Why teams connect Folk CRM and YugabyteDB

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

Stacksync mirrors Companies, Groups, Custom fields, Notes from Folk CRM into Materialized Views, Schemas, Sequences, CDC Streams in YugabyteDB 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 Mirror folk groups into a reporting database to track pipeline and outreach coverage.
  • 02 Keep folk and a billing or customer success tool aligned on company records as deals close.
  • 03 Consolidate data from regional YugabyteDB clusters into one reporting store.
  • 04 Run log-based CDC from YugabyteDB tables into a warehouse for analytics without batch dumps.

Common sync patterns

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to YugabyteDB 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.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Folk CRM arrive as row changes in YugabyteDB, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

What you can sync between Folk CRM and YugabyteDB

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 YugabyteDB objects How this pairing syncs
Notes Free-text context attached to people and companies, readable for reporting. Databases and Keyspaces Top-level containers for the YSQL (Postgres-style) and YCQL (Cassandra-style) APIs respectively. Notes is specific to Folk CRM and Databases and Keyspaces to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reminders Follow-up items that can be created from external triggers. Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets. Reminders is specific to Folk CRM and Tables to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People Contact records; the primary entity synced with outreach and enrichment tools. Indexes Global secondary indexes maintained transactionally alongside table writes. People is specific to Folk CRM and Indexes to YugabyteDB — 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. Materialized Views Precomputed query results available in YSQL for read-side shaping. Companies is specific to Folk CRM and Materialized Views to YugabyteDB — 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. Schemas Postgres-style namespaces in YSQL used to organize synced data. Groups is specific to Folk CRM and Schemas to YugabyteDB — 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. Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables. Custom fields is specific to Folk CRM and Sequences to YugabyteDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Folk CRM and YugabyteDB

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 YugabyteDB 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 YugabyteDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

YugabyteDB Folk CRM Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in YugabyteDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Native CDC from the write-ahead log via PostgreSQL logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors.

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.
  • YugabyteDB: No API rate limits; throughput scales with cluster nodes and tablet distribution.
