Why teams connect Close and GitHub

Sync what happens in GitHub with the customer records in Close, in real time and in both directions.

The CRM is supposed to be the record of every customer relationship, but customer-relevant information also accumulates in the other tools a team runs. Whatever GitHub holds or produces that touches a customer, whether conversations, payments, replies, enriched data, or notes, the CRM only benefits if it arrives without someone copying it over.

Stacksync connects Organizations and Teams, Users, Labels and Milestones, Repositories in GitHub to Custom Fields, Users, Smart Views, Leads in Close with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in GitHub update the matching contact or account in Close, and CRM data flows the other way wherever GitHub can store and use it.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync of GitHub issues with Jira, Linear, or a support system so engineering and customer-facing teams work in their own tools.
  • 02 Mirror repository, PR, and workflow-run data into a Postgres database for engineering-metrics reporting.
  • 03 Keep Close contacts aligned with a marketing automation platform so outreach lists stay current.
  • 04 Push call, SMS, and email activity data into a warehouse for rep performance and outreach-cadence analysis.

Common sync patterns

Where GitHub supplies contact or company data

Enriched fields land directly on records in Close, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

Where GitHub can store CRM context: fields kept current

Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Close sync into GitHub, so people working there have the context without switching tools.

Where GitHub handles support or shared inboxes

Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in Close, so sales sees open issues before the next call.

What you can sync between Close and GitHub

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.

Close objects GitHub objects How this pairing syncs
Users Sales reps referenced as owners on leads, opportunities, and activities. Users Author and assignee identities matched to internal directories. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Contacts People nested under a lead, with emails and phone numbers used for outreach syncs. Releases Tagged versions synced into changelogs, CRMs, or customer-notification systems. Contacts is specific to Close and Releases to GitHub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Opportunities Deal records with value, confidence, and status; commonly synced to reporting and billing systems. Workflow runs (Actions) CI results synced into incident and reporting systems. Opportunities is specific to Close and Workflow runs (Actions) to GitHub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activities Calls, emails, SMS, notes, and meetings logged against a lead; the source for engagement analytics. Organizations and Teams Membership data synced with identity systems and HR directories for access reviews. Activities is specific to Close and Organizations and Teams to GitHub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tasks Follow-up items assigned to users; synced for workload and SLA reporting. Labels and Milestones Classification fields mapped to statuses and sprints in external trackers. Tasks is specific to Close and Labels and Milestones to GitHub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Activities User-defined activity types with their own custom fields, mapped like standard activities. Repositories Top-level containers whose metadata and settings syncs read to scope other objects. Custom Activities is specific to Close and Repositories to GitHub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Close and GitHub

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.

Close GitHub Sub-second propagation

DetectionClose notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling on date_updated fields for backfills.

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

GitHub Close Sub-second propagation

DetectionGitHub notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks with a broad event catalog covering issues, pull requests, pushes, and releases.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Close: Subject to per-endpoint rate limits communicated in response headers.
  • GitHub: Authenticated REST requests are limited to 5,000 per hour per user; GitHub Apps scale limits per installation.
