Why teams connect Navan and Redis Enterprise

Work with Navan's financial data straight from Redis Enterprise: 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 Bookings, Custom Fields, Receipts, Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments from Navan into Hashes, JSON documents, Sets, Sorted Sets in Redis Enterprise and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Redis Enterprise, 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 Push coded expense transactions into an accounting system, then set their ERP sync status in Navan so the same records are not exported twice.
  • 02 Pull Bookings by date range into a database to reconcile travel reservations against Card Transactions and monitor travel-policy spend.
  • 03 Cache CRM or ERP records into Redis hashes so applications read customer data with sub-millisecond in-memory latency instead of hitting SaaS APIs.
  • 04 Sync Postgres reference tables into RedisJSON documents that power API responses and personalization lookups.

Common sync patterns

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Redis Enterprise propagate into Navan, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Navan appear in Redis Enterprise 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 Redis Enterprise as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

What you can sync between Navan and Redis Enterprise

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.

Navan objects Redis Enterprise objects How this pairing syncs
Connect Transactions External and personal card feed matched into Navan; retrieved read-only and coded with custom-field values through the transaction update endpoint. Sorted Sets Score-ordered collections used for rankings, priority queues, and time-ordered indexes. Connect Transactions is specific to Navan and Sorted Sets to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Manual Transactions Out-of-pocket reimbursements and payroll submissions; synced for approval and reimbursement, then GL-coded back into Navan. Lists Ordered sequences often used as lightweight queues fed by sync events. Manual Transactions is specific to Navan and Lists to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Streams Append-only logs with consumer groups, used to fan sync events out to downstream services. Bookings is specific to Navan and Streams to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Fields Company metadata such as cost centers and project codes; discovered via GET and their option lists created or updated via async POST. Pub/Sub channels Fire-and-forget messaging used to notify applications when synced keys change. Custom Fields is specific to Navan and Pub/Sub channels to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Receipts Receipt images tied to each transaction; fetched read-only through presigned URLs for archival in a warehouse or document store. Search indexes Secondary indexes (RediSearch) that make synced hashes and JSON documents queryable. Receipts is specific to Navan and Search indexes to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments Money-movement records including repayments, FX and platform fees, and credit or debit memos; read-only for reconciliation ledgers. Keys (Strings) Simple key-value pairs used to cache individual synced records or lookup values. Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments is specific to Navan and Keys (Strings) to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Navan and Redis Enterprise

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 Redis Enterprise 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 Redis Enterprise as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Redis Enterprise Navan Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Redis Enterprise for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Keyspace notifications over pub/sub or reads from Redis Streams.

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.
  • Redis Enterprise: Throughput is bounded by provisioned cluster capacity rather than published API rate limits.

How the Navan and Redis Enterprise 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.
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
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.

Redis Enterprise

Integration surface
Redis wire protocol (RESP) via client libraries; separate REST API for cluster management
Authentication
Password or ACL-based credentials, typically over TLS
Change detection
Keyspace notifications over pub/sub or reads from Redis Streams; no transaction-log CDC surface for data
