Why teams connect Gatekeeper and QuickBooks

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

QuickBooks holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Gatekeeper 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 Vendors, Items, Accounts, Journal entries in QuickBooks and Custom data groups, Users, Categories, Contracts in Gatekeeper in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Gatekeeper keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with QuickBooks 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 Mirror the chart of accounts and journal entries into a warehouse for consolidated financial reporting.
  • 02 Create QuickBooks invoices automatically from closed-won deals or e-commerce orders.
  • 03 Two-way sync Contracts between Gatekeeper and an ERP or warehouse so value, renewal dates, owner, and status stay current without manual re-keying.
  • 04 Sync Vendors (Suppliers) with a CRM or ERP so counterparty, compliance, contact, and spend records match across the VCLM and the systems of record.

Common sync patterns

Where Gatekeeper collects payments or triggers charges: events land in QuickBooks

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

Where Gatekeeper 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 Gatekeeper handles customer conversations: billing context in view

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

What you can sync between Gatekeeper and QuickBooks

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 QuickBooks objects How this pairing syncs
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. Estimates Quotes that convert to invoices, synced with CRM quoting flows Categories is specific to Gatekeeper and Estimates to QuickBooks — 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. Purchase orders Procurement documents synced with inventory and ordering systems Contracts is specific to Gatekeeper and Purchase orders to QuickBooks — 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. Credit memos Adjustments to receivables, needed for accurate revenue syncs Vendors (Suppliers) is specific to Gatekeeper and Credit memos to QuickBooks — 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. Customers Billing entities kept consistent with CRM accounts and subscription tools Files is specific to Gatekeeper and Customers to QuickBooks — 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. Invoices Receivables created from closed deals or orders and read back for payment status Workflow form data is specific to Gatekeeper and Invoices to QuickBooks — 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. Payments Received funds applied to invoices, synced for revenue reconciliation Custom data groups is specific to Gatekeeper and Payments to QuickBooks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gatekeeper and QuickBooks

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

QuickBooks Gatekeeper Sub-second propagation

DetectionQuickBooks pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Webhooks for entity change events, plus a Change Data Capture query operation for pull-based deltas.

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.
  • QuickBooks: Subject to per-realm API request limits.

How the Gatekeeper and QuickBooks 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.
