Why teams connect Front and Nutshell

Sync what happens in Front with the customer records in Nutshell, 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 Accounts, Inboxes, Tags, Teammates in Front to Tags, Users, Leads, People in Nutshell with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Front update the matching contact or account in Nutshell, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Front can store and use it.

Common use cases

  • Mirror conversations tagged for escalation into engineering trackers through the synced database.
  • Feed CSAT and SLA reporting from synced conversation events rather than manual exports.
  • Push closed-won leads to accounting software to trigger invoicing automatically.
  • Keep People and Companies consistent between Nutshell and email marketing or outreach tools.

Where Front handles support or shared inboxes

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

Where Front supplies contact or company data

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

Where Front can store CRM context: fields kept current

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