Why teams connect Front and Nimble

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

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror conversations tagged for escalation into engineering trackers through the synced database.
  • 02 Feed CSAT and SLA reporting from synced conversation events rather than manual exports.
  • 03 Push product usage or billing flags from internal databases into Nimble custom fields so reps have context before outreach.
  • 04 Keep deals aligned between Nimble and an accounting system so invoicing starts when a deal closes.

Common sync patterns

Where Front supplies contact or company data

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

Where Front can store CRM context: fields kept current

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

Where Front handles support or shared inboxes

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

What you can sync between Front and Nimble

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 Nimble objects How this pairing syncs
Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context. Contacts Person records with multi-value fields for email, phone, and social profiles; the primary sync entity 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.
Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics. Tags Segmentation labels that map to list membership or filters in downstream systems Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. Companies Stored as contact records with a company record type, so they sync through the same contacts resource Teammates is specific to Front and Companies to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from. Deals Pipeline records linked to contacts, synced to keep revenue systems aligned with sales activity Channels is specific to Front and Deals to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics. Tasks To-do items tied to contacts, mirrored into work-management tools or reporting tables Conversations is specific to Front and Tasks to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting. Activities Calls, events, and interaction history used for engagement reporting outside Nimble Messages is specific to Front and Activities to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Front and Nimble

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.

Front Nimble Sub-second propagation

DetectionFront notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Application webhooks and rule-triggered webhooks, with the events endpoint available for polling.

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

Nimble Front Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Nimble for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on record modification timestamps.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Front: Request limits vary by plan.
  • Nimble: Subject to per-account API request quotas.
