Why teams connect Freshworks CRM and Front

Sync what happens in Front with the customer records in Freshworks CRM, 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 Front 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 Comments, Contacts, Accounts, Inboxes in Front to Notes, Contacts, Accounts, Deals in Freshworks CRM with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Front update the matching contact or account in Freshworks CRM, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Front can store and use it.

Common use cases

  • Sync conversations, messages, and tags into Postgres for response-time and volume analytics across inboxes.
  • Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data into Front contact and account custom fields so it shows next to the conversation.
  • Sync unified contact records, covering sales and marketing attributes, into a warehouse for full-funnel reporting.
  • Push scored leads from a data platform into Freshworks CRM and route them by lifecycle stage.

Where Front handles support or shared inboxes

Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in Freshworks CRM, so sales sees open issues before the next call.

Where Front supplies contact or company data

Enriched fields land directly on records in Freshworks CRM, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

Where Front can store CRM context: fields kept current

Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Freshworks CRM sync into Front, so people working there have the context without switching tools.
