Why teams connect 6sense and Drift

Run 6sense and Drift side by side with the same accounts and contacts in both, whether they serve different teams or one is replacing the other.

6sense is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Drift, so Drift always reflects the current state of 6sense — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Two CRMs in one company is more common than anyone plans for: an acquisition brings its own system, regions or business units standardize differently, or a migration is under way and both are live. In every case, some of the same companies and people exist in both systems, and every day of manual double entry pushes the copies further apart.

Common use cases

  • Enrich inbound leads with 6sense firmographic and account-match data before routing.
  • Feed in-market account lists to sales engagement tools to start sequences automatically.
  • Land conversation transcripts and outcomes in a warehouse for funnel and chat-to-pipeline analysis.
  • Enrich Drift contact and account records with firmographic or product data from an internal database to sharpen playbook targeting.

Where both track pipeline: deal visibility across systems

Deal stage and value on shared accounts stay visible from either CRM.

Post-acquisition consolidation

Keep both CRMs accurate while the merged team decides on a target system, instead of freezing one and losing months of updates.

Migration with a parallel run

When one CRM is replacing the other, run both fully live until cutover, with no snapshot gap and no data freeze.
