Why teams connect Drift and NextGen Healthcare

Sync what happens in NextGen Healthcare with the customer records in Drift, 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 NextGen Healthcare 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 Appointments, Encounters, Providers, Clinical Documents in NextGen Healthcare to Messages, Accounts, Users, Playbooks in Drift with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in NextGen Healthcare update the matching contact or account in Drift, and CRM data flows the other way wherever NextGen Healthcare can store and use it.
