Why teams connect Atlassian and Navan

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

Navan holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Atlassian 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 Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments, Users, Card Transactions, Connect Transactions in Navan and Workflows and Statuses, Users and Groups, Confluence Pages, Confluence Spaces in Atlassian in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Atlassian keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Navan 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 Sync Users and department mappings from an HRIS into reporting tables so every transaction is attributed to a cost center and manager.
  • 02 Sync Card Transactions and Manual Transactions into Postgres or a warehouse so finance analyzes corporate spend in SQL without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Create Jira issues from records in other systems, such as onboarding tasks generated from a closed-won CRM deal.
  • 04 Keep Jira and a second tracker (for example a customer's Jira instance) aligned during co-delivery projects.

Common sync patterns

Where Atlassian 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 Atlassian handles customer conversations: billing context in view

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

Where Atlassian collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Navan

Payment and charge activity flows into Navan as it happens, so the books reflect reality without manual reconciliation.

What you can sync between Atlassian and Navan

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.

Atlassian objects Navan objects How this pairing syncs
Custom Fields Instance-specific fields (customfield IDs) that carry most business-specific data in syncs. Custom Fields Company metadata such as cost centers and project codes; discovered via GET and their option lists created or updated via async POST. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Attachments Files on issues mirrored to paired records where needed. Receipts Receipt images tied to each transaction; fetched read-only through presigned URLs for archival in a warehouse or document store. Attachments is specific to Atlassian and Receipts to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workflows and Statuses Status transitions mapped to stages in the paired system. Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments Money-movement records including repayments, FX and platform fees, and credit or debit memos; read-only for reconciliation ledgers. Workflows and Statuses is specific to Atlassian and Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users and Groups Assignees and reporters matched to identities in other tools. Users Employee and cardholder records referenced by every transaction; usually provisioned from an HRIS and used to map spend to people and departments. Users and Groups is specific to Atlassian and Users to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Confluence Pages Documentation content readable and writable through the Confluence REST API. Card Transactions Navan physical and virtual card spend; read via GET, then GL codes, cost centers, and ERP sync status are written back per transaction through the transaction update endpoint. Confluence Pages is specific to Atlassian and Card Transactions to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Confluence Spaces Namespaces that scope page syncs and permissions. Connect Transactions External and personal card feed matched into Navan; retrieved read-only and coded with custom-field values through the transaction update endpoint. Confluence Spaces is specific to Atlassian and Connect Transactions to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Atlassian and Navan

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.

Atlassian Navan Sub-second propagation

DetectionAtlassian notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks on issue and page events, plus JQL polling on the updated timestamp for backfill.

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

Navan Atlassian Sub-second propagation

DetectionNavan notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Navan's Expense API supports webhooks for transaction and expense events.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Navan: Requests are throttled with HTTP 429 and Navan recommends retrying with exponential backoff; the Expense/Public API must first be enabled per account by Navan.
