Why teams connect Citus and Folk CRM

Treat Folk CRM like part of your database: its records live in Citus as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in Citus, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Custom fields, Notes, Reminders, People from Folk CRM into Local tables, Schemas, Views, Sequences in Citus with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Folk CRM with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • Mirror folk groups into a reporting database to track pipeline and outreach coverage.
  • Keep folk and a billing or customer success tool aligned on company records as deals close.
  • Write CRM or billing records into reference tables so distributed queries can join operational context locally on every node.
  • Use a Citus cluster as the scalable operational store behind a customer-facing app while syncing summaries back to internal tools.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Citus sync onto the matching records in Folk CRM, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Folk CRM API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Folk CRM arrive as row changes in Citus, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

What you can sync between Citus and Folk 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.

Citus objects Folk CRM objects
Distributed tables Tables sharded across worker nodes by a distribution column; the main sync target for large datasets. Custom fields Group-scoped attributes that receive enriched or computed values from external systems.
Reference tables Small lookup tables replicated to every node, synced like ordinary Postgres tables. Notes Free-text context attached to people and companies, readable for reporting.
Local tables Coordinator-only tables that behave exactly like standard PostgreSQL tables. Reminders Follow-up items that can be created from external triggers.
Schemas Standard Postgres namespaces used to scope what a sync user can read and write. People Contact records; the primary entity synced with outreach and enrichment tools.
Views Curated projections over distributed data, often used as read-only sync sources. Companies Organization records linked to people and kept aligned with billing or CS systems.
Sequences Key generators that matter when external writes must not collide with application inserts. Groups Shared workspaces that organize contacts; group membership is often the field integrations act on.
