Why teams connect Insightly and Intercom

Run Insightly and Intercom side by side with the same accounts and contacts in both, whether they serve different teams or one is replacing the other.

Two CRMs in one company is more common than anyone plans for: an acquisition brings its own system, regions or business units standardize differently, or a migration is under way and both are live. In every case, some of the same companies and people exist in both systems, and every day of manual double entry pushes the copies further apart.

Stacksync syncs Products, Custom Fields, Contacts, Organizations in Insightly with Articles, Contacts, Companies, Conversations in Intercom in real time and in both directions, with field-level mapping and matching on identifiers you choose. Update a record in either CRM and the other reflects it within seconds.

Common use cases

  • Deduplicate and align customer records between Insightly and an ERP or invoicing system
  • Two-way sync of Insightly contacts and organizations with a marketing automation platform
  • Route qualified leads from Intercom conversations into the CRM as leads or opportunities in near real time
  • Sync contacts and companies bi-directionally with the CRM so support sees deal context and sales sees conversation history

Divisional or regional split

Where each CRM serves a different team or region, sync just the shared accounts and contacts so handoffs and cross-sell work.

Where both track pipeline: deal visibility across systems

Deal stage and value on shared accounts stay visible from either CRM.

Post-acquisition consolidation

Keep both CRMs accurate while the merged team decides on a target system, instead of freezing one and losing months of updates.
