Why teams connect Campfire and PostgreSQL

Mirror Campfire's data into PostgreSQL so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Finance teams on Campfire connect PostgreSQL when they need accounting records available to internal tools and reporting queries. Syncing Campfire Invoices and Bank Transactions into PostgreSQL Tables gives engineering and analytics a queryable copy of the ledger without hitting the Campfire API directly.

Stacksync mirrors Chart Transaction, Fixed Asset, Fixed Asset Class, Bill from Campfire into Materialized Views, Schemas, Columns, Primary and Unique Keys in PostgreSQL and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Campfire, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Build internal finance dashboards on PostgreSQL Materialized Views over Campfire Invoice and Bank Transaction data.
  • 02 Join Campfire Debit Memo and Credit Memo records with application data in the same PostgreSQL Schema.
  • 03 Let backend services read Campfire Bank Account balances with SQL instead of API calls.
  • 04 Route inbound lead or form submissions into the right room via a bot.

Common sync patterns

Ledger mirror in Postgres

Campfire Bill, Invoice, and Credit Memo records land in PostgreSQL Tables kept current by the sync.

Bank activity for reconciliation queries

Campfire Bank Account and Bank Transaction data is queryable through PostgreSQL Views alongside other operational data.

Write-back from internal tools

updates made to synced rows in PostgreSQL propagate back to the corresponding Campfire Invoice or Bill.

What you can sync between Campfire and PostgreSQL

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.

Campfire objects PostgreSQL objects How this pairing syncs
Fixed Asset Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Custom Types and Enums Constrain synced values to a fixed set, mirroring picklist fields. Fixed Asset is specific to Campfire and Custom Types and Enums to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Fixed Asset Class Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in connected SaaS systems. Fixed Asset Class is specific to Campfire and Tables to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bill Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Views Read-side projections used to expose joined or filtered data to a sync. Bill is specific to Campfire and Views to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Debit Memo Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on a refresh schedule. Debit Memo is specific to Campfire and Materialized Views to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Invoice Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. Invoice is specific to Campfire and Schemas to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Credit Memo Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Columns Field-level mapping targets; types are mapped to the connected system's field types. Credit Memo is specific to Campfire and Columns to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Campfire and PostgreSQL

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.

Campfire PostgreSQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionCampfire pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Near real-time updates via change tracking (incremental sync).

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to PostgreSQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

PostgreSQL Campfire Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in PostgreSQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication (wal_level = logical) for change data capture via the "Postgres" connector.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Campfire through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Campfire: Limits depend on the self-hosted deployment; confirm against the instance's documentation.
  • PostgreSQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits, instance resources, and replication slot throughput.

How it works

How to connect Campfire to PostgreSQL — three steps, no code

Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.

  1. 01

    Connect your apps

    Authenticate Campfire and PostgreSQL with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
