Why teams connect Front and SAP Hana

Mirror Front's data into SAP Hana 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 SAP Hana.

Stacksync mirrors Conversations, Messages, Comments, Contacts from Front into Schemas, Sequences, Triggers, System-versioned temporal tables in SAP Hana 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

  • 01 Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
  • 02 Mirror conversations tagged for escalation into engineering trackers through the synced database.
  • 03 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.
  • 04 Detect inserts, updates, and deletes on high-write tables via AFTER triggers or a last-modified column and replicate the deltas downstream near-real-time.

Common sync patterns

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Front arrive as row changes in SAP Hana, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

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 SAP Hana; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Front and SAP Hana

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 SAP Hana objects How this pairing syncs
Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting. Column store tables HANA's default table type, optimized for analytics; synced two-way as rows over the SQL interface with the primary key driving upserts and delete tracking. Messages is specific to Front and Column store tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. Row store tables OLTP-oriented tables held fully in memory; read and written the same way through the SAP HANA client for high-write operational tables. Comments is specific to Front and Row store tables to SAP Hana — 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. Calculation views Modeled analytic views over base tables; read-only sources for pushing aggregated or joined results into a warehouse or downstream app. Contacts is specific to Front and Calculation views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts. SQL views Standard database views; read-only projections synced outbound when the source data should not be exposed as raw base tables. Accounts is specific to Front and SQL views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel. Schemas Namespaces that group tables and views; the connector targets a schema and enumerates its objects from the catalog to build the sync. Inboxes is specific to Front and Schemas to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics. Sequences Server-generated key values; relevant when writing rows into tables whose identity is assigned HANA-side rather than by the source system. Tags is specific to Front and Sequences to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Front and SAP Hana

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 SAP Hana 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 applied to SAP Hana as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

SAP Hana Front Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SAP Hana are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table.

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.
  • SAP Hana: No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.
