Why teams connect Cloudera Data Platform and Navan

Land the financial records from Navan in Cloudera Data Platform continuously, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Finance data belongs in the warehouse: revenue, invoices, payments, and customers joined with everything else the business measures. Getting it there usually means an extraction pipeline that breaks quietly and delivers yesterday's numbers.

Stacksync syncs Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments, Users, Card Transactions, Connect Transactions from Navan into tables in Cloudera Data Platform in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Cloudera Data Platform can be written back to fields in Navan where you want them operational. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than code you maintain.

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 Sync curated CDP tables into an operational Postgres so applications query a low-latency copy instead of hitting the cluster.
  • 04 Publish CRM or ERP records into CDP so enterprise analytics runs alongside existing data lake workloads.

Common sync patterns

Finance analytics without ETL

Invoices, payments, and customer records from Navan arrive in Cloudera Data Platform as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

Revenue joined with everything else

Analysts combine Navan's financial records with product, marketing, or operational data already in Cloudera Data Platform for reporting the finance system cannot do alone.

Write-back of computed fields

Scores or segments computed in Cloudera Data Platform, like payment-risk flags or customer tiers, sync back onto records in Navan where the finance team can act on them.

What you can sync between Cloudera Data Platform and Navan

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.

Cloudera Data Platform objects Navan objects How this pairing syncs
Iceberg tables Open table format tables in newer CDP versions, with snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments Money-movement records including repayments, FX and platform fees, and credit or debit memos; read-only for reconciliation ledgers. Iceberg tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views SQL views that can present curated, sync-ready projections of raw lake data. Users Employee and cardholder records referenced by every transaction; usually provisioned from an HRIS and used to map spend to people and departments. Views is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Users to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Partitions Table partitions (often by date) that incremental extraction jobs use to scope reads. Card Transactions Navan physical and virtual card spend; read via GET, then GL codes, cost centers, and ERP sync status are written back per transaction through the transaction update endpoint. Partitions is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Card Transactions to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object store / HDFS files Underlying Parquet or ORC files on HDFS or cloud storage backing the tables. Connect Transactions External and personal card feed matched into Navan; retrieved read-only and coded with custom-field values through the transaction update endpoint. Object store / HDFS files is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Connect Transactions to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical namespaces in the shared Hive Metastore that group tables for access control and syncs. Manual Transactions Out-of-pocket reimbursements and payroll submissions; synced for approval and reimbursement, then GL-coded back into Navan. Databases is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Manual Transactions to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Hive tables Warehouse tables queried over JDBC/ODBC; classic managed tables are append-oriented. Bookings Flight, hotel, rail, and car reservations from the Booking API; pulled read-only by createdFrom/createdTo date range for trip and travel-spend reporting. Hive tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Bookings to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cloudera Data Platform 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.

Cloudera Data Platform Navan Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Cloudera Data Platform for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via SQL on timestamp or partition columns.

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

Navan Cloudera Data Platform 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 applied to Cloudera Data Platform as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Cloudera Data Platform: Constrained by cluster capacity and admission control rather than API rate limits.
  • 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.

How the Cloudera Data Platform and Navan connectors work

Cloudera Data Platform

Integration surface
JDBC/ODBC over Hive and Impala SQL endpoints, plus REST management APIs
Authentication
Kerberos, LDAP, or workload user credentials, often brokered through the Knox gateway
Change detection
Polling via SQL on timestamp or partition columns; no consumer-facing change feed
Capabilities

Rate limits
Constrained by cluster capacity and admission control rather than API rate limits

Navan

Integration surface
REST (Expense API and Booking API)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client-credentials flow; an admin creates a client_id and client_secret under Settings > Integrations and exchanges them at Navan's OAuth token endpoint for a short-lived bearer token that is refreshed on expiry (separate US and EU regional hosts)
Change detection
Navan's Expense API supports webhooks for transaction and expense events; sync engines also poll GET endpoints with date-range and updatedAt filters (createdFrom/createdTo for bookings) to backfill history and reconcile. There is no database-level CDC.
Capabilities

Rate limits
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.
