Why teams connect Intercom and Seismic

Run Intercom and Seismic 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 Contacts, Companies, Conversations, Tickets in Intercom with Library Content, Content Versions, Users, User Groups in Seismic 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 Sync contacts and companies bi-directionally with the CRM so support sees deal context and sales sees conversation history
  • 02 Push product usage events from an application database into Intercom to trigger onboarding and retention messages
  • 03 Provision and deactivate Seismic Users and User Groups from an HRIS or IdP so content access mirrors joiner, mover, and leaver changes.
  • 04 Extract content-interaction and LiveSend engagement from the Reporting API v2 into a warehouse to tie asset views to CRM Opportunities.

Common sync patterns

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.

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.

What you can sync between Intercom and Seismic

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.

Intercom objects Seismic objects How this pairing syncs
Contacts A single contact model covers both users and leads, distinguished by a role attribute. LiveSend Links Trackable content-share links created via the engagement API; their open and view engagement is read back through Reporting. Contacts is specific to Intercom and LiveSend Links to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Companies Company records group contacts and carry plan and account attributes used in segmentation. Digital Sales Rooms Buyer-facing microsites (DSRs); lifecycle and content-change events surface via webhooks, currently marked Early Access. Companies is specific to Intercom and Digital Sales Rooms to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Conversations Support and sales threads sync outward for analytics and CRM context. Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. Conversations is specific to Intercom and Reporting Activities to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tickets Structured ticket records track issues alongside conversational threads. Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. Tickets is specific to Intercom and Library Content to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data Events Behavioral events pushed in from product databases trigger messages and flows. Content Versions Version history for a library item; new versions upload via API and old ones expire, with events firing on ContentManager webhooks. Data Events is specific to Intercom and Content Versions to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Data Attributes Typed custom fields on contacts and companies hold synced billing and usage data. Users User records managed through SCIM 2.0 and legacy user endpoints; created, updated, and deactivated for provisioning sync. Custom Data Attributes is specific to Intercom and Users to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Intercom and Seismic

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.

Intercom Seismic Sub-second propagation

DetectionIntercom notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook topic subscriptions for contact, company, and conversation events, plus polling for backfill.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Seismic through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Seismic Intercom Sub-second propagation

DetectionSeismic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for content, version, user, group, workflow, DSR, and LiveSend events.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Intercom through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Intercom: Subject to per-app rate limits on the Intercom API.
  • Seismic: Tiered per-endpoint limits over a rolling 60-second window; exceeding returns HTTP 429, with X-Seismic-Remaining-Calls and X-Seismic-Total-Calls headers.
