Why teams connect AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Intercom

Treat Intercom like part of your database: its records live in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Conversations, Tickets, Data Events, Custom Data Attributes from Intercom into Rows, Columns, Primary keys and constraints, Views and materialized views in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Intercom with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • Push product usage events from an application database into Intercom to trigger onboarding and retention messages
  • Mirror conversations and tickets into a warehouse for support analytics and SLA reporting
  • Expose ERP records such as customers, orders, and invoices as Postgres tables the engineering team can query and update with plain SQL.
  • Capture row-level changes with logical replication and propagate them to SaaS tools without batch jobs.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL sync onto the matching records in Intercom, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Intercom API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Intercom arrive as row changes in AWS Aurora PostgreSQL, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and Intercom

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.

AWS Aurora PostgreSQL objects Intercom objects
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted in both directions during bi-directional syncs. Custom Data Attributes Typed custom fields on contacts and companies hold synced billing and usage data.
Columns Rich Postgres types including JSONB and arrays are mapped to the paired system's fields. Tags Labels applied to contacts, companies, and conversations sync for routing and reporting.
Primary keys and constraints Identify rows for upserts and enforce integrity on sync writes. Segments Saved audience definitions are readable for targeting parity across tools.
Views and materialized views Usable as read-only sources for filtered or precomputed sync datasets. Admins & Teams Teammate records map conversation ownership to CRM users.
Foreign keys Relationship metadata that syncs can translate into object references elsewhere. Articles Help center content is accessible via API for knowledge sync and audits.
Replication slots and publications The logical replication objects that power log-based CDC. Contacts A single contact model covers both users and leads, distinguished by a role attribute.
