Why teams connect Cin7 and Drift

Close the gap between front office and back office: Drift and Cin7 share customers and status in real time, in both directions.

Drift holds the customer relationship; Cin7 runs the operations and records behind the business. The two overlap wherever the same organizations and transactions matter to both, and when that overlap is bridged by re-keying or overnight batch, each side spends the day working from stale data.

Stacksync syncs Contacts, Conversations, Messages, Accounts in Drift with Credit notes / returns, Products, Inventory levels, Sales orders in Cin7 field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Enrich Drift contact and account records with firmographic or product data from an internal database to sharpen playbook targeting.
  • 02 Sync meetings booked in Drift to CRM activities so pipeline attribution stays accurate.
  • 03 Sync sales orders from Cin7 into an accounting platform or warehouse for revenue and margin reporting.
  • 04 Keep customer records aligned between Cin7 and the CRM to remove duplicate account entry.
