Why teams connect Azure Active Directory and Chargebee

Keep the people who can act on financial records in Chargebee matched to their identities in Azure Active Directory, so access is provisioned, updated, and revoked in real time.

Chargebee runs the money — the ledgers, invoices, budgets, and payments — and every one of those actions is taken by a person with a login. Azure Active Directory is where those people and their access actually live: who is employed, what team they belong to, and what they are allowed to do. The two systems rarely share customers or transactions, but they share the one thing that governs both — the user. When that overlap is maintained by hand, a departed employee keeps finance access for weeks and a new hire waits on a ticket to get any.

Stacksync keeps Items and item prices, Payment sources, Transactions, Coupons in Chargebee aligned with Group memberships, Applications, Service principals, Directory roles in Azure Active Directory, field by field and in real time. A person added, moved, or deactivated on the identity side updates their matching user in the finance system within seconds, with the role or permission set mapped from the group they belong to. Direction is yours to set: lead provisioning from the directory, or let an HR-owned finance record drive the downstream accounts.

For a finance team, that alignment is an audit control rather than a convenience. When the user list in the books matches the identity source of truth, segregation-of-duties and access reviews start from data that is already correct instead of an export that was current last quarter.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync subscription status, plan, and MRR-relevant fields into the CRM so sales and success see billing state on the account.
  • 02 Push invoices and credit notes into an accounting system or warehouse for revenue reporting.
  • 03 Replicate Groups and their Members into a Postgres warehouse for access reviews and entitlement reporting.
  • 04 Mirror Applications and Service principals into a database or CMDB to track app ownership and credential expiry.

Common sync patterns

Where Azure Active Directory is the identity source: offboarding reaches the books

When a person is deactivated in Azure Active Directory, their matching user in Chargebee is disabled in the same motion, so departed employees keep no standing access to financial records.

One user roster across both systems

People, their status, and their contact details stay matched between Chargebee and Azure Active Directory, so the finance system's login list reflects who actually works here instead of drifting out of date.

Group and role membership drives finance permissions

A person's group or role in Azure Active Directory maps to their permission set in Chargebee, so who can approve, post, or view is governed from one place instead of maintained twice.

What you can sync between Azure Active Directory and Chargebee

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.

Azure Active Directory objects Chargebee objects How this pairing syncs
Directory roles /directoryRoles and roleManagement assignments; read for privileged-access reviews, with role-assignment writes where the granted scopes permit. Payment sources Stored payment methods; usually read-only metadata in syncs for compliance reasons. Directory roles is specific to Azure Active Directory and Payment sources to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Devices /devices registered or joined to the tenant; typically read-only into asset and security databases. Transactions Payment attempts and outcomes synced for dunning and finance workflows. Devices is specific to Azure Active Directory and Transactions to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users /users in Microsoft Graph; synced two-way — profile attributes, accountEnabled, and assignedLicenses are read out while provisioning writes (create, update, disable, delete) are pushed back. Coupons Discount definitions and redemptions used in deal-desk and reporting syncs. Users is specific to Azure Active Directory and Coupons to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups /groups covering security and Microsoft 365 groups; created, updated, and deleted through Graph, and read into warehouses for entitlement reporting. Events The change log resource that records every state change for incremental sync. Groups is specific to Azure Active Directory and Events to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Group memberships Member and owner relationships on /groups/{id}/members; added and removed via the $ref endpoint and tracked for changes with delta query on $select=members. Customers Billing accounts matched to CRM accounts or users by email or external ID. Group memberships is specific to Azure Active Directory and Customers to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Applications App registrations under /applications; usually read into a database or CMDB for app ownership and credential-expiry tracking. Subscriptions Recurring billing state (plan, term, status) synced to CRM and product databases. Applications is specific to Azure Active Directory and Subscriptions to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Active Directory and Chargebee

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.

Azure Active Directory Chargebee Sub-second propagation

DetectionAzure Active Directory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Microsoft Graph delta query (deltaLink tokens returning only changed users and groups, with @removed deletions) paired with change-notification.

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

Chargebee Azure Active Directory Sub-second propagation

DetectionChargebee notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for all major object events, plus a pollable Events resource that records every change.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Azure Active Directory: Resource-unit throttling: roughly 8,000 ResourceUnits per 10 seconds per app for reads on tenants over 500 users, writes near 3,000 requests per 2.5 minutes; 429 responses include a Retry-After header.
  • Chargebee: Subject to plan-based API rate limits enforced per site.
