Why teams connect Ramp and Snowflake

Land the financial records from Ramp in Snowflake 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 Funds (Spend Controls), General Ledger Accounts, Transactions, Cards from Ramp into tables in Snowflake in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Snowflake can be written back to fields in Ramp 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 Read Reimbursements into a finance database for cross-entity expense reporting and reconciliation without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Two-way sync Transactions and their accounting codings with a Postgres warehouse so finance analyzes spend in SQL and pushes GL categories and memos back to Ramp.
  • 03 Activate modeled Snowflake tables by syncing scores and attributes back into CRM fields sales can act on
  • 04 Keep a customer 360 table aligned with its source systems in both directions instead of one-way reverse ETL

Common sync patterns

Write-back of computed fields

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

Queryable history for audit and reconciliation

A continuously synced copy in Snowflake 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 Ramp arrive in Snowflake as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

What you can sync between Ramp and Snowflake

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.

Ramp objects Snowflake objects How this pairing syncs
General Ledger Accounts Chart-of-accounts entries uploaded from the ERP; accounting codings are posted back against transactions and bills. Streams Row-level change records on a table, consumed to process deltas instead of full scans. General Ledger Accounts is specific to Ramp and Streams to Snowflake — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Transactions Card purchase records with merchant, amount, and state; read for spend/GL sync and written back via accounting codings and sync status. Stages File staging areas used for bulk loads into synced tables. Transactions is specific to Ramp and Stages to Snowflake — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cards Physical and virtual card records; created and managed through the API to provision or suspend cardholder spend. Tasks Scheduled SQL used to transform synced data after it lands. Cards is specific to Ramp and Tasks to Snowflake — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Employee and cardholder records; invited, updated, and deactivated, commonly synced from an HRIS or identity provider. VARIANT Columns Semi-structured JSON payloads stored alongside relational columns. Users is specific to Ramp and VARIANT Columns to Snowflake — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Departments Org groupings for cost-center and GL allocation; pushed from an ERP/HRIS and referenced by cards and transactions. Virtual Warehouses The compute a sync's queries run on, sized independently of storage. Departments is specific to Ramp and Virtual Warehouses to Snowflake — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reimbursements Out-of-pocket expense claims; read for reporting and marked ready-to-sync then synced to the ERP. Databases Top-level containers that scope which data a sync can touch. Reimbursements is specific to Ramp and Databases to Snowflake — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ramp and Snowflake

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.

Ramp Snowflake Sub-second propagation

DetectionRamp notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Snowflake as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Snowflake Ramp Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Snowflake are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. The setup script grants "create stream" on synced schemas (Snowflake streams), but the docs do not name the change-capture mechanism.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ramp: 200 requests per 10-second rolling window per source IP; exceeding it returns 429 Too Many Requests, and requests running over 60 seconds return 504. Results use keyset pagination (follow the page.next URL / start cursor); higher limits can be requested from support.
  • Snowflake: No conventional API rate limits; cost and throughput are governed by virtual warehouse size and running time.

How the Ramp and Snowflake connectors work

Ramp

Integration surface
REST API (Developer API v1)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0: exchange client_id/client_secret (HTTP Basic) at api.ramp.com/developer/v1/token for scoped bearer tokens; client_credentials grant for server-to-server and authorization_code for user-delegated access; scopes follow resource:permission (e.g. transactions:read, bills:write, accounting:write).
Change detection
Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events; otherwise poll incrementally (synced_after on transactions, from_created_at on bills) with keyset pagination, or read the audit-logs/events feed.
