Why teams connect Navan and Twitter Ads

Put revenue reality behind every campaign: Navan and Twitter Ads share the same customers, contacts, and billing status in real time, in both directions.

Navan records the money — who pays, how much, and whether they are current; Twitter Ads decides who hears from the business and what they hear. The two overlap wherever the same customers and contacts matter to both, and when that overlap is bridged by CSV exports or an overnight batch, campaigns target on stale billing data and finance works from lists marketing has already changed underneath it.

Stacksync syncs Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments, Users, Card Transactions, Connect Transactions in Navan with Promoted Tweets, Custom Audiences, Targeting Criteria, Funding Instruments in Twitter Ads field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — finance keeps the revenue and payment truth, marketing keeps consent and engagement — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

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 Read Funding Instruments and daily campaign spend into a finance database to reconcile X ad costs against billing and invoices.
  • 04 Pause or update Promoted Tweets and Line Items automatically when an upstream system such as budget pacing or inventory flags a rule breach.

Common sync patterns

Revenue and billing signals reach the audience

Plan tier, spend, or payment status from Navan lands on the matching record in Twitter Ads, so segments and targeting reflect who actually pays and how much.

One customer and contact list

Where both systems keep customer or contact records, an edit on either side propagates to the other, ending dual maintenance and the drift it creates.

Where Twitter Ads captures new people: clean records flow to finance

Registrants, form fills, or leads created in Twitter Ads create or update the matching customer or contact in Navan, so billing and reporting start from accurate details without re-entry.

What you can sync between Navan and Twitter Ads

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 Twitter Ads objects How this pairing syncs
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. Ad Accounts Top-level advertising account (base-36 ID) that holds campaigns and funding; read to enumerate structure, and most syncs are scoped to one account. Card Transactions is specific to Navan and Ad Accounts to Twitter Ads — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Connect Transactions External and personal card feed matched into Navan; retrieved read-only and coded with custom-field values through the transaction update endpoint. Campaigns Schedule and budget container; synced two-way to create and update daily/total budgets and run dates from a planning database or spreadsheet. Connect Transactions is specific to Navan and Campaigns to Twitter Ads — 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. Line Items Ad groups holding the per-engagement bid, promoted entity, and targeting; written to set bids and targeting, read for account structure. Manual Transactions is specific to Navan and Line Items to Twitter Ads — 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. Promoted Tweets Tweets promoted under a line item; created, paused, or updated through the API and read back for delivery status. Bookings is specific to Navan and Promoted Tweets to Twitter Ads — 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. Custom Audiences Match lists (formerly Tailored Audiences); written by uploading hashed emails or device IDs from a CRM or warehouse segment for retargeting and suppression. Custom Fields is specific to Navan and Custom Audiences to Twitter Ads — 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. Targeting Criteria Location, keyword, interest, and device rules attached to line items; read and written to adjust who a line item reaches. Receipts is specific to Navan and Targeting Criteria to Twitter Ads — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Navan and Twitter Ads

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 Twitter Ads 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 Twitter Ads through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Twitter Ads Navan Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Twitter Ads for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling only — the Ads API has no webhooks or change-data-capture.

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.
  • Twitter Ads: Per-endpoint 15-minute windows exposed via x-rate-limit-remaining and x-rate-limit-reset headers; asynchronous analytics is capped by concurrent jobs per account and covers up to 90 days per request.

How the Navan and Twitter Ads 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.

Twitter Ads

Integration surface
REST Ads API (synchronous management + asynchronous analytics jobs)
Authentication
OAuth 1.0a signed requests (three-legged user context) from a developer app allowlisted for the Ads API; OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens are limited to some read paths, while campaign, line item, and audience writes require OAuth 1.0a signing
Change detection
Polling only — the Ads API has no webhooks or change-data-capture; sync engines re-read entities and their state on a schedule and submit asynchronous analytics jobs for stats
