Conversations
Chat threads with status and participants; the center of Drift's data model.
Messages
Individual messages within a conversation, used for transcript and intent analysis.
Accounts
Company records used for account-based routing and targeting.
Users
Agents and sales reps who own conversations and meetings.
Playbooks
Bot flows that generate conversations and qualify visitors.
Meetings
Meetings booked through Drift, synced to CRM as sales activities.

Use cases

What teams run on the Drift connector.

Drift was bought by marketing ops and demand generation teams to convert website traffic into pipeline through chat playbooks, live conversations, and meeting booking, sitting in front of the CRM and marketing automation stack. Salesloft acquired Drift in 2024, and a gradual sunset of the conversational marketing product was announced in 2026. The system holds first-touch data - chat-captured Contacts, Conversations, and Meetings - that attribution and routing depend on, which raises the stakes for extracting it.

  • Marketing ops
  • RevOps
  • Demand generation
  • Data engineering
  1. Sync Drift-captured contacts into the CRM so chat-sourced leads enter standard sales workflows immediately.

  2. Land conversation transcripts and outcomes in a warehouse for funnel and chat-to-pipeline analysis.

  3. Enrich Drift contact and account records with firmographic or product data from an internal database to sharpen playbook targeting.

  4. Sync meetings booked in Drift to CRM activities so pipeline attribution stays accurate.

  5. Archive historical Drift conversation and contact data into a warehouse ahead of a platform migration.

  6. Sync chat-captured Contacts and Accounts into the CRM in real time so routing and attribution fire before a rep follows up.

FAQ

Drift connector FAQ

What can I sync with the Drift connector?

Drift's core objects — Contacts, Conversations, Messages, Accounts and custom fields — can sync with any of 302 other systems. Every integration is real-time and bidirectional, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution.

How does Stacksync connect to Drift?

Via REST API, authenticated with OAuth 2.0 via apps registered on the Drift developer platform. Changes are detected as follows — webhook events for new conversations, messages, and contact changes; polling for backfills. Stacksync manages rate limits, retries, and schema changes automatically.

Is the Drift connector two-way?

Yes. Changes made in Drift propagate to the connected system and vice versa, in milliseconds. One-way flows are also supported when a direction should stay read-only.

How long does a Drift integration take to set up?

Most Drift integrations go live in minutes: authenticate Drift and the other system, pick objects and fields, and enable the sync. No code and no infrastructure to manage.

Is Drift data secure in transit?

Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA compliant. Drift data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means records are not retained after a sync operation.
