Why teams connect Azure Synapse Analytics and Front

Get the data locked inside Front into Azure Synapse Analytics as live tables, and send results back where Front can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Front is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Contacts, Accounts, Inboxes, Tags from Front into tables in Azure Synapse Analytics continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Azure Synapse Analytics can also be written back into fields in Front where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 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.
  • Publish warehouse aggregates (account health scores, LTV) from Synapse back into operational tools like a CRM.
  • Sync curated Synapse views into an operational Postgres or Azure SQL database that applications can query cheaply.

Where Front accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Azure Synapse Analytics sync back onto records in Front, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Azure Synapse Analytics preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Front or gets changed inside it.

Analytics on Front's data

Records and events from Front land in Azure Synapse Analytics as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

What you can sync between Azure Synapse Analytics 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.

Azure Synapse Analytics objects Front objects
External tables Tables over files in the data lake, queried through serverless SQL and often read-only in syncs. Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics.
Views Curated projections used when downstream tools should not read base tables directly. Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting.
Schemas Namespaces that separate staging, integration, and presentation layers. Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs.
Materialized views Precomputed aggregates that speed reads of frequently synced result sets. Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context.
SQL pools Dedicated or serverless compute contexts that determine how and where queries run. Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts.
Tables (dedicated SQL pool) Distributed warehouse tables that serve as sync destinations for analytics workloads. Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel.
