Why teams connect Bill and ClickHouse

Land the financial records from Bill in ClickHouse continuously, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Finance data belongs in the warehouse: revenue, invoices, payments, and customers joined with everything else the business measures. Getting it there usually means an extraction pipeline that breaks quietly and delivers yesterday's numbers.

Stacksync syncs Vendor Credits and Credit Memos, Bills, Vendors, Invoices from Bill into tables in ClickHouse in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in ClickHouse can be written back to fields in Bill where you want them operational. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than code you maintain.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Payments and payment status into a reconciliation database once bills are marked paid in BILL.
  • 02 Read approved Bills and their line items into a Postgres warehouse for spend, accrual, and cash-flow reporting without CSV exports.
  • 03 Sync aggregated ClickHouse query results back into operational tools, such as account-level usage metrics into a CRM.
  • 04 Consolidate logs and business records from multiple sources into MergeTree tables for retention and reporting.

Common sync patterns

Revenue joined with everything else

Analysts combine Bill's financial records with product, marketing, or operational data already in ClickHouse for reporting the finance system cannot do alone.

Write-back of computed fields

Scores or segments computed in ClickHouse, like payment-risk flags or customer tiers, sync back onto records in Bill where the finance team can act on them.

Queryable history for audit and reconciliation

A continuously synced copy in ClickHouse gives you a durable, queryable record of financial data for month-end and audit questions.

What you can sync between Bill and ClickHouse

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 ClickHouse 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. Tables (MergeTree family) Columnar, append-optimized tables that serve as the destination for high-volume sync loads. Bills is specific to Bill and Tables (MergeTree family) to ClickHouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Databases Namespaces that group tables and scope permissions for sync users. Vendors is specific to Bill and Databases to ClickHouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Invoices Accounts-receivable invoices sent to customers; created and read via /v3/invoices to keep billing status aligned with the ERP or CRM. Views Saved queries used as curated, read-only sync sources. Invoices is specific to Bill and Views to ClickHouse — 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. Materialized views Insert-time transformations that reshape incoming synced rows into aggregates. Customers is specific to Bill and Materialized views to ClickHouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Payments Outgoing vendor payments and received customer payments; read for reconciliation and created to schedule bill pay. Distributed tables Query-routing tables over cluster shards in self-managed deployments. Payments is specific to Bill and Distributed tables to ClickHouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Chart of Accounts GL accounts used to code bills and invoices; typically mastered in the accounting system and written into BILL for consistent coding. Dictionaries In-memory lookup structures refreshed from external sources, sometimes fed by syncs. Chart of Accounts is specific to Bill and Dictionaries to ClickHouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bill and ClickHouse

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 ClickHouse 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 applied to ClickHouse as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

ClickHouse Bill Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls ClickHouse for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No log-based CDC for consumers.

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.
