Why teams connect Front and Servicemax

Stop re-entering the same information in Front and Servicemax: Stacksync keeps the records they share consistent in real time, in both directions.

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 Tags, Teammates, Channels, Conversations in Front with Accounts, Contacts, Cases, Products in Servicemax 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.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed CSAT and SLA reporting from synced conversation events rather than manual exports.
  • 02 Sync conversations, messages, and tags into Postgres for response-time and volume analytics across inboxes.
  • 03 Sync Work Orders (SVMXC__Service_Order__c) and Work Details bi-directionally with Postgres so ops and analytics teams read and write field-service data in plain SQL.
  • 04 Keep Installed Products (SVMXC__Installed_Product__c) aligned with an asset or IoT database for warranty, entitlement, and service-history reporting.

Common sync patterns

Handoffs between teams

When work started in one tool continues in the other, the shared fields travel with it automatically.

Where both tools track people or companies: one consistent record

Contact and company details corrected in either tool update the other, so nobody works from the old version.

Where one tool produces events: mirror them in the other

Payments, replies, messages, or tickets created in one tool can create or update matching records in the other, keeping context in one place.

What you can sync between Front and Servicemax

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 Servicemax objects How this pairing syncs
Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context. Contacts Standard Salesforce Contact; people linked to Accounts and service sites; synced with CRM and support person records. 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. Accounts Standard Salesforce Account; customer and site company records; synced two-way with CRM and database customer tables. 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.
Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel. Work Details SVMXC__Service_Order_Line__c; line items on a Work Order for labor, parts used, and expenses; read out for billing or written back with usage. Inboxes is specific to Front and Work Details to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics. Installed Products SVMXC__Installed_Product__c; the installed-base asset record driving entitlement and service history; synced with asset and IoT databases. Tags is specific to Front and Installed Products to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. Service Contracts SVMXC__Service_Contract__c; coverage and entitlement agreements; synced to warehouses for renewal, SLA, and warranty reporting. Teammates is specific to Front and Service Contracts to Servicemax — 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. Stock History SVMXC__Stock_History__c; append-only log of inventory transactions (RMA, shipment, parts receipt); read out for parts and inventory analytics. Channels is specific to Front and Stock History to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Front and Servicemax

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 Servicemax 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 Servicemax through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Servicemax Front Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Servicemax are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Salesforce mechanisms — Apex triggers or polling on SystemModstamp/LastModifiedDate, with Change Data Capture / Platform Events available per object.

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.
  • Servicemax: Governed by the Salesforce org-wide daily API request allocation, shared across all integrations and scaled by edition and license count.
