Why teams connect Freshworks CRM and Postgres Heroku

Treat Freshworks 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 Accounts, Deals, Tasks, Appointments from Freshworks CRM into Primary and Unique Keys, JSONB Columns, Sequences, Follower Databases in Postgres Heroku 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

  • Keep list membership aligned with segments computed in the warehouse.
  • Mirror deal and activity data into a Postgres database that internal tools query directly.
  • Expose CRM objects as Postgres tables the Heroku application can query and join directly
  • Sync Heroku Postgres into a warehouse for reporting without running ETL dynos

Internal tools without API code

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

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

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

Query the CRM like a database

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

What you can sync between Freshworks 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.

Freshworks CRM objects Postgres Heroku objects
Notes Context records attached to contacts, accounts, and deals. Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources.
Contacts Unified sales-and-marketing person records; the core entity for bidirectional syncs. Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data.
Accounts Company records kept consistent with ERP and billing systems. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs.
Deals Pipeline records synced out for forecasting and full-funnel reporting. Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh.
Tasks Follow-ups created from external signals such as product usage events. Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes.
Appointments Meeting records readable for activity reporting. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems.
