Why teams connect Jumpcloud and Navan

Keep the people who can act on financial records in Navan matched to their identities in Jumpcloud, so access is provisioned, updated, and revoked in real time.

Navan runs the money — the ledgers, invoices, budgets, and payments — and every one of those actions is taken by a person with a login. Jumpcloud is where those people and their access actually live: who is employed, what team they belong to, and what they are allowed to do. The two systems rarely share customers or transactions, but they share the one thing that governs both — the user. When that overlap is maintained by hand, a departed employee keeps finance access for weeks and a new hire waits on a ticket to get any.

Stacksync keeps Connect Transactions, Manual Transactions, Bookings, Custom Fields in Navan aligned with System Groups, Applications (SSO), Policies, Commands in Jumpcloud, field by field and in real time. A person added, moved, or deactivated on the identity side updates their matching user in the finance system within seconds, with the role or permission set mapped from the group they belong to. Direction is yours to set: lead provisioning from the directory, or let an HR-owned finance record drive the downstream accounts.

For a finance team, that alignment is an audit control rather than a convenience. When the user list in the books matches the identity source of truth, segregation-of-duties and access reviews start from data that is already correct instead of an export that was current last quarter.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Card Transactions and Manual Transactions into Postgres or a warehouse so finance analyzes corporate spend in SQL without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Push coded expense transactions into an accounting system, then set their ERP sync status in Navan so the same records are not exported twice.
  • 03 Read Systems and System Group memberships into a database for device inventory, patch reporting, and conditional-access analysis.
  • 04 Drive Application and Policy assignments from HR attributes or entitlement tables so SSO access and device policies change the moment a role does.

Common sync patterns

Group and role membership drives finance permissions

A person's group or role in Jumpcloud maps to their permission set in Navan, so who can approve, post, or view is governed from one place instead of maintained twice.

Access reviews backed by live data

Because the user list in Navan matches the identity source in Jumpcloud in real time, access certifications and SOX-style reviews start from current membership rather than a stale spreadsheet.

People attributes for allocation and approvals

Department, manager, and employee identifiers carried in Jumpcloud flow to Navan, so expense routing, cost-center allocation, and approval chains use the same org data as the directory.

What you can sync between Jumpcloud and Navan

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.

Jumpcloud objects Navan objects How this pairing syncs
Applications (SSO) SAML and OIDC SSO app configs; read via v2 /applications and their user/group assignments created and removed to control who can reach each connected app. Manual Transactions Out-of-pocket reimbursements and payroll submissions; synced for approval and reimbursement, then GL-coded back into Navan. Applications (SSO) is specific to Jumpcloud and Manual Transactions to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Policies Device configuration and MDM policies; read, created from templates, and updated via v2 /policies, then bound to systems and system groups to enforce settings across the fleet. Bookings Flight, hotel, rail, and car reservations from the Booking API; pulled read-only by createdFrom/createdTo date range for trip and travel-spend reporting. Policies is specific to Jumpcloud and Bookings to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Commands Scripts and commands run on managed systems; full CRUD via v1 /commands, then triggered on target systems and groups for automation and remediation. Custom Fields Company metadata such as cost centers and project codes; discovered via GET and their option lists created or updated via async POST. Commands is specific to Jumpcloud and Custom Fields to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Directory Insights events Audit stream of logins and admin actions across SSO, LDAP, RADIUS, systems, and MDM; read-only, queried by POST and used as the change feed and SIEM source. Receipts Receipt images tied to each transaction; fetched read-only through presigned URLs for archival in a warehouse or document store. Directory Insights events is specific to Jumpcloud and Receipts to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
System Users (Users) Directory user accounts (email, username, attributes, status, MFA, group and app bindings); full CRUD via the v1 /systemusers API - create, update, activate or suspend, and delete to match an HR or identity source. Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments Money-movement records including repayments, FX and platform fees, and credit or debit memos; read-only for reconciliation ledgers. System Users (Users) is specific to Jumpcloud and Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
User Groups User groups that grant app, LDAP, and RADIUS access; created, updated, and deleted via v2 /usergroups, with membership managed through the graph association endpoints. Users Employee and cardholder records referenced by every transaction; usually provisioned from an HRIS and used to map spend to people and departments. User Groups is specific to Jumpcloud and Users to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Jumpcloud and Navan

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.

Jumpcloud Navan Sub-second propagation

DetectionJumpcloud notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No database-style change log.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Jumpcloud: JumpCloud rate-limits API requests and returns HTTP 429 (Rate limit exceeded) when a client sends requests too quickly; its guidance is to back off and retry at a lower rate. Specific per-minute ceilings are not published, and the Directory Insights API is metered separately. Webhook deliveries are retried three times with exponential backoff on 5xx, 408, or 429 responses.
  • 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.

How the Jumpcloud and Navan connectors work

Jumpcloud

Integration surface
JumpCloud REST API - v1 (console.jumpcloud.com/api) for Systems, System Users, and Commands; v2 (/api/v2) for User Groups, System Groups, Applications, Policies, and resource associations; plus the Directory Insights API (api.jumpcloud.com/insights/directory/v1/events) and Webhook Channels for outbound events.
Authentication
Admin API key sent in the x-api-key header (keys are prefixed jca_, generated in the console with a 30-365 day expiry, and disabled for admins by default until enabled); an x-org-id header scopes calls to a single organization for MSP multi-tenant admins. System Context authorization (HMAC-signed) also exists for agent-run calls.
Change detection
No database-style change log. The Directory Insights API is queried by POST for login and admin events across SSO, LDAP, RADIUS, systems, MDM, and directory services - including the association_change event that records user-to-group and policy-to-device membership changes; Webhook Channels tied to Insights Rules POST JSON to a registered endpoint for near-real-time triggers.

Navan

Integration surface
REST (Expense API and Booking API)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client-credentials flow; an admin creates a client_id and client_secret under Settings > Integrations and exchanges them at Navan's OAuth token endpoint for a short-lived bearer token that is refreshed on expiry (separate US and EU regional hosts)
Change detection
Navan's Expense API supports webhooks for transaction and expense events; sync engines also poll GET endpoints with date-range and updatedAt filters (createdFrom/createdTo for bookings) to backfill history and reconcile. There is no database-level CDC.
