Why teams connect Navan and Orderful

Connect the financial records in Navan with the work happening in Orderful, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.

Navan holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Orderful is where part of the day-to-day work happens, and that work often involves the same customers and transactions. Without a live connection, the two drift apart, and people end up answering questions from stale copies.

Stacksync keeps Connect Transactions, Manual Transactions, Bookings, Custom Fields in Navan and Validation guidelines, Acknowledgments, Webhook events, Transactions in Orderful in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Orderful keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Navan is mapped field by field, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds.

There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

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 Mirror transaction statuses and acknowledgments into a database for supply chain visibility dashboards.
  • 04 Onboard new retail partners by mapping Orderful's JSON transactions to existing order tables instead of building per-partner EDI maps.

Common sync patterns

Where Orderful collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Navan

Payment and charge activity flows into Navan as it happens, so the books reflect reality without manual reconciliation.

Where Orderful tracks people or companies: one identity

A customer's details updated in either system update the other, so finance and the rest of the business stop maintaining two versions of the same customer.

Where Orderful handles customer conversations: billing context in view

Front-line teams see invoice and payment status from Navan next to the customer they are helping, without logging into the finance system.

How changes propagate between Navan and Orderful

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.

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

Orderful Navan Sub-second propagation

DetectionOrderful notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks push inbound transactions and status events.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Navan 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.
  • Orderful: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.

How the Navan and Orderful connectors work

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.
