Why teams connect Gladly and Navan

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between Navan and Gladly in real time, so sales sees the money and finance sees the relationship.

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Gladly knows the relationship: who the contacts are and what is in motion with the account. Navan knows the money: what was invoiced, what was paid, what is overdue. When the two are connected only by exports, each side works partly blind.

Stacksync links Bookings, Custom Fields, Receipts, Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments in Navan to Topics, Tasks, Customer profiles, Conversations in Gladly with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, updated billing details, invoice status, and payment activity move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. The result is one version of each customer, visible from both sides.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push coded expense transactions into an accounting system, then set their ERP sync status in Navan so the same records are not exported twice.
  • 02 Pull Bookings by date range into a database to reconcile travel reservations against Card Transactions and monitor travel-policy spend.
  • 03 Sync Gladly customer profiles with an order database so agents see purchase history and profile updates flow back.
  • 04 Mirror conversations and topics into a warehouse for CX analytics and staffing models.

Common sync patterns

Billing detail changes flow back

When a contact or address is corrected in Gladly, Navan gets the update before the next invoice goes out.

Collections with context

Finance sees the account owner and relationship history from Gladly when chasing a balance, and sales sees that the chase is happening.

Where Gladly tracks deals: closed-won creates the finance record

A won opportunity creates or updates the customer in Navan with the right billing details, so invoicing starts without re-keying.

How changes propagate between Gladly and Navan

Gladly Navan Sub-second propagation

DetectionGladly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook event subscriptions for conversation and customer events, supplemented by polling and report exports.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Navan through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Navan Gladly Sub-second propagation

DetectionNavan notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Navan's Expense API supports webhooks for transaction and expense events.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Gladly through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Navan: Requests are throttled with HTTP 429 and Navan recommends retrying with exponential backoff; the Expense/Public API must first be enabled per account by Navan.
