Why teams connect Folk CRM and Postgres Heroku

Treat Folk CRM like part of your database: its records live in Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Companies, Groups, Custom fields, Notes from Folk CRM into Schemas, Primary and Unique Keys, JSONB Columns, Sequences in Postgres Heroku 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

  • Keep folk and a billing or customer success tool aligned on company records as deals close.
  • Sync folk people and companies with a marketing or outbound tool so outreach lists stay current.
  • Reflect billing and subscription records into the app database so product logic reads local rows
  • Expose CRM objects as Postgres tables the Heroku application can query and join directly

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Postgres Heroku 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.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Folk CRM arrive as row changes in Postgres Heroku, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

What you can sync between Folk CRM and Postgres Heroku

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 Postgres Heroku objects

Companies Organization records linked to people and kept aligned with billing or CS systems. Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources.
Groups Shared workspaces that organize contacts; group membership is often the field integrations act on. Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data.
Custom fields Group-scoped attributes that receive enriched or computed values from external systems. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs.
Notes Free-text context attached to people and companies, readable for reporting. Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh.
Reminders Follow-up items that can be created from external triggers. Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes.
