Why teams connect BetterContact and Front

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

BetterContact 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 BetterContact — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Two tools in the daily stack often hold overlapping information: the same people, the same companies, or the same pieces of work, described twice. The tools do different jobs, so consolidating is not the answer; the overlap just needs to stop drifting.

Stacksync syncs Company, Lead Finder Search, Enrichment Request, Enriched Contact in BetterContact with Inboxes, Tags, Teammates, Channels in Front in real time. You choose which records overlap, map the fields that should match, and pick a direction or let changes flow both ways. From then on, an update made in either tool is reflected in the other within seconds, without exports or copy-paste.

Because the sync is field-level, each tool keeps its own extras; only the shared data is held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Backfill a warehouse of contacts with waterfall enrichment across 20+ data providers.
  • 02 Feed outbound sequencing tools with verified contact data before campaigns launch.
  • 03 Feed CSAT and SLA reporting from synced conversation events rather than manual exports.
  • 04 Sync conversations, messages, and tags into Postgres for response-time and volume analytics across inboxes.

Common sync patterns

Where one tool produces events: mirror them in the other

Payments, replies, messages, or tickets created in one tool can create or update matching records in the other, keeping context in one place.

Where Front is where the team documents or plans: keep its data fed

Information that originates in BetterContact stays current in Front instead of going stale after a one-time paste.

Handoffs between teams

When work started in one tool continues in the other, the shared fields travel with it automatically.

What you can sync between BetterContact 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.

BetterContact objects Front objects How this pairing syncs
Company Company data returned with each contact: name, domain, HQ location, industry, employee count. Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. Company is specific to BetterContact and Teammates to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lead Finder Search Prospect discovery by people and company filters, returning enriched lead profiles. Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from. Lead Finder Search is specific to BetterContact and Channels to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Enrichment Request Batch or single submissions of up to 100 contacts per request for waterfall enrichment. Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics. Enrichment Request is specific to BetterContact and Conversations to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Enriched Contact Verified work emails and mobile numbers with job title, LinkedIn profile, location, and skills. Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting. Enriched Contact is specific to BetterContact and Messages to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BetterContact 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.

BetterContact Front Sub-second propagation

DetectionBetterContact notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Job-based delivery — enrichment results arrive by webhook push or polling of the results endpoint.

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

Front BetterContact 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.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • BetterContact: Batches capped at 100 contacts per enrichment request.
  • Front: Request limits vary by plan.
