Why teams connect Firebase and Ramp

Work with Ramp's financial data straight from Firebase: 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 Vendors, Funds (Spend Controls), General Ledger Accounts, Transactions from Ramp into Cloud Storage Objects, Cloud Functions Triggers, Firestore Collections, Firestore Documents in Firebase and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Firebase, 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 Mirror Bills and their approval and payment state into an AP or ERP system, marking each one ready-to-sync then synced to keep both ledgers reconciled.
  • 02 Read Reimbursements into a finance database for cross-entity expense reporting and reconciliation without manual CSV exports.
  • 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

Write back safely

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

React to financial events

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

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Ramp live in Firebase as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

What you can sync between Firebase 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.

Firebase objects Ramp objects How this pairing syncs
Realtime Database Nodes JSON tree paths in the older Realtime Database, synced by path. Funds (Spend Controls) Spend controls governing card usage; read and created via the funds API to enforce budgets per user, department, or program. Realtime Database Nodes is specific to Firebase and Funds (Spend Controls) to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Authentication Users User accounts read into CRMs and warehouses for customer records. General Ledger Accounts Chart-of-accounts entries uploaded from the ERP; accounting codings are posted back against transactions and bills. Authentication Users is specific to Firebase and General Ledger Accounts to Ramp — 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. Transactions Card purchase records with merchant, amount, and state; read for spend/GL sync and written back via accounting codings and sync status. Cloud Storage Objects is specific to Firebase and Transactions to Ramp — 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. Cards Physical and virtual card records; created and managed through the API to provision or suspend cardholder spend. Cloud Functions Triggers is specific to Firebase and Cards to Ramp — 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. Users Employee and cardholder records; invited, updated, and deactivated, commonly synced from an HRIS or identity provider. Firestore Collections is specific to Firebase and Users to Ramp — 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. Departments Org groupings for cost-center and GL allocation; pushed from an ERP/HRIS and referenced by cards and transactions. Firestore Documents is specific to Firebase and Departments to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Firebase 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.

Firebase Ramp 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 Ramp through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Ramp Firebase 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 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.
  • 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.

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.
