Why teams connect Gatekeeper and Zoho CRM

Sync what happens in Gatekeeper with the customer records in Zoho CRM, 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 Contracts, Vendors (Suppliers), Files, Workflow form data in Gatekeeper to Deal, Task, Meeting, Call in Zoho CRM with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Gatekeeper update the matching contact or account in Zoho CRM, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Gatekeeper can store and use it.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write contract or vendor records into Gatekeeper when a deal closes in the CRM to kick off downstream procurement and legal workflows.
  • 02 Two-way sync Contracts between Gatekeeper and an ERP or warehouse so value, renewal dates, owner, and status stay current without manual re-keying.
  • 03 Run Zoho CRM and another CRM in parallel with bi-directional sync during a migration.
  • 04 Push warehouse-computed lead scores and product signals into Zoho CRM fields for rep prioritization.

Common sync patterns

Where Gatekeeper processes payments

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

Where Gatekeeper can store CRM context: fields kept current

Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Zoho CRM 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 Zoho CRM, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

What you can sync between Gatekeeper and Zoho CRM

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 Zoho CRM objects How this pairing syncs
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. Call Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Workflow form data is specific to Gatekeeper and Call to Zoho CRM — 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. Product Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Custom data groups is specific to Gatekeeper and Product to Zoho CRM — 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. Quote Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Users is specific to Gatekeeper and Quote to Zoho CRM — 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. Sales Order Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Categories is specific to Gatekeeper and Sales Order to Zoho CRM — 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 Order Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Contracts is specific to Gatekeeper and Purchase Order to Zoho CRM — 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. Invoice Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Vendors (Suppliers) is specific to Gatekeeper and Invoice to Zoho CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gatekeeper and Zoho CRM

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

Zoho CRM Gatekeeper Sub-second propagation

DetectionZoho CRM notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Notification API (webhooks) on watched modules, with polling on Modified_Time.

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.
  • Zoho CRM: API credits are allocated per day and vary by edition.

How the Gatekeeper and Zoho CRM 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.
