Why teams connect Insightly and ServiceNow
Sync what happens in ServiceNow with the customer records in Insightly, in real time and in both directions.
The CRM is supposed to be the record of every customer relationship, but customer-relevant information also accumulates in the other tools a team runs. Whatever ServiceNow holds or produces that touches a customer, whether conversations, payments, replies, enriched data, or notes, the CRM only benefits if it arrives without someone copying it over.
Stacksync connects Tasks, Knowledge Articles, Custom Tables, Incidents in ServiceNow to Events, Notes, Products, Custom Fields in Insightly with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in ServiceNow update the matching contact or account in Insightly, and CRM data flows the other way wherever ServiceNow can store and use it.
Common use cases
- 01 Bi-directional sync of incidents with engineering issue trackers so IT and engineering work the same ticket without re-keying
- 02 Keep CMDB configuration items aligned with asset inventories and cloud resource databases
- 03 Keep Insightly projects aligned with delivery or PSA tools after opportunities close
- 04 Write product usage or billing data from internal databases into Insightly custom fields for account context
Common sync patterns
Where ServiceNow supplies contact or company data
Enriched fields land directly on records in Insightly, and refreshes keep them from going stale.
Where ServiceNow can store CRM context: fields kept current
Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Insightly sync into ServiceNow, so people working there have the context without switching tools.
Where ServiceNow handles support or shared inboxes
Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in Insightly, so sales sees open issues before the next call.
What you can sync between Insightly and ServiceNow
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.
| Insightly objects | ServiceNow objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tasks Activity records keep follow-ups consistent across systems. | Tasks The base task table that incidents, changes, and requests extend. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Opportunities Pipeline records feed forecasting and warehouse-based reporting. | Problems Root-cause records linked to incidents, useful in cross-system reporting. | Opportunities is specific to Insightly and Problems to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Projects Delivery records created from won opportunities sync with PSA and task tools. | Service Catalog Requests Requested items and approvals that often trigger provisioning in other systems. | Projects is specific to Insightly and Service Catalog Requests to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Events Calendar items sync for a complete activity timeline. | Configuration Items (CMDB) Asset and infrastructure records synced with discovery tools and asset databases. | Events is specific to Insightly and Configuration Items (CMDB) to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Notes Free-text context attaches to synced records for downstream visibility. | Users and Groups Sys_user and group tables synced with HR systems and identity providers. | Notes is specific to Insightly and Users and Groups to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Products Product catalog entries support line-item syncing on opportunities and quotes. | Knowledge Articles Support content that can be mirrored to help centers or search indexes. | Products is specific to Insightly and Knowledge Articles to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Insightly and ServiceNow
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.
Insightly ServiceNow Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Insightly for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on record updated-date fields.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to ServiceNow through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
ServiceNow Insightly Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls ServiceNow for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on sys_updated_on timestamps.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Insightly through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Insightly: Daily API request caps vary by Insightly plan.
- ServiceNow: Subject to instance-level API rate limits and concurrency semaphores configured by administrators.

Insightly: REST API (versioned). Authentication: API key sent via HTTP Basic authentication. ServiceNow: REST API (Table, Import Set, and Aggregate APIs); SOAP remains for legacy integrations. Authentication: OAuth 2.0 or basic authentication against the instance. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
ServiceNow: Reference fields return sys_ids by default; the sysparm_display_value parameter switches to human-readable values, which affects field mapping. Insightly: The API authenticates with a per-user API key passed over HTTP Basic authentication rather than an OAuth flow. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Insightly and ServiceNow without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Insightly and ServiceNow records are not retained after a sync operation.
