Why teams connect Namely and Ramp

Keep the employee, department, and cost records that Ramp and Namely share consistent in real time, so the finance system and the people system stop drifting apart.

Ramp runs the money side of the company: who gets paid, what it costs, and which part of the business the cost belongs to. Namely runs the people side: who works here, which team they sit in, and how their employment changes over time. The two overlap on the same people and the same org structure, because every employee is also a payee and every department is also a cost center. When that overlap is maintained by hand, a new hire, a transfer, or a termination has to be keyed twice, and the two systems start to disagree about who is active and where the cost lands.

Stacksync syncs Users, Departments, Reimbursements, Bills in Ramp with Job Titles, Job Tiers, Groups, Teams in Namely bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, updated, or deactivated on either side appears on the other within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly batch jobs.

That matters most when money follows a people event. A hire that finance can pay, a leaver whose access ends, a transfer that redirects cost to the right team, all happen from one change instead of two, so headcount and spend reconcile from the same set of records.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Bills and their approval and payment state into an AP or ERP system, marking each one ready-to-sync then synced to keep both ledgers reconciled.
  • 02 Read Reimbursements into a finance database for cross-entity expense reporting and reconciliation without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Push Groups and Teams (departments, locations, team categories) into downstream apps to keep org structure and reporting lines aligned.
  • 04 Feed Namely Reports as JSON into a database on a schedule for roster, turnover, and diversity dashboards without manual CSV exports.

Common sync patterns

Department and cost-center alignment

The org structure maintained in Namely keeps the departments or cost centers in Ramp current, so spend and headcount roll up the same way.

Status changes propagate

A role, department, or employment-status change in either system updates the other within seconds, so cost allocation, access, and reporting reflect the current state.

People-driven costs land in finance

Compensation, reimbursements, or other costs tied to a person on the Namely side flow into Ramp for posting, so the books reflect what people actually cost without manual re-entry.

What you can sync between Namely 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.

Namely objects Ramp objects How this pairing syncs
Profile Fields Metadata describing standard and company-defined custom field sections; read to discover schema and generate mappings. Departments Org groupings for cost-center and GL allocation; pushed from an ERP/HRIS and referenced by cards and transactions. Profile Fields is specific to Namely and Departments to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Events Home-feed items such as announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, and new arrivals; typically read-only into comms tools. Reimbursements Out-of-pocket expense claims; read for reporting and marked ready-to-sync then synced to the ERP. Events is specific to Namely and Reimbursements to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Profiles The core employee record (personal, job, contact, and compensation fields); synced two-way via GET/POST/PUT with updated_at driving incremental polling. Bills Accounts-payable bills; created, updated, approved, and paid, then posted ready-to-sync and synced to accounting. Profiles is specific to Namely and Bills to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Job Titles Job title definitions; read and written so titles stay aligned with an HRIS, directory, or reporting dimension. Vendors Supplier records under the accounting namespace; uploaded and updated for AP matching and payments. Job Titles is specific to Namely and Vendors to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Job Tiers Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables. Funds (Spend Controls) Spend controls governing card usage; read and created via the funds API to enforce budgets per user, department, or program. Job Tiers is specific to Namely and Funds (Spend Controls) to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups Departments and locations that organize Profiles; synced to keep org structure aligned with a warehouse or IdP. General Ledger Accounts Chart-of-accounts entries uploaded from the ERP; accounting codings are posted back against transactions and bills. Groups is specific to Namely and General Ledger Accounts to Ramp — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Namely 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.

Namely Ramp Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Namely for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks.

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

Ramp Namely 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 Namely through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Namely: Namely's public docs do not publish a fixed request quota; the REST API returns standard HTTP status codes, so integrations should throttle and back off on 429/5xx responses.
  • 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.

How the Namely and Ramp connectors work

Namely

Integration surface
REST API (JSON over HTTPS)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 authorization-code grant, or a personal access token sent as a Bearer token; all calls run over HTTPS against https://{subdomain}.namely.com/api/v1
Change detection
No webhooks; integrations poll GET endpoints and compare the updated_at / created_at timestamps on Profiles and related objects to detect changes

Ramp

Integration surface
REST API (Developer API v1)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0: exchange client_id/client_secret (HTTP Basic) at api.ramp.com/developer/v1/token for scoped bearer tokens; client_credentials grant for server-to-server and authorization_code for user-delegated access; scopes follow resource:permission (e.g. transactions:read, bills:write, accounting:write).

Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events; otherwise poll incrementally (synced_after on transactions, from_created_at on bills) with keyset pagination, or read the audit-logs/events feed.
