Why teams connect Bill and RavenDB

Work with Bill's financial data straight from RavenDB: 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 Vendor Credits and Credit Memos, Bills, Vendors, Invoices from Bill into Indexes, Attachments, Revisions, Counters in RavenDB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against RavenDB, 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 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 Stream RavenDB document changes into Postgres or a warehouse via data subscriptions for SQL analytics.
  • 04 Sync operational documents such as orders and profiles between RavenDB and a CRM so business teams see application data.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools without API plumbing

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

Write back safely

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

React to financial events

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

What you can sync between Bill and RavenDB

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 RavenDB objects How this pairing syncs
Invoices Accounts-receivable invoices sent to customers; created and read via /v3/invoices to keep billing status aligned with the ERP or CRM. Counters Numeric values attached to documents that change independently of the document body Invoices is specific to Bill and Counters to RavenDB — 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. Time series Timestamped measurements stored per document, synced for metrics analysis Customers is specific to Bill and Time series to RavenDB — 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. Data subscriptions Server-side change feeds that push matching documents to consumers Payments is specific to Bill and Data subscriptions to RavenDB — 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. Documents JSON records, the primary unit read and written during sync Chart of Accounts is specific to Bill and Documents to RavenDB — 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. Collections Groupings of documents by type, mapped to tables in relational targets Bank Accounts is specific to Bill and Collections to RavenDB — 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. Indexes Static and auto indexes used to query documents for filtered reads Vendor Credits and Credit Memos is specific to Bill and Indexes to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bill and RavenDB

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

RavenDB Bill Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in RavenDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Data subscriptions and the Changes API provide server-pushed change feeds.

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.
  • RavenDB: Throughput bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas.
