Two-way sync
Changes in Front or SendGrid instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Keep Front and SendGrid in sync without custom scripts. Cut weeks of integration work, eliminate silent data drift, and give your team a single, reliable source of truth.
Two tools in the daily stack often hold overlapping information: the same people, the same companies, or the same pieces of work, described twice. The tools do different jobs, so consolidating is not the answer; the overlap just needs to stop drifting.
Stacksync syncs Inboxes, Tags, Teammates, Channels in Front with Senders, Single Sends, Unsubscribe Groups, Email Activity in SendGrid in real time. You choose which records overlap, map the fields that should match, and pick a direction or let changes flow both ways. From then on, an update made in either tool is reflected in the other within seconds, without exports or copy-paste.
Because the sync is field-level, each tool keeps its own extras; only the shared data is held in agreement.
Information that originates in Front stays current in SendGrid instead of going stale after a one-time paste.
When work started in one tool continues in the other, the shared fields travel with it automatically.
Contact and company details corrected in either tool update the other, so nobody works from the old version.
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 | SendGrid objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context. | Contacts Marketing recipients upserted from CRM or database records, including custom field values. | 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. | |
| Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts. | Unsubscribe Groups Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Accounts is specific to Front and Unsubscribe Groups to SendGrid — 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. | Email Activity Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Inboxes is specific to Front and Email Activity to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics. | List Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Tags is specific to Front and List to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. | Segments Query-based contact groups whose membership SendGrid computes from contact fields. | Teammates is specific to Front and Segments to SendGrid — 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. | Categories Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Channels is specific to Front and Categories to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
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.
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 SendGrid through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
DetectionSendGrid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Webhook posts delivery and engagement events (processed, delivered, open, click, bounce, spam report) to an HTTP endpoint.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Front through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Real-time sync, workflow automation, event queues, EDI, and monitoring, for every Front–SendGrid connection.
Changes in Front or SendGrid instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Trigger automated workflows whenever Front or SendGrid data changes, update records, fire webhooks, or kick off sequences without brittle API scripts.
Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single Front or SendGrid record.
Track your Front ⇄ SendGrid sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.
Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Front and SendGrid.
Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.
Authenticate Front and SendGrid with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
Pick the Front and SendGrid objects to sync — Stacksync auto-detects both schemas, including custom fields where the platform exposes them. Sync to existing tables, or let Stacksync create new ones with ideal data types.
Fields map automatically even when names and types differ. Stacksync handles transformation and type casting for you, zero configuration required.
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Front and SendGrid: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Front's Contacts and Accounts), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
On the Front side: Inboxes, Tags, Teammates, Channels, plus custom fields where Front exposes them. On the SendGrid side: Senders, Single Sends, Unsubscribe Groups, Email Activity. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
Common patterns for Front and SendGrid: Where SendGrid is where the team documents or plans: keep its data fed; Handoffs between teams; Where both tools track people or companies: one consistent record. Information that originates in Front stays current in SendGrid instead of going stale after a one-time paste.
Front: REST API (Core API). Authentication: OAuth authorization via the Stacksync UI ("Connections" > "create new connection" > "Front" > "Authorize") — no coding required. SendGrid: REST API (v3). Authentication: API key (create in SendGrid Settings > API Keys with Custom Access / Full Access for the objects to sync; key begins with "SG"). Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
Front: Object coverage is limited to 4 objects (Accounts, Contacts, Contact Groups, Events). SendGrid: Email Activity access requires an add-on subscription in SendGrid; without it the Email Activity API is not available. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Front and SendGrid without custom code.
