Why teams connect Cin7 and Navan

Keep Navan and Cin7 agreeing on customers, invoices, and balances, whether they split the finance workload or one is replacing the other.

A dedicated finance tool and an ERP end up side by side for practical reasons: a subsidiary runs lighter software than headquarters, billing runs in a specialist system while the enterprise system holds the wider view, or the company is mid-migration and both are live. Whatever the split, the two systems describe overlapping customers and transactions, and that overlap drifts without a live connection.

Stacksync syncs Users, Card Transactions, Connect Transactions, Manual Transactions in Navan with Stock adjustments and transfers, Credit notes / returns, Products, Inventory levels in Cin7 in real time and in both directions. You decide which system wins on which field, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Users and department mappings from an HRIS into reporting tables so every transaction is attributed to a cost center and manager.
  • 02 Sync Card Transactions and Manual Transactions into Postgres or a warehouse so finance analyzes corporate spend in SQL without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Keep customer records aligned between Cin7 and the CRM to remove duplicate account entry.
  • 04 Write purchase orders created in a planning tool back into Cin7 for receiving.

Common sync patterns

One customer and vendor master

Where both systems keep records of the same organizations, corrections made in either propagate to the other.

Subsidiary to headquarters

Where Navan serves a business unit and Cin7 is the group system, transactions and customer records roll up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.

Where Navan handles billing: invoices land in Cin7

Invoices and payment activity from the billing side post through to the enterprise system automatically.

How changes propagate between Cin7 and Navan

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 Navan Sub-second propagation

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

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

Navan Cin7 Sub-second propagation

DetectionNavan notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Navan's Expense API supports webhooks for transaction and expense events.

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.
  • Navan: Requests are throttled with HTTP 429 and Navan recommends retrying with exponential backoff; the Expense/Public API must first be enabled per account by Navan.
