Why teams connect Ramp and SQL Server

Work with Ramp's financial data straight from SQL Server: 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 Cards, Users, Departments, Reimbursements from Ramp into Tables, Views, Columns, Primary and Unique Keys in SQL Server and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against SQL Server, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Ramp with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

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 Expose SaaS records as SQL Server tables that existing SSRS reports and internal apps can query
  • 04 Mirror on-premises ERP data held in SQL Server into cloud CRM and support systems

Common sync patterns

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on SQL Server; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Ramp.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in SQL Server propagate into Ramp, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Ramp appear in SQL Server as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

What you can sync between Ramp and SQL Server

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 SQL Server objects How this pairing syncs
Departments Org groupings for cost-center and GL allocation; pushed from an ERP/HRIS and referenced by cards and transactions. Stored Procedures T-SQL logic that can validate or post-process synced rows. Departments is specific to Ramp and Stored Procedures to SQL Server — 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 Instance-level databases that scope a sync's reads and writes. Reimbursements is specific to Ramp and Databases to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bills Accounts-payable bills; created, updated, approved, and paid, then posted ready-to-sync and synced to accounting. Schemas Namespaces (dbo and custom) used to organize synced tables. Bills is specific to Ramp and Schemas to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vendors Supplier records under the accounting namespace; uploaded and updated for AP matching and payments. Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Vendors is specific to Ramp and Tables to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Funds (Spend Controls) Spend controls governing card usage; read and created via the funds API to enforce budgets per user, department, or program. Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Funds (Spend Controls) is specific to Ramp and Views to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
General Ledger Accounts Chart-of-accounts entries uploaded from the ERP; accounting codings are posted back against transactions and bills. Columns Field-level mapping targets with T-SQL types. General Ledger Accounts is specific to Ramp and Columns to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ramp and SQL Server

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

SQL Server Ramp Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SQL Server are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SQL Server Native Change Data Capture (CDC).

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.
  • SQL Server: No API rate limits; throughput depends on instance resources, licensing tier, and connection limits.

How the Ramp and SQL Server 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.
