Why teams connect Freshworks CRM and Salesforce

Run Freshworks CRM and Salesforce side by side with the same accounts and contacts in both, whether they serve different teams or one is replacing the other.

Two CRMs in one company is more common than anyone plans for: an acquisition brings its own system, regions or business units standardize differently, or a migration is under way and both are live. In every case, some of the same companies and people exist in both systems, and every day of manual double entry pushes the copies further apart.

Stacksync syncs Lists, Notes, Contacts, Accounts in Freshworks CRM with Products and Price Books, Custom Objects, Accounts, Contacts in Salesforce in real time and in both directions, with field-level mapping and matching on identifiers you choose. Update a record in either CRM and the other reflects it within seconds.

Common use cases

  • Push scored leads from a data platform into Freshworks CRM and route them by lifecycle stage.
  • Two-way sync accounts and deals with an ERP so quotes and invoices reference the same customer records.
  • Write product usage metrics computed in a warehouse onto Account and Contact fields so reps see adoption signals on the record.
  • Trigger provisioning or billing changes in an operational database when an Opportunity moves to closed-won.

Migration with a parallel run

When one CRM is replacing the other, run both fully live until cutover, with no snapshot gap and no data freeze.

Divisional or regional split

Where each CRM serves a different team or region, sync just the shared accounts and contacts so handoffs and cross-sell work.

Where both track pipeline: deal visibility across systems

Deal stage and value on shared accounts stay visible from either CRM.
