Why teams connect Intercom and Salesmate

Run Intercom and Salesmate 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 Tags, Segments, Admins & Teams, Articles in Intercom with Deals, Activities, Pipelines and Stages, Products in Salesmate 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 Keep custom data attributes updated from billing or ERP systems so message segments reflect current plan and spend
  • 02 Route qualified leads from Intercom conversations into the CRM as leads or opportunities in near real time
  • 03 Sync Salesmate contacts and deals into a Postgres database or warehouse so SMB teams can report outside the CRM.
  • 04 Keep contact segments aligned bi-directionally with an email marketing platform.

Common sync patterns

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.

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.
