Why teams connect Front and Openai

Flow Openai data into Front in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

Openai is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Front, so Front always reflects the current state of Openai — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Openai works on data it does not own. The records, conversations, tickets, messages, and events it needs to embed, classify, summarize, or answer questions about actually live in Front, the tool the team uses every day. So the value of Openai depends on two flows that most teams stitch together with a custom script or a one-time export: getting Front's data in, and getting the model's results back out to where people can act on them. When either flow runs on a batch or a stale snapshot, the model reasons over yesterday's data and its output never reaches the record it belongs to.

Stacksync syncs Contacts, Accounts, Inboxes, Tags from Front into Openai continuously, so the model always works from current records instead of a snapshot, and writes Audit logs, Models, Fine-tuning jobs, Files, the scores, labels, summaries, drafts, and embedding metadata Openai produces, back onto the matching record in Front. The sync is field-level and keyed on a stable identifier, so every output attaches to the exact record it came from and each system keeps its own extra fields untouched.

You decide the direction and the trigger conditions per field: pull records one way to build and keep a retrieval corpus current, push results the other way onto the operational record, or both.

Common use cases

  • 01 Pull Administration Usage and Costs into a warehouse for FinOps chargeback, per-project budget tracking, and spend-tier planning.
  • 02 Mirror organization Projects, members, and service accounts into a database as an auditable access inventory for security reviews.
  • 03 Feed CSAT and SLA reporting from synced conversation events rather than manual exports.
  • 04 Sync conversations, messages, and tags into Postgres for response-time and volume analytics across inboxes.

Common sync patterns

Where Openai classifies or scores: results land on the record

Categories, sentiment, priority, or scores produced by Openai write back onto the matching record in Front, so the team acts on them in the tool they already use.

Where Openai generates text: drafts and summaries where the work happens

Summaries, suggested replies, or generated content from Openai sync onto the Front record as a field or note, ready for a person to review before it goes out.

Every output routes back to the right record

Because each item is matched on a stable identifier, an Openai result always attaches to the record in Front it was computed from, with no manual reconciliation.

What you can sync between Front and Openai

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 Openai objects How this pairing syncs
Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. Fine-tuning jobs Training jobs with status, base model, hyperparameters, trained-model name, and result files; status received by webhook or polled from queued through succeeded or failed. Teammates is specific to Front and Fine-tuning jobs to Openai — 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. Files Uploaded training, validation, and batch-input files plus generated output files; listed and read by ID, not written back as business records in sync. Channels is specific to Front and Files to Openai — 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. Batch jobs Asynchronous bulk-inference jobs within a 24-hour window, with status and output/error file IDs; completion detected by the batch.completed webhook or by polling. Conversations is specific to Front and Batch jobs to Openai — 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. Vector stores File collections backing file-search retrieval, with name, file counts, usage bytes, and status; read as a metadata inventory of retrieval assets. Messages is specific to Front and Vector stores to Openai — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. Usage & Costs Per-model and per-project token, request, and dollar figures from the Administration Usage and Costs endpoints, read for FinOps chargeback and spend reporting. Comments is specific to Front and Usage & Costs to Openai — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context. Projects & Members Organization projects, their members, and service accounts from the Administration API; read as an access-and-ownership inventory. Contacts is specific to Front and Projects & Members to Openai — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Front and Openai

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 Openai 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.

DeliveryOpenai does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Openai's output flows back as field updates on the originating Front records.

Openai Front Sub-second propagation

DetectionOpenai notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Push webhooks (Standard Webhooks spec, whsec_ signing secret) fire on batch.completed, fine_tuning.job.succeeded/failed, response.completed/failed,.

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.
  • Openai: Rate limits are set per organization and per project as RPM/RPD and TPM/TPD and rise across five spend-based usage tiers; responses carry x-ratelimit-remaining headers and return HTTP 429 on breach.
