Why teams connect Freshworks CRM and SendGrid

Sync what happens in SendGrid 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 SendGrid 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 Unsubscribe Groups, Email Activity, Contacts, List in SendGrid to Tasks, Appointments, Sales activities, Lists in Freshworks CRM with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in SendGrid update the matching contact or account in Freshworks CRM, and CRM data flows the other way wherever SendGrid can store and use it.

Common use cases

  • Write bounces, spam reports, and unsubscribes back to the CRM to keep email opt-in status accurate everywhere
  • Stream Event Webhook engagement data into a Postgres database or warehouse for campaign and deliverability reporting
  • 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.
