Why teams connect ClickHouse and Front

Get the data locked inside Front into ClickHouse 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 Messages, Comments, Contacts, Accounts from Front into tables in ClickHouse continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in ClickHouse can also be written back into fields in Front where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
  • Mirror conversations tagged for escalation into engineering trackers through the synced database.
  • Land product event data alongside synced CRM accounts so analysts join usage and revenue in one place.
  • Sync aggregated ClickHouse query results back into operational tools, such as account-level usage metrics into a CRM.

Analytics on Front's data

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

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Front's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

Where Front accepts updates: operational write-back

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

What you can sync between ClickHouse 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.

ClickHouse objects Front objects
Distributed tables Query-routing tables over cluster shards in self-managed deployments. Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel.
Dictionaries In-memory lookup structures refreshed from external sources, sometimes fed by syncs. Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics.
Tables (MergeTree family) Columnar, append-optimized tables that serve as the destination for high-volume sync loads. Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting.
Databases Namespaces that group tables and scope permissions for sync users. Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from.
Views Saved queries used as curated, read-only sync sources. Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics.
Materialized views Insert-time transformations that reshape incoming synced rows into aggregates. Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting.
