Why teams connect MarkLogic and Navan

Work with Navan's financial data straight from MarkLogic: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Users, Card Transactions, Connect Transactions, Manual Transactions from Navan into Users & Roles, Documents, Collections, Semantic Triples in MarkLogic and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against MarkLogic, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Navan with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Users and department mappings from an HRIS into reporting tables so every transaction is attributed to a cost center and manager.
  • 02 Sync Card Transactions and Manual Transactions into Postgres or a warehouse so finance analyzes corporate spend in SQL without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Keep reference datasets and semantically linked entities aligned across downstream applications.
  • 04 Feed harmonized entities into search and analytics applications as documents change.

Common sync patterns

React to financial events

Changes in Navan appear in MarkLogic as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Navan live in MarkLogic as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on MarkLogic; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Navan.

What you can sync between MarkLogic 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.

MarkLogic objects Navan objects How this pairing syncs
Users & Roles Security principals that govern what an integration credential can read or write. Card Transactions Navan physical and virtual card spend; read via GET, then GL codes, cost centers, and ERP sync status are written back per transaction through the transaction update endpoint. Users & Roles is specific to MarkLogic and Card Transactions to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents JSON and XML documents, the primary records read from and written to the database. Connect Transactions External and personal card feed matched into Navan; retrieved read-only and coded with custom-field values through the transaction update endpoint. Documents is specific to MarkLogic and Connect Transactions to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collections Named groupings used to scope which documents a sync reads or updates. Manual Transactions Out-of-pocket reimbursements and payroll submissions; synced for approval and reimbursement, then GL-coded back into Navan. Collections is specific to MarkLogic and Manual Transactions to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Semantic Triples RDF data stored alongside documents, queryable with SPARQL for linked-data syncs. 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. Semantic Triples is specific to MarkLogic and Bookings to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
TDE Views Relational projections of documents that let syncs read document data as SQL rows. Custom Fields Company metadata such as cost centers and project codes; discovered via GET and their option lists created or updated via async POST. TDE Views is specific to MarkLogic and Custom Fields to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Document Metadata & Properties Permissions, quality, and property fragments carried with each document. Receipts Receipt images tied to each transaction; fetched read-only through presigned URLs for archival in a warehouse or document store. Document Metadata & Properties is specific to MarkLogic and Receipts to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MarkLogic 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.

MarkLogic Navan Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MarkLogic for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction log.

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

Navan MarkLogic 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 applied to MarkLogic as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

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.

How the MarkLogic and Navan connectors work

MarkLogic

Integration surface
REST API (Client API), plus SQL/ODBC access over TDE views and Java/Node client libraries
Authentication
Username/password (digest or basic), with certificate-based options
Change detection
No exposed transaction log; polling on document timestamps/metadata, or server-side triggers that record changes for pickup
Capabilities

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.
Capabilities

Rate limits
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.
