Why teams connect Navan and StarRocks

Land the financial records from Navan in StarRocks continuously, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Finance data belongs in the warehouse: revenue, invoices, payments, and customers joined with everything else the business measures. Getting it there usually means an extraction pipeline that breaks quietly and delivers yesterday's numbers.

Stacksync syncs Manual Transactions, Bookings, Custom Fields, Receipts from Navan into tables in StarRocks in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in StarRocks can be written back to fields in Navan where you want them operational. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than code you maintain.

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 Land CRM and ERP records into StarRocks to serve low-latency operational dashboards
  • 04 Continuously apply upserts from operational databases into Primary Key tables to keep analytics current

Common sync patterns

Write-back of computed fields

Scores or segments computed in StarRocks, like payment-risk flags or customer tiers, sync back onto records in Navan where the finance team can act on them.

Queryable history for audit and reconciliation

A continuously synced copy in StarRocks gives you a durable, queryable record of financial data for month-end and audit questions.

Finance analytics without ETL

Invoices, payments, and customer records from Navan arrive in StarRocks as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

What you can sync between Navan and StarRocks

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 StarRocks 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. Materialized views Automatically maintained rollups used to accelerate queries on synced data. Connect Transactions is specific to Navan and Materialized views to StarRocks — 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. Views Logical views for shaping analytical reads. Manual Transactions is specific to Navan and Views to StarRocks — 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. Partitions Time or range partitions that scope loads and retention. Bookings is specific to Navan and Partitions to StarRocks — 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. Columns Columnar storage with types mapped from source systems during sync. Custom Fields is specific to Navan and Columns to StarRocks — 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. Databases Top-level namespaces addressed exactly as in MySQL clients. Receipts is specific to Navan and Databases to StarRocks — 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. Tables Defined with a table model (Primary Key, Unique Key, Aggregate, Duplicate Key) that determines update behavior. Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments is specific to Navan and Tables to StarRocks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Navan and StarRocks

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

StarRocks Navan Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls StarRocks for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Query-based polling when reading.

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.
  • StarRocks: Ingestion throughput is bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas.

How the Navan and StarRocks 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.
