Why teams connect Cin7 and Microsoft Power Bi

Put Cin7's records into Microsoft Power Bi as live data for reporting and dashboards, without nightly exports, and send the segments and metrics Microsoft Power Bi computes back where Cin7 can use them.

Microsoft Power Bi is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Cin7, so Cin7 always reflects the current state of Microsoft Power Bi — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

ERP data is some of the most requested data for analysis and some of the hardest to pull: the record types are many, the APIs are strict, and export jobs break on every upgrade. Whether Cin7 carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, those numbers belong in Microsoft Power Bi, next to the product, behavioral, and web data the team already measures.

Common use cases

  • 01 Pull Dataflow and Datasource definitions to document lineage between Power BI and its upstream warehouses in a governance database.
  • 02 Load dataset Refresh History into an operational database to alert on-call teams when scheduled refreshes fail or run long.
  • 03 Publish Cin7 inventory levels to storefronts, marketplaces, and a CRM so every channel quotes real availability.
  • 04 Sync sales orders from Cin7 into an accounting platform or warehouse for revenue and margin reporting.

Common sync patterns

Where Cin7 runs operations: inventory and fulfillment metrics

Operational records from Cin7 become measurable in Microsoft Power Bi, joinable with the rest of what the company tracks for supply and fulfillment reporting.

Where Cin7 is the HR system of record: workforce and cost analysis

Worker and organization data from Cin7 syncs into Microsoft Power Bi for headcount, cost, and utilization reporting alongside other company data.

Write-back where Cin7 exposes writable fields: segments and scores return

Segments, scores, or metrics computed in Microsoft Power Bi sync onto the matching records in Cin7, so operations act on what the analysis found.

What you can sync between Cin7 and Microsoft Power Bi

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.

Cin7 objects Microsoft Power Bi objects How this pairing syncs
Stock adjustments and transfers Inventory movements read for audit and reconciliation reporting. Dataflows Power Query ETL definitions read via GET /groups/{id}/dataflows; used to document lineage from upstream sources into datasets. Stock adjustments and transfers is specific to Cin7 and Dataflows to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Credit notes / returns Return documents synced so finance and support see the same refund state. Datasources and Gateways The connections behind datasets and dataflows and the on-premises gateways serving them, read via REST for lineage and dependency mapping. Credit notes / returns is specific to Cin7 and Datasources and Gateways to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products SKU records with options and pricing, synced with storefront and marketplace catalogs. Refresh History Dataset refresh runs read via GET /datasets/{id}/refreshes, including status, type, and timing, to alert on failed or slow scheduled refreshes. Products is specific to Cin7 and Refresh History to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory levels Stock on hand by branch or location, published outward for availability. Workspaces (Groups) Containers for content read via GET /groups (tenant-wide via GET /admin/groups); mirrored to reproduce the tenant's content hierarchy in a catalog. Inventory levels is specific to Cin7 and Workspaces (Groups) to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales orders Orders captured from all channels; the main object for fulfillment and revenue syncs. Activity Events (Audit Log) Admin audit log of user and content actions read via GET /admin/activityevents; loaded for security, access, and usage reporting across the tenant. Sales orders is specific to Cin7 and Activity Events (Audit Log) to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase orders Supplier orders synced with procurement and accounting workflows. Users and Access Workspace users and roles read via GET /groups/{id}/users or the admin scanner APIs; read for access reviews and identity reconciliation against an IdP. Purchase orders is specific to Cin7 and Users and Access to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cin7 and Microsoft Power Bi

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.

Cin7 Microsoft Power Bi Sub-second propagation

DetectionCin7 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on modified-date filters.

DeliveryMicrosoft Power Bi does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Microsoft Power Bi's output flows back as field updates on the originating Cin7 records.

Microsoft Power Bi Cin7 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Microsoft Power Bi for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Pull-based: no webhooks or change-data-capture.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Cin7 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Cin7: Subject to per-account API rate limits that differ between Cin7 Omni and Cin7 Core.
  • Microsoft Power Bi: Endpoints throttle per user and per app and return HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Execute Queries allows up to 120 requests per minute per user and caps a query at 100,000 rows (or 1,000,000 values) and 15 MB; admin scanner metadata APIs are limited to about 500 requests per hour with 16 concurrent.
