webhooks, or kick off sequences without brittle API scripts.

At scale

Event queues

Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single SendGrid or TiDB record.

Observability

Monitoring

Track your SendGrid ⇄ TiDB sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.

Trading partners

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between SendGrid and TiDB.

How the SendGrid and TiDB connectors work

SendGrid

Integration surface
REST API (v3)
Authentication
API key (create in SendGrid Settings > API Keys with Custom Access / Full Access for the objects to sync; key begins with "SG")
Change detection
Event Webhook posts delivery and engagement events (processed, delivered, open, click, bounce, spam report) to an HTTP endpoint; contact and list changes are detected by polling
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits; contact upserts are batched, asynchronous jobs rather than per-row writes
SendGrid setup guide

TiDB

Integration surface
MySQL wire protocol (SQL)
Authentication
Database credentials (MySQL-compatible username/password)
Change detection
Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks; polling also works
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas
How it works

How to connect SendGrid to TiDB — three steps, no code

Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.
