Why teams connect Drift and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

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

Drift holds the customer relationship; Microsoft Dynamics NAV 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 Conversations, Messages, Accounts, Users in Drift with Purchase Orders, G/L Entries, Item Ledger Entries, Dimensions in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 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

  • Sync meetings booked in Drift to CRM activities so pipeline attribution stays accurate.
  • Archive historical Drift conversation and contact data into a warehouse ahead of a platform migration.
  • Run parallel sync during a NAV-to-Business Central migration so both systems stay usable.
  • Sync customers, items, and orders between NAV and a CRM in both directions.
