Why teams connect Anaplan and Front

Connect the financial records in Anaplan with the work happening in Front, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.

Anaplan holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Front is where part of the day-to-day work happens, and that work often involves the same customers and transactions. Without a live connection, the two drift apart, and people end up answering questions from stale copies.

Stacksync keeps Models, Modules, Line Items, Lists in Anaplan and Tags, Teammates, Channels, Conversations in Front in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Front keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Anaplan is mapped field by field, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds.

There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

Common use cases

  • Export forecast versions to a warehouse for variance reporting against actuals.
  • Load actuals from an ERP or warehouse into Anaplan modules so forecasts start from current financials.
  • Feed CSAT and SLA reporting from synced conversation events rather than manual exports.
  • Sync conversations, messages, and tags into Postgres for response-time and volume analytics across inboxes.

Where Front collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Anaplan

Payment and charge activity flows into Anaplan as it happens, so the books reflect reality without manual reconciliation.

Where Front tracks people or companies: one identity

A customer's details updated in either system update the other, so finance and the rest of the business stop maintaining two versions of the same customer.

Where Front is a docs or knowledge workspace: reference data kept fresh

Figures teams rely on, like customer status or outstanding balances, stay current wherever Front surfaces them instead of going stale after a one-time paste.

What you can sync between Anaplan and Front

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.

Anaplan objects Front objects
Modules Multidimensional grids of line items where plan data lives; the main read/write surface. Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel.
Line Items The measures within a module, mapped to columns or metrics in syncs. Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics.
Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting.
List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from.
Versions Scenario dimensions (actual, budget, forecast) that scope which slice a sync reads or writes. Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics.
Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting.
