Why teams connect Front and Postgres Heroku
Mirror Front's data into Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku.
Stacksync mirrors Tags, Teammates, Channels, Conversations from Front into JSONB Columns, Sequences, Follower Databases, Tables in Postgres Heroku 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.
- Reflect billing and subscription records into the app database so product logic reads local rows
- Expose CRM objects as Postgres tables the Heroku application can query and join directly
React to changes as they happen
Updates in Front arrive as row changes in Postgres Heroku, 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 Postgres Heroku; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.
What you can sync between Front 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.
| Front objects | Postgres Heroku objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts. | Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. | |
| Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel. | Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. | |
| Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics. | Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data. | |
| Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. | Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. | |
| Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from. | Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. | |
| Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics. | Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. |

How the Front and Postgres Heroku connectors work
Front
- Integration surface
- REST API (Core API)
- Authentication
- OAuth authorization via the Stacksync UI ("Connections" > "create new connection" > "Front" > "Authorize") — no coding required
- Change detection
- Application webhooks and rule-triggered webhooks, with the events endpoint available for polling
- Capabilities
- read · write · webhooks
- Rate limits
- Request limits vary by plan.
Postgres Heroku
- Integration surface
- SQL wire protocol (standard PostgreSQL)
- Authentication
- Database credentials from the Heroku DATABASE_URL config var; SSL required
- Change detection
- Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations; log-based logical replication availability depends on plan and Heroku's managed server settings
- Capabilities
- read · write
- Rate limits
- No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan

FAQ
Front and Postgres Heroku integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Front and Postgres Heroku: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Front's Accounts and Inboxes), 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 Postgres Heroku connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Front–Postgres Heroku integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Front and Postgres Heroku. 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 Postgres Heroku: Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations; log-based logical replication availability depends on plan and Heroku's managed server settings. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Front side: Tags, Teammates, Channels, Conversations, plus custom fields where Front exposes them. On the Postgres Heroku side: JSONB Columns, Sequences, Follower Databases, Tables. 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.
