Why teams connect Gatekeeper and Snowflake

Get the data locked inside Gatekeeper into Snowflake as live tables, and send results back where Gatekeeper can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Gatekeeper is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Categories, Contracts, Vendors (Suppliers), Files from Gatekeeper into tables in Snowflake continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Snowflake can also be written back into fields in Gatekeeper where the tool can use them.

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 Push product usage aggregates from Snowflake into sales and success tools for account prioritization
  • 04 Feed finance reconciliation models from ERP data landed in Snowflake on a continuous basis

Common sync patterns

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Snowflake preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Gatekeeper or gets changed inside it.

Analytics on Gatekeeper's data

Records and events from Gatekeeper land in Snowflake as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Gatekeeper's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

What you can sync between Gatekeeper and Snowflake

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 Snowflake objects How this pairing syncs
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. Materialized Views Precomputed results synced outward for low-latency reads. Custom data groups is specific to Gatekeeper and Materialized Views to Snowflake — 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. Streams Row-level change records on a table, consumed to process deltas instead of full scans. Users is specific to Gatekeeper and Streams to Snowflake — 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. Stages File staging areas used for bulk loads into synced tables. Categories is specific to Gatekeeper and Stages to Snowflake — 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. Tasks Scheduled SQL used to transform synced data after it lands. Contracts is specific to Gatekeeper and Tasks to Snowflake — 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. VARIANT Columns Semi-structured JSON payloads stored alongside relational columns. Vendors (Suppliers) is specific to Gatekeeper and VARIANT Columns to Snowflake — 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. Virtual Warehouses The compute a sync's queries run on, sized independently of storage. Files is specific to Gatekeeper and Virtual Warehouses to Snowflake — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gatekeeper and Snowflake

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

Snowflake Gatekeeper Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Snowflake are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. The setup script grants "create stream" on synced schemas (Snowflake streams), but the docs do not name the change-capture mechanism.

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.
  • Snowflake: No conventional API rate limits; cost and throughput are governed by virtual warehouse size and running time.

How the Gatekeeper and Snowflake 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.
