Merge to MySQL Integration
AI-first ETL from Merge into MySQL. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads Merge into MySQL
Datrise syncs Merge's linked accounts, employees, candidates, contacts, invoices, and sync statuses 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
Merge: Unified API across HR, CRM, and accounting tools.
MySQL: Widely used OSS relational engine (InnoDB).
How Merge entities map to MySQL
| Merge entity | MySQL object | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| linked accounts | merge_linked_accounts | id PK · custom fields → JSON columns |
| employees | merge_employees | id PK · linked to merge_linked_accounts |
| candidates | merge_candidates | id PK · linked to merge_linked_accounts |
| contacts | merge_contacts | id PK · linked to merge_linked_accounts |
FAQ
How does Datrise handle Merge'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 Merge to MySQL sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE.
