Why teams connect Folk CRM and InterSystems IRIS

Treat Folk CRM like part of your database: its records live in InterSystems IRIS as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in InterSystems IRIS, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Companies, Groups, Custom fields, Notes from Folk CRM into Globals, Namespaces, Stored Procedures, Tables in InterSystems IRIS with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Folk CRM with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • Push enriched contact data from a data warehouse into folk custom fields.
  • Mirror folk groups into a reporting database to track pipeline and outreach coverage.
  • Sync operational tables in IRIS bi-directionally with a CRM so business teams work on IRIS-backed data without SQL access
  • Consolidate IRIS data with other databases in an analytics warehouse for cross-system reporting

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Folk CRM become tables in InterSystems IRIS you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to InterSystems IRIS sync onto the matching records in Folk CRM, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Folk CRM API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between Folk CRM and InterSystems IRIS

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.

Folk CRM objects InterSystems IRIS objects
Notes Free-text context attached to people and companies, readable for reporting. Persistent Classes Object-model classes project to tables, so class data is reachable through SQL.
Reminders Follow-up items that can be created from external triggers. Globals The underlying multidimensional storage; typically accessed indirectly via SQL or objects in syncs.
People Contact records; the primary entity synced with outreach and enrichment tools. Namespaces Namespaces partition databases and determine the connection context for integrations.
Companies Organization records linked to people and kept aligned with billing or CS systems. Stored Procedures Server-side logic callable over SQL supports controlled writes and transformations.
Groups Shared workspaces that organize contacts; group membership is often the field integrations act on. Tables Relational projections of stored data are the primary read/write surface for SQL-based syncs.
Custom fields Group-scoped attributes that receive enriched or computed values from external systems. Views SQL views expose curated slices of data for outbound replication.
