Why teams connect Gatekeeper and InfluxDB

Mirror Gatekeeper's data into InfluxDB 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 InfluxDB.

Stacksync mirrors Users, Categories, Contracts, Vendors (Suppliers) from Gatekeeper into Points, Tags, Fields, Retention policies in InfluxDB 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 Push generated documents into Gatekeeper Files, or pull executed contract PDFs and compliance evidence out into a document store or archive.
  • 02 Stream workflow-form data - intake requests, vendor onboarding, risk assessments - into an operational database for cycle-time and compliance reporting.
  • 03 Replicate downsampled aggregates into a data warehouse for long-term BI beyond retention windows.
  • 04 Feed alert-relevant thresholds and asset metadata from business systems into InfluxDB tags for richer queries.

Common sync patterns

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Gatekeeper arrive as row changes in InfluxDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

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 InfluxDB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Gatekeeper and InfluxDB

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.

Gatekeeper objects InfluxDB objects How this pairing syncs
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. Fields The unindexed numeric or string values carried by each point. Files is specific to Gatekeeper and Fields to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Retention policies Automatic expiry rules that determine how long synced history remains queryable. Workflow form data is specific to Gatekeeper and Retention policies to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom data groups Customer-configured custom fields and data groups; because the JSON:API and its docs are dynamic, any custom data added in Configuration exposes the same read/write endpoints as the standard objects and syncs the same way. Organizations Tenancy scope for tokens and buckets in multi-tenant deployments. Custom data groups is specific to Gatekeeper and Organizations to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Buckets / databases Named containers with retention settings that scope reads and writes. Users is specific to Gatekeeper and Buckets / databases to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Measurements The table-like grouping for points, typically mapped to a synced dataset. Categories is specific to Gatekeeper and Measurements to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Points Individual time-stamped records, the unit of write via line protocol. Contracts is specific to Gatekeeper and Points to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gatekeeper and InfluxDB

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.

Gatekeeper InfluxDB 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 applied to InfluxDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

InfluxDB Gatekeeper Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls InfluxDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling with time-range queries.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • InfluxDB: Subject to the platform's API rate limits on cloud plans; self-hosted deployments are bounded by hardware.

How the Gatekeeper and InfluxDB connectors work

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.
