Why teams connect Intercom and Ramp

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

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Intercom knows the relationship: who the contacts are and what is in motion with the account. Ramp 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 Users, Departments, Reimbursements, Bills in Ramp to Tags, Segments, Admins & Teams, Articles in Intercom 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 Read Reimbursements into a finance database for cross-entity expense reporting and reconciliation without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Two-way sync Transactions and their accounting codings with a Postgres warehouse so finance analyzes spend in SQL and pushes GL categories and memos back to Ramp.
  • 03 Mirror conversations and tickets into a warehouse for support analytics and SLA reporting
  • 04 Keep custom data attributes updated from billing or ERP systems so message segments reflect current plan and spend

Common sync patterns

Billing detail changes flow back

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

Collections with context

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

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

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

What you can sync between Intercom and Ramp

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.

Intercom objects Ramp objects How this pairing syncs
Articles Help center content is accessible via API for knowledge sync and audits. Departments Org groupings for cost-center and GL allocation; pushed from an ERP/HRIS and referenced by cards and transactions. Articles is specific to Intercom and Departments to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

Reimbursements Out-of-pocket expense claims; read for reporting and marked ready-to-sync then synced to the ERP. Contacts is specific to Intercom and Reimbursements to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

Bills Accounts-payable bills; created, updated, approved, and paid, then posted ready-to-sync and synced to accounting. Companies is specific to Intercom and Bills to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Conversations Support and sales threads sync outward for analytics and CRM context. Vendors Supplier records under the accounting namespace; uploaded and updated for AP matching and payments.

Data Events is specific to Intercom and General Ledger Accounts to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Intercom and Ramp

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.

Intercom Ramp Sub-second propagation

DetectionIntercom notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook topic subscriptions for contact, company, and conversation events, plus polling for backfill.

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

Ramp Intercom Sub-second propagation

DetectionRamp notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Intercom: Subject to per-app rate limits on the Intercom API.
  • Ramp: 200 requests per 10-second rolling window per source IP; exceeding it returns 429 Too Many Requests, and requests running over 60 seconds return 504. Results use keyset pagination (follow the page.next URL / start cursor); higher limits can be requested from support.
