Why teams connect Front and GitHub
Stop re-entering the same information in Front and GitHub: Stacksync keeps the records they share consistent in real time, in both directions.
Two tools in the daily stack often hold overlapping information: the same people, the same companies, or the same pieces of work, described twice. The tools do different jobs, so consolidating is not the answer; the overlap just needs to stop drifting.
Stacksync syncs Conversations, Messages, Comments, Contacts in Front with Organizations and Teams, Users, Labels and Milestones, Repositories in GitHub in real time. You choose which records overlap, map the fields that should match, and pick a direction or let changes flow both ways. From then on, an update made in either tool is reflected in the other within seconds, without exports or copy-paste.
Because the sync is field-level, each tool keeps its own extras; only the shared data is held in agreement.
Common use cases
- Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data into Front contact and account custom fields so it shows next to the conversation.
- Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
- Two-way sync of GitHub issues with Jira, Linear, or a support system so engineering and customer-facing teams work in their own tools.
- Mirror repository, PR, and workflow-run data into a Postgres database for engineering-metrics reporting.
Handoffs between teams
When work started in one tool continues in the other, the shared fields travel with it automatically.
Where both tools track people or companies: one consistent record
Contact and company details corrected in either tool update the other, so nobody works from the old version.
Where one tool produces events: mirror them in the other
Payments, replies, messages, or tickets created in one tool can create or update matching records in the other, keeping context in one place.
What you can sync between Front and GitHub
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.
| Front objects | GitHub objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context. | Issues Synced two-way with project trackers and support tools, including labels and assignees. | |
| Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts. | Pull Requests Review state, status checks, and merge status feed engineering dashboards and workflow tools. | |
| Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel. | Commits Read-only history used to link code activity to tickets and releases. | |
| Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics. | Releases Tagged versions synced into changelogs, CRMs, or customer-notification systems. | |
| Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. | Workflow runs (Actions) CI results synced into incident and reporting systems. | |
| Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from. | Organizations and Teams Membership data synced with identity systems and HR directories for access reviews. |

FAQ
Front and GitHub integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Front and GitHub: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Front's Contacts and Accounts), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Front and GitHub connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Front–GitHub integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Front and GitHub. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Front: Application webhooks and rule-triggered webhooks, with the events endpoint available for polling. On GitHub: Webhooks with a broad event catalog covering issues, pull requests, pushes, and releases; polling for backfill. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Front side: Conversations, Messages, Comments, Contacts, plus custom fields where Front exposes them. On the GitHub side: Organizations and Teams, Users, Labels and Milestones, Repositories. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
