Why teams connect Azure OpenAI and Front

Flow Azure OpenAI data into Front in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

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

Azure OpenAI works on data it does not own. The records, conversations, tickets, messages, and events it needs to embed, classify, summarize, or answer questions about actually live in Front, the tool the team uses every day. So the value of Azure OpenAI depends on two flows that most teams stitch together with a custom script or a one-time export: getting Front's data in, and getting the model's results back out to where people can act on them. When either flow runs on a batch or a stale snapshot, the model reasons over yesterday's data and its output never reaches the record it belongs to.

Stacksync syncs Accounts, Inboxes, Tags, Teammates from Front into Azure OpenAI continuously, so the model always works from current records instead of a snapshot, and writes Files, Batch jobs, Usage and quota, Assistants, the scores, labels, summaries, drafts, and embedding metadata Azure OpenAI produces, back onto the matching record in Front. The sync is field-level and keyed on a stable identifier, so every output attaches to the exact record it came from and each system keeps its own extra fields untouched.

You decide the direction and the trigger conditions per field: pull records one way to build and keep a retrieval corpus current, push results the other way onto the operational record, or both.

Common use cases

  • 01 Pull per-deployment TPM/RPM usage into a warehouse for FinOps chargeback and quota-exhaustion alerting.
  • 02 Mirror Assistants and Vector stores configuration into a database as an auditable inventory of retrieval assets and their linked files.
  • 03 Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data into Front contact and account custom fields so it shows next to the conversation.
  • 04 Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.

Common sync patterns

Keep the model's knowledge current

As records change in Front, the synced copy in Azure OpenAI updates within seconds, so retrieval and generation reason over live data rather than a stale export.

Where Azure OpenAI classifies or scores: results land on the record

Categories, sentiment, priority, or scores produced by Azure OpenAI write back onto the matching record in Front, so the team acts on them in the tool they already use.

Where Azure OpenAI generates text: drafts and summaries where the work happens

Summaries, suggested replies, or generated content from Azure OpenAI sync onto the Front record as a field or note, ready for a person to review before it goes out.

What you can sync between Azure OpenAI and Front

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.

Azure OpenAI objects Front objects How this pairing syncs
Deployments Named model deployments (model, version, SKU, assigned TPM capacity) read as a control-plane inventory via Azure Resource Manager; read-only in sync. Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics. Deployments is specific to Azure OpenAI and Tags to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Models Catalog of base and fine-tunable models available per region; read-only reference data used to resolve deployment and fine-tuning targets. Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. Models is specific to Azure OpenAI and Teammates to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Fine-tuning jobs Training jobs with status, base model, hyperparameters, and result files; status is polled from queued through succeeded or failed. Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from. Fine-tuning jobs is specific to Azure OpenAI and Channels to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Files Uploaded training, validation, and batch-input files plus generated output files; listed and read by ID, not written back in sync. Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics. Files is specific to Azure OpenAI and Conversations to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Batch jobs Asynchronous bulk-inference jobs; status and output-file IDs are polled to completion to drive downstream pipeline triggers. Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting. Batch jobs is specific to Azure OpenAI and Messages to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Usage and quota Per-deployment TPM/RPM consumption and remaining quota, read from usage endpoints and Azure Monitor for cost and throttling reporting. Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. Usage and quota is specific to Azure OpenAI and Comments to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure OpenAI and Front

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.

Azure OpenAI Front Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Azure OpenAI for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling: list endpoints plus GET on job IDs for status.

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

Front Azure OpenAI Sub-second propagation

DetectionFront notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Application webhooks and rule-triggered webhooks, with the events endpoint available for polling.

DeliveryAzure OpenAI does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Azure OpenAI's output flows back as field updates on the originating Front records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Azure OpenAI: Per-deployment TPM and RPM limits (about 6 RPM per 1000 TPM), scoped by region and subscription; control-plane ARM calls throttle separately.
  • Front: Request limits vary by plan.
