Why teams connect Front and Insightly

Sync what happens in Front with the customer records in Insightly, 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 Teammates, Channels, Conversations, Messages in Front to Leads, Opportunities, Projects, Tasks in Insightly with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Front update the matching contact or account in Insightly, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Front can store and use it.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data into Front contact and account custom fields so it shows next to the conversation.
  • 02 Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
  • 03 Two-way sync of Insightly contacts and organizations with a marketing automation platform
  • 04 Replicate opportunities into Postgres or a warehouse so RevOps can report on pipeline with SQL

Common sync patterns
