Autopilot to MySQL Integration

How Datrise loads Autopilot into MySQL

Datrise syncs Autopilot's contacts, journeys, lists, email events, triggers, and custom fields into MySQL as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in JSON columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as DATETIME/TIMESTAMP.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, so re-runs update only what changed. Optional RANGE partitioning by load date. MySQL collation matters for CRM text, so Datrise lands utf8mb4 to preserve emoji and non-Latin characters.

Ideal for operational reporting and app databases already standardized on MySQL.

Endpoints

Autopilot: Visual marketing automation and customer journeys.

MySQL: Widely used OSS relational engine (InnoDB).

FAQ

How does Datrise handle Autopilot's custom fields in MySQL?

Flexible values are stored as JSON columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native MySQL types.

How does the Autopilot to MySQL sync stay up to date?

It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE.
