Why teams connect Bill and Pendo

Feed the customers, invoices, and revenue records in Bill into Pendo in real time, so dashboards and reports run on current numbers instead of last night's export.

Bill holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were invoiced, what they paid, and what revenue landed. Pendo is where that data is turned into dashboards, reports, and metrics, but it only reflects the world as of its last load. When the connection between them is a scheduled extract or a hand-built pipeline, analysis runs a step behind the books, and the numbers on a chart rarely match the numbers in the finance system.

Stacksync keeps Customers, Payments, Chart of Accounts, Bank Accounts in Bill in sync with Feature Events, Page Events, Guide Events, Poll / NPS Responses in Pendo, field by field and in real time. A customer, invoice, or amount created or corrected in Bill shows up in Pendo within seconds, mapped to the right record. Where Pendo keeps its own accounts or users, the flow runs both ways, so finance attributes can enrich what Pendo already tracks.

There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning's reporting running on yesterday's figures.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Customers and Invoices from BILL AR into a CRM or ERP so sales and finance see billing and payment status on the account.
  • 02 Write Vendors created during ERP onboarding into BILL so new payees are ready to pay without manual re-entry.
  • 03 Push warehouse-computed Account attributes (plan, ARR, renewal date, health score, CSM owner) onto Pendo Accounts via the Metadata API so segments and guide targeting stay current.
  • 04 Set custom Visitor fields (role, lifecycle stage, entitlement) from the warehouse so in-app guides reach the right users without manual CSV uploads.

Common sync patterns

One customer key across both

A customer or account in Bill is matched to the corresponding record in Pendo, so financial numbers join cleanly to whatever Pendo already reports on.

Revenue alongside the rest of the data

The amounts Bill records sit next to product, usage, or operational data in Pendo, so a single view combines what was billed with what actually happened.

Reports refresh as the books change

Instead of waiting for a scheduled load, Pendo updates the moment a figure moves in Bill, so a dashboard opened at any point in the day is current.

What you can sync between Bill and Pendo

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 Pendo 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. Guide Events Guide seen/advanced/dismissed and step events for in-app walkthroughs; read-only through the Aggregation API to measure onboarding flow adoption. Vendors is specific to Bill and Guide Events to Pendo — 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. Poll / NPS Responses Survey answers and NPS scores captured in-app (pollEvents / npsEvents); read-only via the Aggregation API as voice-of-customer data. Invoices is specific to Bill and Poll / NPS Responses to Pendo — 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. Features / Pages / Guides (metadata) Definitions of tagged UI elements listed through the entity endpoints; read-only reference used to label and join the event streams. Customers is specific to Bill and Features / Pages / Guides (metadata) to Pendo — 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. Visitors End-user records with agent-collected and custom fields; queried through the Aggregation API and enriched with custom fields written back via the Metadata API. Payments is specific to Bill and Visitors to Pendo — 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. Accounts Company/workspace records that roll visitors up to an account dimension; readable via Aggregation and a write target for custom fields (plan, ARR, health) via the Metadata API. Chart of Accounts is specific to Bill and Accounts to Pendo — 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. Feature Events Click/interaction events on tagged features, read-only through the Aggregation API over an event-time window and joined to the Feature definitions. Bank Accounts is specific to Bill and Feature Events to Pendo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bill and Pendo

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

Pendo Bill Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pendo for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows.

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.
  • Pendo: Pendo does not publish fixed numeric limits; it throttles heavy Aggregation queries with 429s and caps/paginates large responses, so wide exports are paced and time-windowed.

How the Bill and Pendo 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
Capabilities

Rate limits
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.

Pendo

Integration surface
Pendo Engage API (REST) on app.pendo.io (US) / app.eu.pendo.io (EU), base path /api/v1/ - Aggregation API for reads and the Metadata API for writes
Authentication
Integration key sent in the x-pendo-integration-key header, generated in Subscription Settings; keys are scoped read-only or read/write, so writes require a read/write key
Change detection
Polling - reads query the Aggregation API over event-time windows; no change-data-capture feed and no data-change webhooks. Writes go through the Metadata API on demand.
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Pendo does not publish fixed numeric limits; it throttles heavy Aggregation queries with 429s and caps/paginates large responses, so wide exports are paced and time-windowed.
