Why teams connect Front and Vertica

Get the data locked inside Front into Vertica as live tables, and send results back where Front can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Front is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Contacts, Accounts, Inboxes, Tags from Front into tables in Vertica continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Vertica can also be written back into fields in Front where the tool can use them.

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.
  • Push segments or aggregates computed in Vertica back into operational tools such as a CRM.
  • Consolidate data from multiple operational databases into Vertica schemas for enterprise BI.

Analytics on Front's data

Records and events from Front land in Vertica as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Front's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

Where Front accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Vertica sync back onto records in Front, putting analysis where the work happens.

What you can sync between Front and Vertica

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 Vertica objects
Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics. Tables Columnar tables; the primary read and write targets for syncs.
Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. Projections Sorted, encoded physical copies of table data that the optimizer selects at query time; they affect load and query behavior rather than being addressed directly.
Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from. Views Logical views used to shape reads for downstream consumers.
Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics. Flex Tables Schema-flexible tables for semi-structured JSON data landed before modeling.
Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting. External Tables Data queried in place on files or object storage without loading.
Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by domain or source.
