Why teams connect Firebase and Front

Mirror Front's data into Firebase so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Front through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Firebase.

Stacksync mirrors Accounts, Inboxes, Tags, Teammates from Front into Realtime Database Nodes, Authentication Users, Cloud Storage Objects, Cloud Functions Triggers in Firebase and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Front, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
  • Mirror conversations tagged for escalation into engineering trackers through the synced database.
  • Mirror Firestore collections into Postgres or a warehouse to run SQL analytics on app data.
  • Write CRM-side changes (plan, status, owner) back into Firestore documents the app reads.

Automate Front from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Firebase and Stacksync propagates the change into Front, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Front arrive as row changes in Firebase, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

What you can sync between Firebase and Front

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.

Firebase objects Front objects
Firestore Collections Top-level groupings of documents that a sync maps to tables or SaaS objects. Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context.
Firestore Documents Schemaless JSON-like records, the primary unit synced to and from external systems. Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts.
Subcollections Nested collections under documents, typically flattened into related tables during sync. Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel.
Realtime Database Nodes JSON tree paths in the older Realtime Database, synced by path. Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics.
Authentication Users User accounts read into CRMs and warehouses for customer records. Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting.
Cloud Storage Objects Files referenced from documents; usually synced as metadata plus URLs. Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from.
