Why teams connect Bill and Campfire

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

Bill holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Campfire 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 Payments, Chart of Accounts, Bank Accounts, Vendor Credits and Credit Memos in Bill and Intercompany Journal Entry, Chart of Accounts, Chart Transaction, Fixed Asset in Campfire in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Campfire keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Bill 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 Write Vendors created during ERP onboarding into BILL so new payees are ready to pay without manual re-entry.
  • 02 Read Payments and payment status into a reconciliation database once bills are marked paid in BILL.
  • 03 Send scheduled digest messages built from synced database queries.
  • 04 Post alerts into a room when records change in a synced system such as a CRM or an operational database.

Common sync patterns

Where Campfire handles customer conversations: billing context in view

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

Where Campfire collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Bill

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

Where Campfire 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.

What you can sync between Bill and Campfire

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.

Bill objects Campfire objects How this pairing syncs
Bills Accounts-payable amounts owed to vendors, with bill line items; read and created via /v3/bills and pulled incrementally by filtering on createdTime/updatedTime. Bill Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Invoices Accounts-receivable invoices sent to customers; created and read via /v3/invoices to keep billing status aligned with the ERP or CRM. Invoice Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. 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.
Chart of Accounts GL accounts used to code bills and invoices; typically mastered in the accounting system and written into BILL for consistent coding. Chart of Accounts Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Bank Accounts Funding and deposit accounts; read to reconcile payments and posted transactions against the ledger. Bank Account Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Vendors Payee master records; synced two-way with vendor/supplier tables in an ERP or accounting system so new payees don't have to be re-keyed. Fixed Asset Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Vendors is specific to Bill and Fixed Asset to Campfire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers AR customer master records; mapped to customer/account records in a CRM or ERP so finance and sales share one view. Fixed Asset Class Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Customers is specific to Bill and Fixed Asset Class to Campfire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bill and Campfire

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.

Bill Campfire Sub-second propagation

DetectionBill notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook event subscriptions (POST /v3/subscriptions) for bills, vendors, payments, invoices, and bank accounts, with polling on.

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

Campfire Bill Sub-second propagation

DetectionCampfire pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Near real-time updates via change tracking (incremental sync).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Bill: 20,000 requests per developer key per hour; login (POST /v3/login) capped at 200/hour; maximum 3 concurrent requests per developer key per organization. Spend & Expense API is a separate token at 60 calls/token/minute.
  • Campfire: Limits depend on the self-hosted deployment; confirm against the instance's documentation.
