Why teams connect Gatekeeper and Insightly

Sync what happens in Gatekeeper with the customer records in Insightly, in real time and in both directions.

The CRM is supposed to be the record of every customer relationship, but customer-relevant information also accumulates in the other tools a team runs. Whatever Gatekeeper holds or produces that touches a customer, whether conversations, payments, replies, enriched data, or notes, the CRM only benefits if it arrives without someone copying it over.

Stacksync connects Files, Workflow form data, Custom data groups, Users in Gatekeeper to Tasks, Events, Notes, Products in Insightly with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Gatekeeper update the matching contact or account in Insightly, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Gatekeeper can store and use it.

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 Two-way sync of Insightly contacts and organizations with a marketing automation platform
  • 04 Replicate opportunities into Postgres or a warehouse so RevOps can report on pipeline with SQL

Common sync patterns

Where Gatekeeper can store CRM context: fields kept current

Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Insightly sync into Gatekeeper, so people working there have the context without switching tools.

Where Gatekeeper supplies contact or company data

Enriched fields land directly on records in Insightly, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

Where Gatekeeper processes payments

Charges, refunds, and subscription changes appear on the account in Insightly, so revenue context lives with the relationship.

What you can sync between Gatekeeper and Insightly

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 Insightly objects How this pairing syncs
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. Tasks Activity records keep follow-ups consistent across systems. Users is specific to Gatekeeper and Tasks to Insightly — 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. Events Calendar items sync for a complete activity timeline. Categories is specific to Gatekeeper and Events to Insightly — 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. Notes Free-text context attaches to synced records for downstream visibility. Contracts is specific to Gatekeeper and Notes to Insightly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Products Product catalog entries support line-item syncing on opportunities and quotes. Vendors (Suppliers) is specific to Gatekeeper and Products to Insightly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Custom Fields Per-object custom fields carry enrichment and billing data written from external systems. Files is specific to Gatekeeper and Custom Fields to Insightly — 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. Contacts Person records sync with marketing and support tools to keep one contact list. Workflow form data is specific to Gatekeeper and Contacts to Insightly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gatekeeper and Insightly

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

Insightly Gatekeeper Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Insightly for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on record updated-date fields.

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.
  • Insightly: Daily API request caps vary by Insightly plan.

How the Gatekeeper and Insightly 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.
