Why teams connect Elasticsearch and Ramp

Work with Ramp's financial data straight from Elasticsearch: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors General Ledger Accounts, Transactions, Cards, Users from Ramp into Index mappings, Aliases, Data streams, Ingest pipelines in Elasticsearch and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Elasticsearch, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Ramp with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Reimbursements into a finance database for cross-entity expense reporting and reconciliation without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Two-way sync Transactions and their accounting codings with a Postgres warehouse so finance analyzes spend in SQL and pushes GL categories and memos back to Ramp.
  • 03 Feed enriched customer records into an index used for vector or hybrid search in AI applications.
  • 04 Sync CRM accounts and contacts into an Elasticsearch index to power internal search across customer records.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Elasticsearch; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Ramp.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Elasticsearch propagate into Ramp, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Ramp appear in Elasticsearch as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

What you can sync between Elasticsearch and Ramp

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.

Elasticsearch objects Ramp objects How this pairing syncs
Ingest pipelines Server-side transforms applied to documents as a sync writes them. Vendors Supplier records under the accounting namespace; uploaded and updated for AP matching and payments. Ingest pipelines is specific to Elasticsearch and Vendors to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Index templates Reusable settings and mappings applied automatically to new indices a sync creates. Funds (Spend Controls) Spend controls governing card usage; read and created via the funds API to enforce budgets per user, department, or program. Index templates is specific to Elasticsearch and Funds (Spend Controls) to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indices Target containers for synced records; each holds a table-like collection of JSON documents. General Ledger Accounts Chart-of-accounts entries uploaded from the ERP; accounting codings are posted back against transactions and bills. Indices is specific to Elasticsearch and General Ledger Accounts to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents The unit of sync; JSON records created, updated, and deleted by _id. Transactions Card purchase records with merchant, amount, and state; read for spend/GL sync and written back via accounting codings and sync status. Documents is specific to Elasticsearch and Transactions to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Index mappings Field type definitions that determine how synced fields are indexed and queried. Cards Physical and virtual card records; created and managed through the API to provision or suspend cardholder spend. Index mappings is specific to Elasticsearch and Cards to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Aliases Stable read/write names that let a sync cut over between index versions without downtime. Users Employee and cardholder records; invited, updated, and deactivated, commonly synced from an HRIS or identity provider. Aliases is specific to Elasticsearch and Users to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Elasticsearch and Ramp

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.

Elasticsearch Ramp Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Elasticsearch for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp or sequence fields.

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

Ramp Elasticsearch Sub-second propagation

DetectionRamp notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Elasticsearch: No fixed request quota; throughput is bounded by cluster sizing, thread pools, and bulk queue capacity.
  • Ramp: 200 requests per 10-second rolling window per source IP; exceeding it returns 429 Too Many Requests, and requests running over 60 seconds return 504. Results use keyset pagination (follow the page.next URL / start cursor); higher limits can be requested from support.

REST API (Developer API v1)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0: exchange client_id/client_secret (HTTP Basic) at api.ramp.com/developer/v1/token for scoped bearer tokens; client_credentials grant for server-to-server and authorization_code for user-delegated access; scopes follow resource:permission (e.g. transactions:read, bills:write, accounting:write).
Change detection
Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events; otherwise poll incrementally (synced_after on transactions, from_created_at on bills) with keyset pagination, or read the audit-logs/events feed.
