Why teams connect Front and ServiceNow

Stop re-entering the same information in Front and ServiceNow: 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 Channels, Conversations, Messages, Comments in Front with Change Requests, Problems, Service Catalog Requests, Configuration Items (CMDB) in ServiceNow 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

  • Feed CSAT and SLA reporting from synced conversation events rather than manual exports.
  • Sync conversations, messages, and tags into Postgres for response-time and volume analytics across inboxes.
  • Sync sys_user records with the HR system or identity provider so assignment groups stay accurate
  • Mirror incident and task data into Postgres or a warehouse for SLA and workload reporting

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.

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

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

What you can sync between Front and ServiceNow

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 ServiceNow objects
Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. Custom Tables Scoped or u_-prefixed tables are addressable through the same Table API as standard ones.
Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from. Incidents The core ITSM ticket; commonly synced with engineering trackers and CRMs.
Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics. Change Requests Track planned changes; synced to deployment and release tooling.
Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting. Problems Root-cause records linked to incidents, useful in cross-system reporting.
Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. Service Catalog Requests Requested items and approvals that often trigger provisioning in other systems.
Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context. Configuration Items (CMDB) Asset and infrastructure records synced with discovery tools and asset databases.
