Why teams connect Couchbase and Front

Mirror Front's data into Couchbase so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Front through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Couchbase.

Stacksync mirrors Contacts, Accounts, Inboxes, Tags from Front into Collections, JSON Documents, Global Secondary Indexes, XDCR replications in Couchbase and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Front, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Sync conversations, messages, and tags into Postgres for response-time and volume analytics across inboxes.
  • Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data into Front contact and account custom fields so it shows next to the conversation.
  • Sync Couchbase JSON documents into Postgres or a warehouse where analysts work with flattened relational tables.
  • Stream document mutations via DCP into downstream systems so caches, search indexes, or warehouses stay current.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Front arrive as row changes in Couchbase, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Front with a query

Records from Front are ordinary rows in Couchbase; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Couchbase 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.

Couchbase objects Front objects
Collections Table-like groupings of documents that syncs typically map one-to-one to destination tables. Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from.
JSON Documents The core records; schemaless JSON keyed by document id, flattened or mapped to relational rows in syncs. Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics.
Global Secondary Indexes Indexes that make SQL++ query-based extraction efficient. Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting.
XDCR replications Cluster-to-cluster replication streams, useful context when choosing a sync source cluster. Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs.
Full-text search indexes Search indexes over documents, relevant when syncing searchable content. Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context.
Buckets Top-level data containers, roughly analogous to a database, that scope replication and memory quotas. Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts.
