Why teams connect Cin7 and Namely

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Cin7 and Namely share in real time, so the people Namely manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

Namely is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. Cin7 runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs Inventory levels, Sales orders, Purchase orders, Contacts in Cin7 with Reports, Profile Fields, Events, Profiles in Namely field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while Cin7 keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate stock movements from multiple branches into one reporting database.
  • 02 Publish Cin7 inventory levels to storefronts, marketplaces, and a CRM so every channel quotes real availability.
  • 03 Push Groups and Teams (departments, locations, team categories) into downstream apps to keep org structure and reporting lines aligned.
  • 04 Feed Namely Reports as JSON into a database on a schedule for roster, turnover, and diversity dashboards without manual CSV exports.

Common sync patterns

Where Namely is the worker system of record: one employee master

When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Namely, the matching employee record in Cin7 is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

New hires ready to transact in Cin7

A new person set up in Namely becomes an employee record in Cin7 in time to submit expenses, enter time, or approve a purchase, without waiting on manual setup.

One org structure

Departments, cost centers, and locations that both systems reference stay in agreement, so labor cost, approvals, and reporting in Cin7 roll up to the same structure Namely maintains.

What you can sync between Cin7 and Namely

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 Namely objects How this pairing syncs
Credit notes / returns Return documents synced so finance and support see the same refund state. Events Home-feed items such as announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, and new arrivals; typically read-only into comms tools. Credit notes / returns is specific to Cin7 and Events to Namely — 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. Profiles The core employee record (personal, job, contact, and compensation fields); synced two-way via GET/POST/PUT with updated_at driving incremental polling. Products is specific to Cin7 and Profiles to Namely — 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. Job Titles Job title definitions; read and written so titles stay aligned with an HRIS, directory, or reporting dimension. Inventory levels is specific to Cin7 and Job Titles to Namely — 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. Job Tiers Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables. Sales orders is specific to Cin7 and Job Tiers to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase orders Supplier orders synced with procurement and accounting workflows. Groups Departments and locations that organize Profiles; synced to keep org structure aligned with a warehouse or IdP. Purchase orders is specific to Cin7 and Groups to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Customers and suppliers, matched to CRM records to keep account data consistent. Teams Teams and team categories a Profile belongs to; read and written for org-chart and provisioning workflows. Contacts is specific to Cin7 and Teams to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cin7 and Namely

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 Namely Sub-second propagation

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

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

Namely Cin7 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Namely for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks.

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.
  • Namely: Namely's public docs do not publish a fixed request quota; the REST API returns standard HTTP status codes, so integrations should throttle and back off on 429/5xx responses.
