Why teams connect Folk CRM and PostgreSQL
Treat Folk CRM like part of your database: its records live in PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.
Stacksync mirrors Custom fields, Notes, Reminders, People from Folk CRM into Columns, Primary and Unique Keys, JSONB Columns, Sequences in PostgreSQL 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
- 01 Sync folk people and companies with a marketing or outbound tool so outreach lists stay current.
- 02 Push enriched contact data from a data warehouse into folk custom fields.
- 03 Expose SaaS objects (CRM contacts, ERP invoices, support tickets) as Postgres tables that internal tools can query and join
- 04 Let an application write to its own database and have those rows appear as records in business systems in near real time
Common sync patterns
Query the CRM like a database
Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Folk CRM become tables in PostgreSQL you can join with application data directly.
Product events onto CRM records
Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to PostgreSQL sync onto the matching records in Folk CRM, giving go-to-market teams live product context.
Internal tools without API code
Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Folk CRM API, limits, and retries.
What you can sync between Folk CRM and PostgreSQL
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 | PostgreSQL objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Notes Free-text context attached to people and companies, readable for reporting. | Primary and Unique Keys Used as match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict resolution. | Notes is specific to Folk CRM and Primary and Unique Keys to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Reminders Follow-up items that can be created from external triggers. | JSONB Columns Hold semi-structured payloads such as nested SaaS objects or metadata. | Reminders is specific to Folk CRM and JSONB Columns to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| People Contact records; the primary entity synced with outreach and enrichment tools. | Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. | People is specific to Folk CRM and Sequences to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Companies Organization records linked to people and kept aligned with billing or CS systems. | Custom Types and Enums Constrain synced values to a fixed set, mirroring picklist fields. | Companies is specific to Folk CRM and Custom Types and Enums to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Groups Shared workspaces that organize contacts; group membership is often the field integrations act on. | Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in connected SaaS systems. | Groups is specific to Folk CRM and Tables to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Custom fields Group-scoped attributes that receive enriched or computed values from external systems. | Views Read-side projections used to expose joined or filtered data to a sync. | Custom fields is specific to Folk CRM and Views to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Folk CRM and PostgreSQL
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.
Folk CRM PostgreSQL Sub-second propagation
DetectionFolk CRM notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling of list endpoints as a fallback.
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to PostgreSQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
PostgreSQL Folk CRM Sub-second propagation
DetectionChanges in PostgreSQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication (wal_level = logical) for change data capture via the "Postgres" connector.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Folk CRM through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Folk CRM: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
- PostgreSQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits, instance resources, and replication slot throughput.

FAQ
Folk CRM and PostgreSQL integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Folk CRM and PostgreSQL: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Folk CRM's Notes and Reminders), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Common patterns for Folk CRM and PostgreSQL: Query the CRM like a database; Product events onto CRM records; Internal tools without API code. Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Folk CRM become tables in PostgreSQL you can join with application data directly.
-
Folk CRM: REST API. Authentication: API key (Bearer token). PostgreSQL: SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL frontend/backend protocol). Authentication: Database credentials (connection string or parameters), with optional SSL root certificate upload and optional SSH tunnel (SSH user + host); a least-privilege DB user. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Folk CRM: The API surface covers people, companies, groups, deals, notes, reminders, and interactions, plus webhook subscriptions for record events. PostgreSQL: Logical decoding of the write-ahead log (wal_level=logical) provides row-level change capture without adding triggers to user tables. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Folk CRM and PostgreSQL without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Folk CRM and PostgreSQL records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Folk CRM and PostgreSQL connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Folk CRM–PostgreSQL integration in-house.
