Why teams connect Front and Google Cloud SQL

Mirror Front's data into Google Cloud SQL so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Front through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Google Cloud SQL.

Stacksync mirrors Teammates, Channels, Conversations, Messages from Front into Tables, Rows, Views, Transaction logs in Google Cloud SQL and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Front, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Feed CSAT and SLA reporting from synced conversation events rather than manual exports.
  • Sync conversations, messages, and tags into Postgres for response-time and volume analytics across inboxes.
  • Keep an internal admin application backed by Cloud SQL consistent with an ERP or billing system.
  • Migrate from a self-managed database by syncing Cloud SQL and the legacy system during cutover.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Front with a query

Records from Front are ordinary rows in Google Cloud SQL; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Front from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Google Cloud SQL and Stacksync propagates the change into Front, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Front and Google Cloud SQL

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.

Front objects Google Cloud SQL objects
Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics. Tables Mapped directly to sync targets; schema changes can be propagated.
Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting. Rows Read and written by primary key during each sync cycle.
Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. Views Read-only sources for shaping data before syncing it out.
Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context. Transaction logs MySQL binlog or PostgreSQL WAL, the source for log-based change capture.
Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts. Instances The managed MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server server a sync connects to.
Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel. Databases Scope the tables included in a sync configuration.
