Why teams connect Insightly and Microsoft 365

Sync what happens in Microsoft 365 with the customer records in Insightly, in real time and in both directions.

The CRM is supposed to be the record of every customer relationship, but customer-relevant information also accumulates in the other tools a team runs. Whatever Microsoft 365 holds or produces that touches a customer, whether conversations, payments, replies, enriched data, or notes, the CRM only benefits if it arrives without someone copying it over.

Stacksync connects OneDrive Files (driveItems), SharePoint Sites & Lists, Teams, Planner & To Do Tasks in Microsoft 365 to Organizations, Leads, Opportunities, Projects in Insightly with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Microsoft 365 update the matching contact or account in Insightly, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Microsoft 365 can store and use it.

Common use cases

  • Sync SharePoint lists with operational databases so business users edit in SharePoint while systems read SQL.
  • Archive mail and file metadata into a warehouse for compliance and activity analytics.
  • Write product usage or billing data from internal databases into Insightly custom fields for account context
  • Deduplicate and align customer records between Insightly and an ERP or invoicing system
