Why teams connect Insightly and Nutshell

Run Insightly and Nutshell 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 Leads, Opportunities, Projects, Tasks in Insightly with Companies, Activities, Tasks, Notes in Nutshell 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

  • 01 Replicate opportunities into Postgres or a warehouse so RevOps can report on pipeline with SQL
  • 02 Keep Insightly projects aligned with delivery or PSA tools after opportunities close
  • 03 Write subscription or product data from internal systems into Nutshell so reps see account context.
  • 04 Mirror tasks and activities into ops tools for cross-team visibility.

Common sync patterns

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.

Migration with a parallel run

When one CRM is replacing the other, run both fully live until cutover, with no snapshot gap and no data freeze.
