Why teams connect Dynamo DB and Front

Mirror Front's data into Dynamo DB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Front through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Dynamo DB.

Stacksync mirrors Messages, Comments, Contacts, Accounts from Front into Items, Attributes, Partition and Sort Keys, Global Secondary Indexes in Dynamo DB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Front, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data into Front contact and account custom fields so it shows next to the conversation.
  • Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
  • Stream item changes from DynamoDB application tables into a Postgres or warehouse copy for SQL analytics.
  • Sync customer records between DynamoDB-backed services and a CRM so support and sales see live application state.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Front with a query

Records from Front are ordinary rows in Dynamo DB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Front from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Dynamo DB and Stacksync propagates the change into Front, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Dynamo DB 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.

Dynamo DB objects Front objects
DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync. Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting.
Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region. Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs.
Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently. Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context.
Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs. Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts.
Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel.
Partition and Sort Keys The primary key pair used as the match key for bi-directional sync. Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics.
