Why teams connect Front and InterSystems IRIS

Mirror Front's data into InterSystems IRIS 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 InterSystems IRIS.

Stacksync mirrors Teammates, Channels, Conversations, Messages from Front into Stored Procedures, Tables, Views, Schemas in InterSystems IRIS 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

  • Sync conversations, messages, and tags into Postgres for response-time and volume analytics across inboxes.
  • Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data into Front contact and account custom fields so it shows next to the conversation.
  • Sync operational tables in IRIS bi-directionally with a CRM so business teams work on IRIS-backed data without SQL access
  • Consolidate IRIS data with other databases in an analytics warehouse for cross-system reporting

Automate Front from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in InterSystems IRIS and Stacksync propagates the change into Front, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Front arrive as row changes in InterSystems IRIS, 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.

What you can sync between Front and InterSystems IRIS

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 InterSystems IRIS objects
Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics. Persistent Classes Object-model classes project to tables, so class data is reachable through SQL.
Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting. Globals The underlying multidimensional storage; typically accessed indirectly via SQL or objects in syncs.
Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. Namespaces Namespaces partition databases and determine the connection context for integrations.
Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context. Stored Procedures Server-side logic callable over SQL supports controlled writes and transformations.
Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts. Tables Relational projections of stored data are the primary read/write surface for SQL-based syncs.
Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel. Views SQL views expose curated slices of data for outbound replication.
