Why teams connect Channelengine and Freshworks CRM

Keep the customers and orders that Freshworks CRM and Channelengine share aligned in real time, so sales works from live purchase history and the store works from current account details.

Freshworks CRM holds the customer relationship: the contacts, accounts, and deals a go-to-market team works. Channelengine runs the buying side: who placed which order, what they bought, and where it ships. The two describe the same people and companies, and when they are connected only by exports, sales answers questions without recent orders in front of them while the store works from account details that changed weeks ago.

Stacksync links Lists, Notes, Contacts, Accounts in Freshworks CRM to Order documents, Orders, Products (product content), Offers (price and stock) in Channelengine with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, order activity, and corrected contact details move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. A record created or changed on either side shows up on the other within seconds, with no CSV exports and no nightly job.

The shared entity is the customer, matched on email or an external ID, so both systems agree on who the buyer is and the order history sits next to the relationship instead of in a separate tab.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync unified contact records, covering sales and marketing attributes, into a warehouse for full-funnel reporting.
  • 02 Push scored leads from a data platform into Freshworks CRM and route them by lifecycle stage.
  • 03 Write Shipments with tracking back to ChannelEngine when the warehouse or ERP marks an order shipped, so each marketplace notifies the buyer.
  • 04 Sync Returns and Cancellations two-way so customer-service and finance systems reconcile marketplace returns and cancellations with the ERP.

Common sync patterns

Contact and address details stay consistent

An email, phone, or shipping and billing address corrected in either system updates the other, so the next order and the next outreach both use current information.

Where Freshworks CRM segments customers: status travels to the store record

Lifecycle stage, tier, or account owner set in Freshworks CRM syncs onto the customer record in Channelengine, so the buying side can act on how the relationship is classified.

Where both keep product records: catalog and CRM products aligned

Where Freshworks CRM tracks products or line items and Channelengine holds the catalog, shared items are matched on SKU so quotes, deals, and orders reference the same products.

What you can sync between Channelengine and Freshworks CRM

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.

Channelengine objects Freshworks CRM objects How this pairing syncs
Cancellations Order cancellations; create with POST /v2/cancellations and read with GET /v2/cancellations. Written when stock is unavailable and read back for reconciliation. Lists Contact list membership synced against segments computed in a warehouse. Cancellations is specific to Channelengine and Lists to Freshworks CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Backorders Records marking part of an order as temporarily out of stock; create with POST /v2/backorders and read with GET /v2/backorders by merchant reference or since a date. Notes Context records attached to contacts, accounts, and deals. Backorders is specific to Channelengine and Notes to Freshworks CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Order documents Invoices and other order documents; retrieved as a paginated, filterable list via GET /v2/orders/documents for finance and archiving systems. Read-only. Contacts Unified sales-and-marketing person records; the core entity for bidirectional syncs. Order documents is specific to Channelengine and Contacts to Freshworks CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Orders Marketplace and merchant-fulfilled orders; read via GET /v2/orders and GET /v2/orders/new (status NEW), then acknowledged with POST /v2/orders/acknowledge so later shipment, return, and cancellation calls can reference them. Accounts Company records kept consistent with ERP and billing systems. Orders is specific to Channelengine and Accounts to Freshworks CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products (product content) Catalog records created and updated via POST /v2/products and deactivated via DELETE; use a parent/child variant model where the parent is a non-purchasable blueprint. Written into ChannelEngine from a PIM, ERP, or database. Deals Pipeline records synced out for forecasting and full-funnel reporting. Products (product content) is specific to Channelengine and Deals to Freshworks CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Offers (price and stock) Price and stock updates via PUT /v2/offer/stock and the offers endpoints; separate from product content so fast-changing stock can be pushed often, and supports bulk updates across stock locations. Tasks Follow-ups created from external signals such as product usage events. Offers (price and stock) is specific to Channelengine and Tasks to Freshworks CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Channelengine and Freshworks CRM

Rate-limit considerations

  • Channelengine: Rate limits are per endpoint and returned in headers: x-rate-limit-limit (interval length in minutes), x-rate-limit-remaining, and retry-after (seconds to wait); e.g. POST /v2/supportorder allows 3 calls per minute.
  • Freshworks CRM: Subject to per-account API rate limits that vary by plan.

Channelengine

Integration surface
REST API (Merchant API v2); per-tenant base URL https://{tenant}.channelengine.net/api
Authentication
API key passed as the 'apikey' parameter; ChannelEngine recommends sending it in a request header rather than the URL because some webservers log full URLs
