Why teams connect Front and Google Cloud Spanner
Mirror Front's data into Google Cloud Spanner so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.
Engineers integrate with tools like Front through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Google Cloud Spanner.
Stacksync mirrors Inboxes, Tags, Teammates, Channels from Front into Change streams, Views, Databases, Tables in Google Cloud Spanner and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Front, so the tool and the database never disagree.
Common use cases
- Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
- Mirror conversations tagged for escalation into engineering trackers through the synced database.
- Use change streams to feed near-real-time copies of operational tables into an analytics warehouse.
- Run a two-way sync between Spanner and a SaaS tool so edits made by ops teams land back in the application database.
React to changes as they happen
Updates in Front arrive as row changes in Google Cloud Spanner, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.
One integration pattern for the whole stack
Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.
Read Front with a query
Records from Front are ordinary rows in Google Cloud Spanner; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.
What you can sync between Front and Google Cloud Spanner
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 | Google Cloud Spanner objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting. | Tables Relational tables mapped one-to-one to sync targets. | |
| Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. | Rows The unit of read and write in each sync cycle, keyed by primary key. | |
| Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context. | Interleaved tables Child rows physically co-located with parents; synced as related records. | |
| Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts. | Secondary indexes Used to make incremental read queries efficient on non-key columns. | |
| Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel. | Change streams Capture inserts, updates, and deletes for log-style change data capture. | |
| Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics. | Views Read-only projections useful for shaping data before it leaves Spanner. |

FAQ
Front and Google Cloud Spanner integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Front and Google Cloud Spanner: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Front's Messages and Comments), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Front: REST API (Core API). Authentication: OAuth authorization via the Stacksync UI ("Connections" > "create new connection" > "Front" > "Authorize") — no coding required. Google Cloud Spanner: GRPC/REST client API with SQL query surface (GoogleSQL and PostgreSQL-interface dialects). Authentication: Google Cloud IAM (service accounts). Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Front: Contacts and accounts support custom fields, commonly used to hold CRM IDs and account context surfaced in the agent's inbox view. Google Cloud Spanner: Interleaved tables physically store child rows with their parent rows, which affects how related records are read. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Front and Google Cloud Spanner without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Front and Google Cloud Spanner records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Front and Google Cloud Spanner connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Front–Google Cloud Spanner integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Front and Google Cloud Spanner. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
