Why teams connect Anaplan and Gatekeeper

Connect the financial records in Anaplan with the work happening in Gatekeeper, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.

Anaplan holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Gatekeeper is where part of the day-to-day work happens, and that work often involves the same customers and transactions. Without a live connection, the two drift apart, and people end up answering questions from stale copies.

Stacksync keeps List Items, Versions, Import and Export Actions, Processes in Anaplan and Contracts, Vendors (Suppliers), Files, Workflow form data in Gatekeeper in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Gatekeeper keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Anaplan is mapped field by field, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds.

There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push approved plan and target numbers from Anaplan back to the CRM or compensation systems.
  • 02 Keep dimension lists (products, cost centers, territories) aligned with master data systems of record.
  • 03 Stream workflow-form data - intake requests, vendor onboarding, risk assessments - into an operational database for cycle-time and compliance reporting.
  • 04 Write contract or vendor records into Gatekeeper when a deal closes in the CRM to kick off downstream procurement and legal workflows.

Common sync patterns

Where Gatekeeper tracks people or companies: one identity

A customer's details updated in either system update the other, so finance and the rest of the business stop maintaining two versions of the same customer.

Where Gatekeeper is a docs or knowledge workspace: reference data kept fresh

Figures teams rely on, like customer status or outstanding balances, stay current wherever Gatekeeper surfaces them instead of going stale after a one-time paste.

Where Gatekeeper handles customer conversations: billing context in view

Front-line teams see invoice and payment status from Anaplan next to the customer they are helping, without logging into the finance system.

What you can sync between Anaplan 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.

Anaplan objects Gatekeeper objects How this pairing syncs
Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. 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. Import and Export Actions is specific to Anaplan and Files to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Processes Ordered bundles of actions run as a unit during scheduled syncs. 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. Processes is specific to Anaplan and Workflow form data to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cell Data Individual intersections readable and writable through the transactional API. 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. Cell Data is specific to Anaplan and Custom data groups to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Models The planning workspaces that contain all data; syncs target a specific model. 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. Models is specific to Anaplan and Users to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Modules Multidimensional grids of line items where plan data lives; the main read/write surface. Categories The classification taxonomy applied to contracts and vendors (type, department, business unit); synced so categorization stays consistent between Gatekeeper and downstream reporting or ERP dimensions. Modules is specific to Anaplan and Categories to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Line Items The measures within a module, mapped to columns or metrics in syncs. 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. Line Items is specific to Anaplan and Contracts to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Anaplan 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.

Anaplan Gatekeeper Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Anaplan for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling and scheduled export actions.

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

Gatekeeper Anaplan 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 Anaplan through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Anaplan: Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions.
  • 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 Anaplan and Gatekeeper connectors work

Anaplan

Integration surface
REST APIs: a Bulk API that runs predefined import/export actions and a transactional API for model metadata and cell data
Authentication
Token-based sessions obtained via basic authentication, CA certificates, or OAuth 2.0 through Anaplan's authentication service
Change detection
Polling and scheduled export actions; the platform does not expose change events
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions

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.

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.
