Why teams connect Affinity and Recurly

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between Recurly and Affinity in real time, so sales sees the money and finance sees the relationship.

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Affinity knows the relationship: who the contacts are and what is in motion with the account. Recurly knows the money: what was invoiced, what was paid, what is overdue. When the two are connected only by exports, each side works partly blind.

Stacksync links Measured Units and Usage, Accounts, Subscriptions, Plans in Recurly to Organizations, Opportunities, Field Values, Notes in Affinity with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, updated billing details, invoice status, and payment activity move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. The result is one version of each customer, visible from both sides.

Common use cases

  • 01 Trigger revenue-recognition or ERP entries when new_subscription and canceled_subscription webhooks fire.
  • 02 Post usage records to Measured Units on metered Subscriptions from a metering database before each bill run.
  • 03 Mirror deal-flow lists into a warehouse or BI tool for pipeline and portfolio reporting.
  • 04 Push enrichment data computed elsewhere into Affinity field values on list entries.

Common sync patterns

Payment status on the account

Invoice and payment status from Recurly appears on the account in Affinity, so reps see overdue balances before they promise the next order.

Billing detail changes flow back

When a contact or address is corrected in Affinity, Recurly gets the update before the next invoice goes out.

Collections with context

Finance sees the account owner and relationship history from Affinity when chasing a balance, and sales sees that the chase is happening.

How changes propagate between Affinity and Recurly

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Affinity Recurly Sub-second propagation

DetectionAffinity notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, supplemented by polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Recurly through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Recurly Affinity Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Affinity through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Affinity: Subject to the platform's published API rate limits.
  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
