Why teams connect Freshworks CRM and IBM Informix

Treat Freshworks CRM like part of your database: its records live in IBM Informix 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 IBM Informix, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Tasks from Freshworks CRM into Tables, Rows, Views, TimeSeries objects in IBM Informix with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Freshworks 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

  • Mirror deal and activity data into a Postgres database that internal tools query directly.
  • Sync unified contact records, covering sales and marketing attributes, into a warehouse for full-funnel reporting.
  • Run a two-way sync between an Informix-backed retail or POS application and a CRM so store data reaches go-to-market teams.
  • Keep embedded or edge Informix instances aligned with a central operational database.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Freshworks CRM become tables in IBM Informix you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to IBM Informix sync onto the matching records in Freshworks 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 Freshworks CRM API, limits, and retries.
