Why teams connect Front and SendGrid

Stop re-entering the same information in Front and SendGrid: 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 Inboxes, Tags, Teammates, Channels in Front with Senders, Single Sends, Unsubscribe Groups, Email Activity in SendGrid 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

  • Mirror conversations tagged for escalation into engineering trackers through the synced database.
  • Feed CSAT and SLA reporting from synced conversation events rather than manual exports.
  • Write bounces, spam reports, and unsubscribes back to the CRM to keep email opt-in status accurate everywhere
  • Stream Event Webhook engagement data into a Postgres database or warehouse for campaign and deliverability reporting

Where SendGrid is where the team documents or plans: keep its data fed

Information that originates in Front stays current in SendGrid instead of going stale after a one-time paste.

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.

What you can sync between Front and SendGrid

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 SendGrid objects
Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics. Contacts Marketing recipients upserted from CRM or database records, including custom field values.
Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. List Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from. Segments Query-based contact groups whose membership SendGrid computes from contact fields.
Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics. Categories Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting. Senders Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. Single Sends One-off marketing campaigns whose stats are read back for reporting.
