Why teams connect Freshworks CRM and Recurly

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between Recurly and Freshworks CRM in real time, so sales sees the money and finance sees the relationship.

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Freshworks CRM knows the relationship: who the contacts are and what is in motion with the account. Recurly knows the money: what was invoiced, what was paid, what is overdue. When the two are connected only by exports, each side works partly blind.

Stacksync links Measured Units and Usage, Accounts, Subscriptions, Plans in Recurly to Deals, Tasks, Appointments, Sales activities in Freshworks CRM with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, updated billing details, invoice status, and payment activity move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. The result is one version of each customer, visible from both sides.

Common use cases

  • 01 Post usage records to Measured Units on metered Subscriptions from a metering database before each bill run.
  • 02 Sync Accounts and Subscriptions bi-directionally with Postgres so product and provisioning systems read live entitlement state and write plan or seat changes back to Recurly.
  • 03 Mirror deal and activity data into a Postgres database that internal tools query directly.
  • 04 Sync unified contact records, covering sales and marketing attributes, into a warehouse for full-funnel reporting.

Common sync patterns

Payment status on the account

Invoice and payment status from Recurly appears on the account in Freshworks CRM, so reps see overdue balances before they promise the next order.

Billing detail changes flow back

When a contact or address is corrected in Freshworks CRM, Recurly gets the update before the next invoice goes out.

Collections with context

Finance sees the account owner and relationship history from Freshworks CRM when chasing a balance, and sales sees that the chase is happening.

What you can sync between Freshworks CRM and Recurly

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.

Freshworks CRM objects Recurly objects How this pairing syncs
Accounts Company records kept consistent with ERP and billing systems. Accounts Customer/billing entity records keyed by account_code; the anchor most subscriptions and invoices hang off. Synced two-way with CRM accounts or a customer database. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Notes Context records attached to contacts, accounts, and deals. Billing Info Tokenized payment method (card/ACH) on an account; written when onboarding customers and read for payment-health signals (never stores raw card numbers). Notes is specific to Freshworks CRM and Billing Info to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Unified sales-and-marketing person records; the core entity for bidirectional syncs. Measured Units and Usage Metered-billing units; usage records are posted to a subscription before each bill run for consumption-based pricing. Contacts is specific to Freshworks CRM and Measured Units and Usage to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Deals Pipeline records synced out for forecasting and full-funnel reporting. Subscriptions Recurring subscription records tied to an Account and a Plan, with state, term, and next-bill date. Core object, synced two-way to drive provisioning and reporting. Deals is specific to Freshworks CRM and Subscriptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tasks Follow-ups created from external signals such as product usage events. Plans The product and pricing catalog (plan codes, intervals, add-ons); usually mastered in Recurly and read out, or mirrored from a product database. Tasks is specific to Freshworks CRM and Plans to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Appointments Meeting records readable for activity reporting. Invoices Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges.

How changes propagate between Freshworks CRM and Recurly

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.

Freshworks CRM Recurly Sub-second propagation

DetectionFreshworks CRM notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with updated-at filters.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Recurly through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Recurly Freshworks CRM Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Freshworks CRM through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Freshworks CRM: Subject to per-account API rate limits that vary by plan.
  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
