Why teams connect Firebase and Gatekeeper

Mirror Gatekeeper's data into Firebase so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Gatekeeper through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Firebase.

Stacksync mirrors Custom data groups, Users, Categories, Contracts from Gatekeeper into Authentication Users, Cloud Storage Objects, Cloud Functions Triggers, Firestore Collections in Firebase and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Gatekeeper, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Vendors (Suppliers) with a CRM or ERP so counterparty, compliance, contact, and spend records match across the VCLM and the systems of record.
  • 02 Push generated documents into Gatekeeper Files, or pull executed contract PDFs and compliance evidence out into a document store or archive.
  • 03 Combine Firebase Authentication users with billing and CRM records into one customer table.
  • 04 Replace one-off Cloud Functions export code with managed, continuous sync.

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Gatekeeper with a query

Records from Gatekeeper are ordinary rows in Firebase; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Gatekeeper from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Firebase and Stacksync propagates the change into Gatekeeper, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Firebase and Gatekeeper

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.

Firebase objects Gatekeeper objects How this pairing syncs
Authentication Users User accounts read into CRMs and warehouses for customer records. Users Gatekeeper user and team records governed by role-based access; read to map contract and vendor owners, approvers, and internal contacts to CRM or HR records. Authentication Users is specific to Firebase and Users to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cloud Storage Objects Files referenced from documents; usually synced as metadata plus URLs. Categories The classification taxonomy applied to contracts and vendors (type, department, business unit); synced so categorization stays consistent between Gatekeeper and downstream reporting or ERP dimensions. Cloud Storage Objects is specific to Firebase and Categories to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cloud Functions Triggers Server-side hooks that fire on document changes and can push updates outward. Contracts The core contract records holding value, key dates, renewal terms, status, type, owner, and the linked vendor; created, read, updated, and deleted so contract data moves two-way between Gatekeeper and a database, ERP, or CRM. Cloud Functions Triggers is specific to Firebase and Contracts to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Firestore Collections Top-level groupings of documents that a sync maps to tables or SaaS objects. Vendors (Suppliers) Company records for counterparties and suppliers with onboarding status, compliance, risk, contacts, and spend; read and written to keep vendor master data aligned with a CRM or ERP. Firestore Collections is specific to Firebase and Vendors (Suppliers) to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Firestore Documents Schemaless JSON-like records, the primary unit synced to and from external systems. Files Document files attached to contracts and vendors - executed PDFs, certificates, and compliance evidence; read to pull signed files and evidence out, or written to push generated documents in. Firestore Documents is specific to Firebase and Files to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Subcollections Nested collections under documents, typically flattened into related tables during sync. Workflow form data The structured data captured on Gatekeeper workflow forms (intake requests, vendor onboarding, risk assessments); exposed by the API since 2025 so form results sync into an operational database, not only contract and vendor records. Subcollections is specific to Firebase and Workflow form data to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Firebase and Gatekeeper

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.

Firebase Gatekeeper Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Firebase for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Real-time snapshot listeners on Firestore queries and Cloud Functions triggers on document changes.

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

Gatekeeper Firebase Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gatekeeper for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No native developer webhook subscription API and no database change-data-capture log.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Firebase: Subject to Firestore's documented operation quotas and per-document write throughput limits.
  • Gatekeeper: Gatekeeper publishes no fixed public per-minute request quota; throughput is governed per key by its endpoint permissions, and every call is recorded (parameters, payload, response) under API Logs for monitoring. Pace bulk writes and use JSON:API pagination on list endpoints.

How the Firebase and Gatekeeper connectors work

Firebase

Integration surface
REST and gRPC APIs, typically accessed through the Firebase Admin SDK
Authentication
Google service account credentials (IAM) for server-side access; Firebase Auth tokens for client contexts
Change detection
Real-time snapshot listeners on Firestore queries and Cloud Functions triggers on document changes
Capabilities

Rate limits
Subject to Firestore's documented operation quotas and per-document write throughput limits

Gatekeeper

Integration surface
RESTful API following the JSON:API specification, tenant-scoped with interactive docs at {tenant}.gatekeeperhq.com/api_docs and a published Postman collection. The API is dynamic: it exposes the standard Contract and Vendor objects plus any custom data groups and workflow-form data configured in the tenant.
Authentication
API keys created and managed under Configuration > API Keys and passed as a token; each key carries granular per-endpoint permissions set to read-only or write, so access is scoped per object. Multiple keys can be issued and revoked independently.
Change detection
No native developer webhook subscription API and no database change-data-capture log; detect changes by polling the JSON:API list endpoints filtered and sorted on updated-at timestamps. Gatekeeper's own event automation - Workflow Engine phase transitions and Interconnect process orchestration - runs inside the platform rather than as a subscribable webhook stream.
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Gatekeeper publishes no fixed public per-minute request quota; throughput is governed per key by its endpoint permissions, and every call is recorded (parameters, payload, response) under API Logs for monitoring. Pace bulk writes and use JSON:API pagination on list endpoints.
