Why teams connect Front and Supabase

Mirror Front's data into Supabase so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Product teams building on Supabase connect Front to mirror customer communications into the Postgres database that powers their application. Front Conversations and Messages sync into Supabase Tables, join against auth.users for identity, and stay governed by Row Level Security Policies like any other application data.

Stacksync mirrors Messages, Comments, Contacts, Accounts from Front into Views, Schemas, auth.users, Row Level Security Policies in Supabase 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 Show a customer's Front support history inside the product, scoped by Row Level Security Policies.
  • 02 Trigger in-app behavior from new Front Messages using standard Postgres tooling on Supabase.
  • 03 Build admin Views over Front Inboxes without maintaining API integration code.
  • 04 Mirror conversations tagged for escalation into engineering trackers through the synced database.

Common sync patterns

Conversation tables in Postgres

Front Conversations, Messages, and Comments replicate into Supabase Tables for in-app display and queries.

User identity join

Front Contacts match to Supabase auth.users so support history attaches to the right application account.

Flexible payloads

Front Message metadata lands in Supabase JSONB Columns, queryable without a rigid schema migration.

What you can sync between Front and Supabase

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 Supabase objects How this pairing syncs
Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads such as event properties or nested objects. Channels is specific to Front and JSONB Columns to Supabase — 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. Database Functions Postgres functions that can transform or validate synced rows. Conversations is specific to Front and Database Functions to Supabase — 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. Storage Object Metadata File metadata rows that can be joined to synced application data. Messages is specific to Front and Storage Object Metadata to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target. Comments is specific to Front and Tables to Supabase — 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. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Contacts is specific to Front and Views to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts. Schemas Namespaces (public and custom) that scope sync access. Accounts is specific to Front and Schemas to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Front and Supabase

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 Supabase 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 Supabase as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Supabase Front Sub-second propagation

DetectionSupabase pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Log-based CDC via Postgres logical replication, the same WAL feed that powers Supabase Realtime.

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.
  • Supabase: SQL access is bounded by connection limits (pooled connections are provided); the REST layer is subject to the platform's limits.
