Why teams connect Front and Sharepoint

Land the records and documents that build up in Front into Sharepoint as they are created, and surface Sharepoint's file details on the Front records that point to them, without an export job to maintain.

Front and Sharepoint hold different kinds of data. Front carries records and the activity around them — the tickets, messages, orders, or issues a team works through, often with documents attached. Sharepoint holds files and the metadata that describes them. Where the two meet is narrow but real: much of what Front produces has to be kept somewhere durable, and many of the files Sharepoint stores are the very documents Front's records point to.

Stacksync syncs Inboxes, Tags, Teammates, Channels in Front with Permissions and sharing, Site pages, Sites, Lists in Sharepoint in real time. Records and attachments created in Front are written into Sharepoint as objects or files within seconds of being created. In the other direction, the metadata Sharepoint keeps about those files — name, location, owner, modified date — flows back onto the matching record in Front, so people see the current document without leaving the tool. Field-level mapping controls exactly what crosses over and in which direction, so you keep a durable copy of what matters without an extract to schedule or a nightly dump that leaves the copy a day behind.

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 list columns and content types so database fields map onto SharePoint list fields and schema stays aligned as either side changes.
  • 04 Provision site and item permissions and sharing links from an IdP or access-management system so SharePoint access follows onboarding and offboarding.

Common sync patterns

Archive what Front produces into Sharepoint

Records and events from Front — tickets, messages, orders, or issues — are written into Sharepoint as objects or files as they change, giving you a durable, addressable copy for retention and audit.

Where Front generates attachments: keep the files in Sharepoint

Documents attached to records in Front land in the storage system automatically, with the source record holding a link back, so files live in one governed place instead of inside the tool.

Where Sharepoint holds the source documents: file details on the record

A file's name, location, owner, and modified date from Sharepoint sync onto the matching record in Front, so whoever is working there sees the current version without switching tools.

What you can sync between Front and Sharepoint

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 Sharepoint objects How this pairing syncs
Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. Permissions and sharing Role assignments and sharing links on sites, list items, and drive items; read and written to manage access, requiring Sites.Manage.All or Sites.FullControl.All scopes. Teammates is specific to Front and Permissions and sharing to Sharepoint — 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. Site pages Modern site pages via /sites/{id}/pages; read page content, layout, and metadata for indexing and content governance. Channels is specific to Front and Site pages to Sharepoint — 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. Sites SharePoint site collections and subsites via /sites; read site properties and discover the document libraries (drives) and lists each site contains, addressed by hostname and site path or site ID. Conversations is specific to Front and Sites to Sharepoint — 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. Lists Custom lists and libraries via /sites/{id}/lists; create and read lists along with their columns and content types so a target system can mirror or provision list definitions. Messages is specific to Front and Lists to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. List items Rows in a SharePoint list via /lists/{id}/items with a fields facet of column values; full create, read, update, and delete, synced two-way with database rows. Comments is specific to Front and List items to Sharepoint — 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. Drive items (document libraries) Files and folders in a library's drive via /drives and /drive/root; upload, download, move, delete, and read per-item metadata, synced two-way with a store. Contacts is specific to Front and Drive items (document libraries) to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Front and Sharepoint

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

Sharepoint Front Sub-second propagation

DetectionSharepoint notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Delta query (pull) tracks created, updated, and deleted list items (/lists/{id}/items/delta) and drive items (/drives/{id}/root/delta) since the last.

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.
  • Sharepoint: SharePoint Online throttles per app, returning HTTP 429 (or 503) with a Retry-After header in seconds and IETF RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining, and RateLimit-Reset headers; throttled requests still count toward limits, so clients honor the greater of Retry-After and RateLimit-Reset with exponential backoff.

Sharepoint

Integration surface
Microsoft Graph REST API (graph.microsoft.com/v1.0 and beta) covering SharePoint sites, lists, list items, columns, content types, and document-library drives and drive items; plus the classic SharePoint REST API (_api/web) and CSOM. Supports Graph JSON $batch (up to 20 requests per call).
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform (Microsoft Entra ID). An app registration holds delegated or application (app-only) scopes such as Sites.Read.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All, Sites.Selected, Sites.Manage.All, or Sites.FullControl.All, plus Files.ReadWrite.All for drive content; application permissions require tenant admin consent.
Change detection
Delta query (pull) tracks created, updated, and deleted list items (/lists/{id}/items/delta) and drive items (/drives/{id}/root/delta) since the last deltaLink; change-notification subscriptions (push webhooks) POST near-real-time notifications for list and drive/root changes to a notification URL and must be renewed before they expire. Classic SharePoint list webhooks are also available.
