Why teams connect Bill and OpenSearch

Work with Bill's financial data straight from OpenSearch: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Chart of Accounts, Bank Accounts, Vendor Credits and Credit Memos, Bills from Bill into Data streams, Snapshots, Indexes, Documents in OpenSearch and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against OpenSearch, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Bill with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

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 Stream CRM records such as accounts, contacts, and tickets into OpenSearch to power internal search across customer data.
  • 04 Sync product catalogs from an ERP or database into the indexes that back storefront search.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on OpenSearch; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Bill.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in OpenSearch propagate into Bill, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Bill appear in OpenSearch as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

What you can sync between Bill and OpenSearch

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 OpenSearch objects How this pairing syncs
Bank Accounts Funding and deposit accounts; read to reconcile payments and posted transactions against the ledger. Index aliases Stable names over rotating indexes, used for zero-downtime reindex during backfills Bank Accounts is specific to Bill and Index aliases to OpenSearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vendor Credits and Credit Memos AP and AR adjustments applied against bills and invoices; synced so balances stay accurate on both sides. Index templates Mapping and settings presets applied to new indexes a sync creates Vendor Credits and Credit Memos is specific to Bill and Index templates to OpenSearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Ingest pipelines Server-side processors that transform documents as they are written Bills is specific to Bill and Ingest pipelines to OpenSearch — 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. Data streams Append-oriented time-series storage for logs and events pushed from source systems Vendors is specific to Bill and Data streams to OpenSearch — 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. Snapshots Backup artifacts, relevant when reseeding an index from a repository Invoices is specific to Bill and Snapshots to OpenSearch — 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. Indexes The core container; synced records land in indexes with defined mappings Customers is specific to Bill and Indexes to OpenSearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bill and OpenSearch

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 OpenSearch 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 OpenSearch through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

OpenSearch Bill Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls OpenSearch for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No native change feed.

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.
  • OpenSearch: Throughput bounded by cluster sizing rather than fixed API quotas.
