Why teams connect Insightly and Postgres Heroku
Treat Insightly like part of your database: its records live in Postgres Heroku as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.
Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in Postgres Heroku, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.
Stacksync mirrors Organizations, Leads, Opportunities, Projects from Insightly into Follower Databases, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Postgres Heroku with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Insightly with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.
Common use cases
- Two-way sync of Insightly contacts and organizations with a marketing automation platform
- Replicate opportunities into Postgres or a warehouse so RevOps can report on pipeline with SQL
- 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
Trigger workflows from CRM changes
Field and stage updates in Insightly arrive as row changes in Postgres Heroku, ready to drive jobs and notifications.
Query the CRM like a database
Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Insightly become tables in Postgres Heroku you can join with application data directly.
Product events onto CRM records
Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Postgres Heroku sync onto the matching records in Insightly, giving go-to-market teams live product context.
What you can sync between Insightly 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.
| Insightly objects | Postgres Heroku objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Tasks Activity records keep follow-ups consistent across systems. | Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. | |
| Events Calendar items sync for a complete activity timeline. | Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. | |
| Notes Free-text context attaches to synced records for downstream visibility. | Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data. | |
| Products Product catalog entries support line-item syncing on opportunities and quotes. | Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. | |
| Custom Fields Per-object custom fields carry enrichment and billing data written from external systems. | Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. | |
| Contacts Person records sync with marketing and support tools to keep one contact list. | Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. |

FAQ
Insightly and Postgres Heroku integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Insightly and Postgres Heroku: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Insightly's Tasks and Events), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
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.
-
Common patterns for Insightly and Postgres Heroku: Trigger workflows from CRM changes; Query the CRM like a database; Product events onto CRM records. Field and stage updates in Insightly arrive as row changes in Postgres Heroku, ready to drive jobs and notifications.
-
Insightly: REST API (versioned). Authentication: API key sent via HTTP Basic authentication. Postgres Heroku: SQL wire protocol (standard PostgreSQL). Authentication: Database credentials from the Heroku DATABASE_URL config var; SSL required. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Insightly: The API authenticates with a per-user API key passed over HTTP Basic authentication rather than an OAuth flow. Postgres Heroku: Heroku Postgres is standard PostgreSQL, so any Postgres client, driver, or SQL tool connects unchanged. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Insightly and Postgres Heroku without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Insightly and Postgres Heroku records are not retained after a sync operation.
