Why teams connect Bill and Okta
Keep the people who can act on financial records in Bill matched to their identities in Okta, so access is provisioned, updated, and revoked in real time.
Bill runs the money — the ledgers, invoices, budgets, and payments — and every one of those actions is taken by a person with a login. Okta 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 Payments, Chart of Accounts, Bank Accounts, Vendor Credits and Credit Memos in Bill aligned with Factors (Authenticators), Policies, System Log, Devices in Okta, 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 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 Mirror the System Log into Postgres or a warehouse for security analytics, access reviews, and audit retention beyond Okta's log window.
- 04 Read Application assignments and Factors into a database to report on who can reach which app and which users have strong MFA enrolled.
Common sync patterns
One user roster across both systems
People, their status, and their contact details stay matched between Bill and Okta, so the finance system's login list reflects who actually works here instead of drifting out of date.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 Okta maps to their permission set in Bill, so who can approve, post, or view is governed from one place instead of maintained twice.
Access reviews backed by live data
Because the user list in Bill matches the identity source in Okta in real time, access certifications and SOX-style reviews start from current membership rather than a stale spreadsheet.
What you can sync between Bill and Okta
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 | Okta objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | Users Universal Directory user records with profile attributes, credentials, and lifecycle status (staged, active, suspended, deprovisioned); full CRUD, so users are created, updated, activated, and deactivated to match an HR or identity source. | Vendors is specific to Bill and Users to Okta — 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. | Groups Okta groups (OKTA_GROUP, APP_GROUP, BUILT_IN) and their memberships; OKTA_GROUP records and membership are written to drive app and resource access. | Invoices is specific to Bill and Groups to Okta — 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. | Applications App integrations (SAML, OIDC, SWA) with per-user and per-group assignments; read and updated to manage which identities can reach each downstream app. | Customers is specific to Bill and Applications to Okta — 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. | Group Rules Dynamic rules that add users to groups from profile attributes; read and written to automate access based on department, title, or location. | Payments is specific to Bill and Group Rules to Okta — 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. | Factors (Authenticators) MFA enrollments per user (Okta Verify, WebAuthn, SMS, email); read for security-posture reporting and reset when a device is lost or rotated. | Chart of Accounts is specific to Bill and Factors (Authenticators) to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Bank Accounts Funding and deposit accounts; read to reconcile payments and posted transactions against the ledger. | Policies Sign-on, password, and authenticator-enrollment policies with their rules; read to audit access controls or updated to manage them centrally. | Bank Accounts is specific to Bill and Policies to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Bill and Okta
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 Okta 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 Okta through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Okta Bill Sub-second propagation
DetectionOkta notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time.
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.
- Okta: Rate limits are enforced per org, per endpoint group, per minute and vary by Okta edition; responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Limit, X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and X-Rate-Limit-Reset headers and exceeding one returns HTTP 429. The System Log is more tightly limited (about 120 requests/minute) and a separate concurrent-request cap (default 75 in-flight transactions) also applies.

How the Bill and Okta connectors work
Bill
- Integration surface
- REST/JSON (BILL v3 Connect API)
- Authentication
- Session-based: POST /v3/login with username, password, organizationId, and a developer key (devKey) returns a sessionId that is passed with the devKey as headers on every subsequent call; OAuth is available for partner/embedded apps
- Change detection
- Webhook event subscriptions (POST /v3/subscriptions) for bills, vendors, payments, invoices, and bank accounts, with polling on createdTime/updatedTime list filters as the fallback

Okta
- Integration surface
- REST API (Okta Management API, /api/v1) with Event Hooks for outbound events and the System Log API as the change feed
- Authentication
- SSWS API tokens (Authorization: SSWS {token}) scoped to the creating admin's permissions, or OAuth 2.0 for Okta service apps using a private-key-JWT client-credentials grant with granular scopes (DPoP supported)
- Change detection
- Event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time verification handshake); the System Log API (/api/v1/logs) is polled by the since parameter and the next Link header for a near-real-time change feed
