Why teams connect Airtable and Gatekeeper

Mirror Gatekeeper's data into Airtable 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 Gatekeeper 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 Airtable.

Stacksync mirrors Files, Workflow form data, Custom data groups, Users from Gatekeeper into Attachments, Collaborators, Bases, Tables in Airtable 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 Gatekeeper, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write contract or vendor records into Gatekeeper when a deal closes in the CRM to kick off downstream procurement and legal workflows.
  • 02 Two-way sync Contracts between Gatekeeper and an ERP or warehouse so value, renewal dates, owner, and status stay current without manual re-keying.
  • 03 Sync form-submitted records from Airtable into downstream systems like a helpdesk or marketing platform.
  • 04 Push CRM accounts and deals into an Airtable base so operations teams can manage pipelines and enrichment without CRM licenses.

Common sync patterns

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 Gatekeeper with a query

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

Automate Gatekeeper from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Airtable and Stacksync propagates the change into Gatekeeper, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Airtable and Gatekeeper

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.

Airtable objects Gatekeeper objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Map to sync tables; schema is readable through the base metadata endpoints. Contracts The core contract records holding value, key dates, renewal terms, status, type, owner, and the linked vendor; created, read, updated, and deleted so contract data moves two-way between Gatekeeper and a database, ERP, or CRM. Tables is specific to Airtable and Contracts to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Records The row-level unit created, updated, and deleted during syncs, identified by rec-prefixed IDs. Vendors (Suppliers) Company records for counterparties and suppliers with onboarding status, compliance, risk, contacts, and spend; read and written to keep vendor master data aligned with a CRM or ERP. Records is specific to Airtable and Vendors (Suppliers) to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Fields Typed columns including linked records, lookups, and rollups; computed fields are read-only in syncs. Files Document files attached to contracts and vendors - executed PDFs, certificates, and compliance evidence; read to pull signed files and evidence out, or written to push generated documents in. Fields is specific to Airtable and Files to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Filtered subsets of a table that can scope which records a sync reads. Workflow form data The structured data captured on Gatekeeper workflow forms (intake requests, vendor onboarding, risk assessments); exposed by the API since 2025 so form results sync into an operational database, not only contract and vendor records. Views is specific to Airtable and Workflow form data to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Linked records Cross-table references that carry relationships between synced tables. Custom data groups Customer-configured custom fields and data groups; because the JSON:API and its docs are dynamic, any custom data added in Configuration exposes the same read/write endpoints as the standard objects and syncs the same way. Linked records is specific to Airtable and Custom data groups to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attachments File fields exposed as expiring URLs that syncs can mirror to other systems. Users Gatekeeper user and team records governed by role-based access; read to map contract and vendor owners, approvers, and internal contacts to CRM or HR records. Attachments is specific to Airtable and Users to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Airtable and Gatekeeper

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.

Airtable Gatekeeper Sub-second propagation

DetectionAirtable pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks).

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

Gatekeeper Airtable Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gatekeeper for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No native developer webhook subscription API and no database change-data-capture log.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Airtable: The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.
  • Gatekeeper: Gatekeeper publishes no fixed public per-minute request quota; throughput is governed per key by its endpoint permissions, and every call is recorded (parameters, payload, response) under API Logs for monitoring. Pace bulk writes and use JSON:API pagination on list endpoints.

How the Airtable and Gatekeeper connectors work

Airtable

Integration surface
REST API (per-base Web API plus metadata and webhooks endpoints)
Authentication
OAuth (Airtable OAuth grant to specific bases or all resources); the authorizing user must have a `creator` role, since only creator roles can create webhooks
Change detection
Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks); formula fields don't emit change events and are re-synced every hour
Capabilities
read · write · CDC · webhooks
Rate limits
The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.
Airtable setup guide

Gatekeeper

Integration surface
RESTful API following the JSON:API specification, tenant-scoped with interactive docs at {tenant}.gatekeeperhq.com/api_docs and a published Postman collection. The API is dynamic: it exposes the standard Contract and Vendor objects plus any custom data groups and workflow-form data configured in the tenant.
Authentication
API keys created and managed under Configuration > API Keys and passed as a token; each key carries granular per-endpoint permissions set to read-only or write, so access is scoped per object. Multiple keys can be issued and revoked independently.
Change detection
No native developer webhook subscription API and no database change-data-capture log; detect changes by polling the JSON:API list endpoints filtered and sorted on updated-at timestamps. Gatekeeper's own event automation - Workflow Engine phase transitions and Interconnect process orchestration - runs inside the platform rather than as a subscribable webhook stream.
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Gatekeeper publishes no fixed public per-minute request quota; throughput is governed per key by its endpoint permissions, and every call is recorded (parameters, payload, response) under API Logs for monitoring. Pace bulk writes and use JSON:API pagination on list endpoints.
