Why teams connect Coupa and Insightly

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between Coupa and Insightly in real time, so sales sees the money and finance sees the relationship.

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Insightly knows the relationship: who the contacts are and what is in motion with the account. Coupa knows the money: what was invoiced, what was paid, what is overdue. When the two are connected only by exports, each side works partly blind.

Stacksync links Accounts, Contracts, Expense Reports, Requisitions in Coupa to Leads, Opportunities, Projects, Tasks in Insightly with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, updated billing details, invoice status, and payment activity move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. The result is one version of each customer, visible from both sides.

Common use cases

  • 01 Provision and update Users in Coupa from an HRIS or identity provider as employees join, change roles, or leave.
  • 02 Mirror Purchase Orders and their status into an operational Postgres database for spend reporting and three-way match analytics.
  • 03 Two-way sync of Insightly contacts and organizations with a marketing automation platform
  • 04 Replicate opportunities into Postgres or a warehouse so RevOps can report on pipeline with SQL

Common sync patterns

Billing detail changes flow back

When a contact or address is corrected in Insightly, Coupa gets the update before the next invoice goes out.

Collections with context

Finance sees the account owner and relationship history from Insightly when chasing a balance, and sales sees that the chase is happening.

Where Insightly tracks deals: closed-won creates the finance record

A won opportunity creates or updates the customer in Coupa with the right billing details, so invoicing starts without re-keying.
