Why teams connect Gatekeeper and Sysaid

Stop re-entering the same information in Gatekeeper and Sysaid: Stacksync keeps the records they share consistent in real time, in both directions.

Two tools in the daily stack often hold overlapping information: the same people, the same companies, or the same pieces of work, described twice. The tools do different jobs, so consolidating is not the answer; the overlap just needs to stop drifting.

Stacksync syncs Categories, Contracts, Vendors (Suppliers), Files in Gatekeeper with Assets, Configuration Items (CIs), Companies, Custom Fields in Sysaid in real time. You choose which records overlap, map the fields that should match, and pick a direction or let changes flow both ways. From then on, an update made in either tool is reflected in the other within seconds, without exports or copy-paste.

Because the sync is field-level, each tool keeps its own extras; only the shared data is held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream workflow-form data - intake requests, vendor onboarding, risk assessments - into an operational database for cycle-time and compliance reporting.
  • 02 Write contract or vendor records into Gatekeeper when a deal closes in the CRM to kick off downstream procurement and legal workflows.
  • 03 Stream Service Records into a warehouse for SLA, backlog, and MTTR reporting without manual CSV exports.
  • 04 Two-way sync Incidents and Service Requests with a Postgres database so on-call and internal apps read and update tickets in SQL while agents keep working in SysAid.

Common sync patterns

Handoffs between teams

When work started in one tool continues in the other, the shared fields travel with it automatically.

Where both tools track people or companies: one consistent record

Contact and company details corrected in either tool update the other, so nobody works from the old version.

Where one tool produces events: mirror them in the other

Payments, replies, messages, or tickets created in one tool can create or update matching records in the other, keeping context in one place.

What you can sync between Gatekeeper and Sysaid

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 Sysaid 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. Users End users and admins on the /users endpoint; synced with an HRIS or identity source to keep requester and agent records current. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
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. Companies Customer and department organizations that scope tickets and users; mapped to Accounts in a CRM or org tables in a database. Categories is specific to Gatekeeper and Companies to Sysaid — 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. Custom Fields Org-specific fields on service records, discoverable through the API so mappings can be generated without hardcoding names. Contracts is specific to Gatekeeper and Custom Fields to Sysaid — 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. Incidents Break/fix tickets under /api/v1/sr with type=incident; created and updated two-way with status, priority, assignee, category, and SLA fields. Vendors (Suppliers) is specific to Gatekeeper and Incidents to Sysaid — 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. Service Requests Catalog and help-desk requests on the same /sr endpoint (type=request); written or read so fulfillment can be driven from another system. Files is specific to Gatekeeper and Service Requests to Sysaid — 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. Problems Root-cause records that group related incidents; read and written to keep problem management aligned with an external ITSM or reporting store. Workflow form data is specific to Gatekeeper and Problems to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gatekeeper and Sysaid

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

Sysaid Gatekeeper Sub-second propagation

DetectionSysaid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature.

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.
  • Sysaid: Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.

How the Gatekeeper and Sysaid 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.

Rate limits
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.

Sysaid

Integration surface
REST API (JSON)
Authentication
Client-credentials app keys: an application key (clientId/clientSecret) is created via /v1/application-keys, then exchanged at /v1/access-tokens for a bearer token (default 24h, up to 30 days); an x-sysaid-accountid header scopes the account. Legacy V0 uses session-cookie login.
Change detection
Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature; otherwise poll the /sr endpoint filtering on update_time.gte.
