Why teams connect Drift and Freshsales

Run Drift and Freshsales side by side with the same accounts and contacts in both, whether they serve different teams or one is replacing the other.

Two CRMs in one company is more common than anyone plans for: an acquisition brings its own system, regions or business units standardize differently, or a migration is under way and both are live. In every case, some of the same companies and people exist in both systems, and every day of manual double entry pushes the copies further apart.

Stacksync syncs Messages, Accounts, Users, Playbooks in Drift with Products, Contacts, Accounts, Deals in Freshsales in real time and in both directions, with field-level mapping and matching on identifiers you choose. Update a record in either CRM and the other reflects it within seconds.

Common use cases

  • Sync Drift-captured contacts into the CRM so chat-sourced leads enter standard sales workflows immediately.
  • Land conversation transcripts and outcomes in a warehouse for funnel and chat-to-pipeline analysis.
  • Push product-qualified leads from the warehouse into Freshsales as contacts with lifecycle stages set.
  • Keep Freshsales accounts aligned with a billing system so plan and revenue fields stay current.

Where both track pipeline: deal visibility across systems

Deal stage and value on shared accounts stay visible from either CRM.

Post-acquisition consolidation

Keep both CRMs accurate while the merged team decides on a target system, instead of freezing one and losing months of updates.

Migration with a parallel run

When one CRM is replacing the other, run both fully live until cutover, with no snapshot gap and no data freeze.
