Why teams connect Cin7 and Tableau

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

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

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Databases, Tables, and Fields from the Metadata API to populate a data catalog with Tableau lineage and column definitions.
  • 02 Mirror the Projects and Workbooks content hierarchy into an internal catalog so teams discover dashboards from a central index.
  • 03 Consolidate stock movements from multiple branches into one reporting database.
  • 04 Publish Cin7 inventory levels to storefronts, marketplaces, and a CRM so every channel quotes real availability.

Common sync patterns

Where Cin7 runs order-to-cash: customer and account analytics

Orders, invoices, and account records from Cin7 join the behavioral and usage data Tableau already tracks, so customer analysis spans activity and dollars in one view.

Where Cin7 runs operations: inventory and fulfillment metrics

Operational records from Cin7 become measurable in Tableau, 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 Tableau for headcount, cost, and utilization reporting alongside other company data.

What you can sync between Cin7 and Tableau

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 Tableau objects How this pairing syncs
Sales orders Orders captured from all channels; the main object for fulfillment and revenue syncs. Workbooks Workbook content and metadata read via the REST and Metadata APIs; create, update, and delete events fire webhooks for change detection. Sales orders is specific to Cin7 and Workbooks to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase orders Supplier orders synced with procurement and accounting workflows. Views Worksheets and dashboards inside workbooks; their data and crosstab export as CSV via the REST query-view-data endpoint. Purchase orders is specific to Cin7 and Views to Tableau — 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. Projects Folders that organize content and set permissions; listed via REST to mirror the site's content hierarchy into a catalog. Contacts is specific to Cin7 and Projects to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Branches / locations Warehouse entities that scope every stock movement and order allocation. Users Site users with site roles and group membership; read via REST for access reviews and to reconcile identities against an HR or IdP source. Branches / locations is specific to Cin7 and Users to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stock adjustments and transfers Inventory movements read for audit and reconciliation reporting. Databases and Tables External assets indexed by Tableau Catalog; queried via the Metadata API GraphQL endpoint for lineage and impact analysis. Stock adjustments and transfers is specific to Cin7 and Databases and Tables to Tableau — 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. Extract Refresh Tasks Scheduled extract refreshes; status and history read via REST, with DatasourceRefreshSucceeded and Failed events delivered by webhooks. Credit notes / returns is specific to Cin7 and Extract Refresh Tasks to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cin7 and Tableau

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 Tableau Sub-second propagation

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

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

Tableau Cin7 Sub-second propagation

DetectionTableau notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire on workbook and data source create/update/delete and extract refresh 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.
  • Tableau: Tableau Cloud enforces per-site REST rate limits and returns HTTP 429; a PAT allows only one concurrent session and expires after 15 consecutive days of non-use.
