Why teams connect Front and Ramp

Connect the financial records in Ramp with the work happening in Front, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.

Ramp holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Front is where part of the day-to-day work happens, and that work often involves the same customers and transactions. Without a live connection, the two drift apart, and people end up answering questions from stale copies.

Stacksync keeps Reimbursements, Bills, Vendors, Funds (Spend Controls) in Ramp and Channels, Conversations, Messages, Comments in Front in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Front keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Ramp is mapped field by field, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds.

There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

Common use cases

  • 01 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.
  • 02 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.
  • 03 Mirror conversations tagged for escalation into engineering trackers through the synced database.
  • 04 Feed CSAT and SLA reporting from synced conversation events rather than manual exports.

Common sync patterns

Where Front tracks people or companies: one identity

A customer's details updated in either system update the other, so finance and the rest of the business stop maintaining two versions of the same customer.

Where Front handles customer conversations: billing context in view

Front-line teams see invoice and payment status from Ramp next to the customer they are helping, without logging into the finance system.

Where Front collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Ramp

Payment and charge activity flows into Ramp as it happens, so the books reflect reality without manual reconciliation.

What you can sync between Front 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.

Front objects Ramp objects How this pairing syncs
Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts. Users Employee and cardholder records; invited, updated, and deactivated, commonly synced from an HRIS or identity provider. Accounts is specific to Front and Users to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel. Departments Org groupings for cost-center and GL allocation; pushed from an ERP/HRIS and referenced by cards and transactions. Inboxes is specific to Front and Departments to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics. Reimbursements Out-of-pocket expense claims; read for reporting and marked ready-to-sync then synced to the ERP. Tags is specific to Front and Reimbursements to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. Bills Accounts-payable bills; created, updated, approved, and paid, then posted ready-to-sync and synced to accounting. Teammates is specific to Front and Bills to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from. Vendors Supplier records under the accounting namespace; uploaded and updated for AP matching and payments. Channels is specific to Front and Vendors to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics. Funds (Spend Controls) Spend controls governing card usage; read and created via the funds API to enforce budgets per user, department, or program. Conversations is specific to Front and Funds (Spend Controls) to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Front 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.

Front Ramp Sub-second propagation

DetectionFront notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Application webhooks and rule-triggered webhooks, with the events endpoint available for polling.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Front: Request limits vary by plan.
  • 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.
