Why teams connect Folk CRM and Google Cloud SQL

Treat Folk CRM like part of your database: its records live in Google Cloud SQL 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 Google Cloud SQL, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Custom fields, Notes, Reminders, People from Folk CRM into Rows, Views, Transaction logs, Instances in Google Cloud SQL 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

  • Push enriched contact data from a data warehouse into folk custom fields.
  • Mirror folk groups into a reporting database to track pipeline and outreach coverage.
  • Keep an internal admin application backed by Cloud SQL consistent with an ERP or billing system.
  • Migrate from a self-managed database by syncing Cloud SQL and the legacy system during cutover.

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 Google Cloud SQL, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Folk CRM become tables in Google Cloud SQL you can join with application data directly.

What you can sync between Folk CRM and Google Cloud SQL

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.

Folk CRM objects Google Cloud SQL objects
Reminders Follow-up items that can be created from external triggers. Transaction logs MySQL binlog or PostgreSQL WAL, the source for log-based change capture.
People Contact records; the primary entity synced with outreach and enrichment tools. Instances The managed MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server server a sync connects to.
Companies Organization records linked to people and kept aligned with billing or CS systems. Databases Scope the tables included in a sync configuration.
Groups Shared workspaces that organize contacts; group membership is often the field integrations act on. Schemas Namespace tables in PostgreSQL and SQL Server instances.
Custom fields Group-scoped attributes that receive enriched or computed values from external systems. Tables Mapped directly to sync targets; schema changes can be propagated.
Notes Free-text context attached to people and companies, readable for reporting. Rows Read and written by primary key during each sync cycle.
