Why teams connect Nimble and Recurly

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between Recurly and Nimble in real time, so sales sees the money and finance sees the relationship.

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Nimble knows the relationship: who the contacts are and what is in motion with the account. Recurly knows the money: what was invoiced, what was paid, what is overdue. When the two are connected only by exports, each side works partly blind.

Stacksync links Accounts, Subscriptions, Plans, Invoices in Recurly to Notes, Tags, Custom fields, Contacts in Nimble with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, updated billing details, invoice status, and payment activity move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. The result is one version of each customer, visible from both sides.

Common use cases

  • 01 Trigger revenue-recognition or ERP entries when new_subscription and canceled_subscription webhooks fire.
  • 02 Post usage records to Measured Units on metered Subscriptions from a metering database before each bill run.
  • 03 Consolidate contacts from marketing tools into Nimble while writing Nimble edits back to avoid duplicates.
  • 04 Feed Nimble activity and task data into reporting dashboards without manual CSV exports.

Common sync patterns

Billing detail changes flow back

When a contact or address is corrected in Nimble, Recurly gets the update before the next invoice goes out.

Collections with context

Finance sees the account owner and relationship history from Nimble when chasing a balance, and sales sees that the chase is happening.

Where Nimble tracks deals: closed-won creates the finance record

A won opportunity creates or updates the customer in Recurly with the right billing details, so invoicing starts without re-keying.

How changes propagate between Nimble and Recurly

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.

Nimble Recurly Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Nimble for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on record modification timestamps.

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

Recurly Nimble Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Nimble: Subject to per-account API request quotas.
  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
