Why teams connect Cin7 and Splunk

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

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 Splunk, next to the product, behavioral, and web data the team already measures.

Stacksync syncs Products, Inventory levels, Sales orders, Purchase orders from Cin7 into Splunk continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as it goes, so each record type arrives as Search Results, Saved Searches, Fired Alerts, KV Store Collections ready to report on. The connection is bi-directional, so segments, scores, and metrics computed in Splunk can be written back to fields in Cin7 where that is useful.

Common use cases

  • 01 Export Users and Roles into an IAM database for periodic access reviews, or provision them from an identity source of truth.
  • 02 Sync fired-alert history and saved-search definitions into Postgres so security and reliability teams query alert trends and detection coverage in SQL.
  • 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

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

Worker and organization data from Cin7 syncs into Splunk 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 Splunk sync onto the matching records in Cin7, so operations act on what the analysis found.

Where Cin7 holds the books: revenue and finance dashboards from live data

Financial records from Cin7 land in Splunk as they change, so revenue, margin, and spend dashboards read current figures rather than last night's export.

What you can sync between Cin7 and Splunk

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 Splunk objects How this pairing syncs
Contacts Customers and suppliers, matched to CRM records to keep account data consistent. Fired Alerts Triggered alert instances listed at /services/alerts/fired_alerts; alert configuration (conditions, schedule, actions) lives on the corresponding saved search. Landed in a database for alert-trend and detection-coverage reporting. Contacts is specific to Cin7 and Fired Alerts to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Branches / locations Warehouse entities that scope every stock movement and order allocation. KV Store Collections App-scoped, MongoDB-backed key-value collections at /servicesNS/{owner}/{app}/storage/collections/data/{collection} with full CRUD and batch endpoints. Genuinely bidirectional lookup/state store — read records out or write records in. Branches / locations is specific to Cin7 and KV Store Collections to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stock adjustments and transfers Inventory movements read for audit and reconciliation reporting. Indexes Index inventory and settings (retention, max size, event counts) via /services/data/indexes, with create and edit; loaded into a database for capacity, retention, and data-onboarding tracking. Stock adjustments and transfers is specific to Cin7 and Indexes to Splunk — 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. HTTP Event Collector The write-in path: POST events and metrics to /services/collector (port 8088, or 443 on Splunk Cloud) authenticated with a per-input HEC token, so external records are indexed alongside logs for search and correlation. Credit notes / returns is specific to Cin7 and HTTP Event Collector to Splunk — 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. Users and Roles Accounts at /services/authentication/users and role/capability definitions at /services/authorization/roles, with full CRUD; exported for access reviews or provisioned from an identity source of truth. Products is specific to Cin7 and Users and Roles to Splunk — 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. Dashboards Simple XML dashboard and view definitions at /servicesNS/{owner}/{app}/data/ui/views; exported for backup and audit, or created and updated programmatically from version control. Inventory levels is specific to Cin7 and Dashboards to Splunk — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cin7 and Splunk

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 Splunk Sub-second propagation

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

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

Splunk Cin7 Sub-second propagation

DetectionSplunk notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Time-range searches over indexed events (earliest/latest on _time or _indextime).

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.
  • Splunk: The management REST API throttles through search-concurrency quotas — max concurrent searches per user and role, plus per-CPU historical search limits in limits.conf — rather than a fixed per-request rate; exceeding quota queues or blocks jobs. HEC has per-token and per-instance throughput limits, and Splunk Cloud adds ingestion and API limits on top.

API key credentials (paired with a username or account ID, depending on the product)

Rate limits

Splunk

Integration surface
REST API (management API + HTTP Event Collector)
Authentication
HTTP Basic (username/password), or a session key from POST /services/auth/login sent as Authorization: Splunk <key>, or a bearer authentication token (Authorization: Bearer <token>). The HTTP Event Collector uses its own per-input token (Authorization: Splunk <hec-token>). Management API defaults to port 8089; HEC to port 8088 (443 on Splunk Cloud).
Change detection
Time-range searches over indexed events (earliest/latest on _time or _indextime); events are immutable once indexed, so incremental extraction advances a time cursor rather than a modified-date CDC feed. Config objects such as saved searches and KV Store are polled; alerts can push via a saved-search webhook action.
