Why teams connect Close and GitHub

Sync what happens in GitHub with the customer records in Close, in real time and in both directions.

The CRM is supposed to be the record of every customer relationship, but customer-relevant information also accumulates in the other tools a team runs. Whatever GitHub holds or produces that touches a customer, whether conversations, payments, replies, enriched data, or notes, the CRM only benefits if it arrives without someone copying it over.

Stacksync connects Organizations and Teams, Users, Labels and Milestones, Repositories in GitHub to Custom Fields, Users, Smart Views, Leads in Close with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in GitHub update the matching contact or account in Close, and CRM data flows the other way wherever GitHub can store and use it.

Common use cases

  • Two-way sync of GitHub issues with Jira, Linear, or a support system so engineering and customer-facing teams work in their own tools.
  • Mirror repository, PR, and workflow-run data into a Postgres database for engineering-metrics reporting.
  • Keep Close contacts aligned with a marketing automation platform so outreach lists stay current.
  • Push call, SMS, and email activity data into a warehouse for rep performance and outreach-cadence analysis.

Where GitHub supplies contact or company data

Enriched fields land directly on records in Close, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

Where GitHub can store CRM context: fields kept current

Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Close sync into GitHub, so people working there have the context without switching tools.

Where GitHub handles support or shared inboxes

Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in Close, so sales sees open issues before the next call.

What you can sync between Close and GitHub
