Why teams connect Firebolt and Navan

Land the financial records from Navan in Firebolt 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 Receipts, Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments, Users, Card Transactions from Navan into tables in Firebolt in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Firebolt 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 Pull Bookings by date range into a database to reconcile travel reservations against Card Transactions and monitor travel-policy spend.
  • 02 Sync Users and department mappings from an HRIS into reporting tables so every transaction is attributed to a cost center and manager.
  • 03 Sync CRM objects into Firebolt so customer-facing dashboards reflect recent pipeline changes.
  • 04 Keep dimension tables aligned with source systems while high-volume event data loads through separate batch pipelines.

Common sync patterns

Queryable history for audit and reconciliation

A continuously synced copy in Firebolt gives you a durable, queryable record of financial data for month-end and audit questions.

Finance analytics without ETL

Invoices, payments, and customer records from Navan arrive in Firebolt 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 Firebolt for reporting the finance system cannot do alone.

What you can sync between Firebolt 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.

Firebolt objects Navan objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Managed columnar tables written with SQL; the main sync destination. Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments Money-movement records including repayments, FX and platform fees, and credit or debit memos; read-only for reconciliation ledgers. Tables is specific to Firebolt and Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
External tables References to files in object storage used to stage bulk loads. Users Employee and cardholder records referenced by every transaction; usually provisioned from an HRIS and used to map spend to people and departments. External tables is specific to Firebolt and Users to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Curated query surfaces commonly used as sources for reverse ETL. 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. Views is specific to Firebolt and Card Transactions to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Aggregating indexes Precomputed rollups maintained at write time; incremental loads update them automatically. Connect Transactions External and personal card feed matched into Navan; retrieved read-only and coded with custom-field values through the transaction update endpoint. Aggregating indexes is specific to Firebolt and Connect Transactions to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Engines Compute resources that must be running for a sync to read or write. Manual Transactions Out-of-pocket reimbursements and payroll submissions; synced for approval and reimbursement, then GL-coded back into Navan. Engines is specific to Firebolt and Manual Transactions to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical containers holding the tables a sync targets. 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. Databases is specific to Firebolt and Bookings to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Firebolt 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.

Firebolt Navan Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Firebolt for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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

Navan Firebolt 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 Firebolt as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Firebolt: No fixed request quota; throughput depends on the engine size attached to the workload.
  • 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 Firebolt and Navan connectors work

Firebolt

Integration surface
SQL over a REST API, with JDBC, Python, and Node.js SDKs
Authentication
Service account credentials (client ID and secret) exchanged for OAuth 2.0 tokens
Change detection
Polling; Firebolt is an analytics destination and does not expose a change feed
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No fixed request quota; throughput depends on the engine size attached to the workload

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
read · write · webhooks
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.
