Updated from your database

Leads synced into your database, your values matched on the CRM lead id and written into the lead’s custom fields. Example data.

If your stack runs on MySQL, syncing Follow Up Boss to MySQL should not mean a new service to maintain. SyncYak writes every Follow Up Boss lead into your MySQL database as to_syncyak_<name>_people, with the record as JSON and a _flat view with a column per field, and keeps it current on your plan’s schedule.

Set tls=true (or skip-verify or preferred) in the connection string and give SyncYak a user that can create tables and views.

How it works

Sync Follow Up Boss to MySQL in three steps

  1. Add your database

    Paste a Postgres or MySQL connection string. SyncYak checks it can create tables and views, insert, update and select, and reports each step.

  2. Connect the CRM

    Paste its API key or sign in at the vendor, name the connection, and choose the entities to sync. People sync by default.

  3. Query, then write back

    Leads land in to_syncyak_<name>_people with a typed _flat view. Map columns of a table or sheet to CRM fields to write values back.

Follow Up Boss MySQL sync, the details

The connection check runs every permission it needs on a throwaway table and reports each step. Table names come from the connection name, lower-cased, up to 40 characters, with an optional prefix in place of to_syncyak_.

  • JSON record plus a typed view
  • Deletions marked, never removed
  • Shared tables across connections, or one per connection

Export Follow Up Boss to MySQL and write back

Write scores or tags into from_syncyak_<name>_people and map each column to a Follow Up Boss field; changed rows are written into the leads at your plan’s pace.

What you get with CRM sync

CRM sync copies every lead from Follow Up Boss, Lofty, BoldTrail, CINC, HighLevel, Cloze, Brivity and KW Command into a Google Sheet, on every plan with no database needed, or into a Postgres or MySQL database you own. In a sheet each object gets a tab and each lead a row, upserted by its CRM id, with deletions marked in _deleted and your own columns left alone; in a database you get a to_syncyak_<name>_people table and a _flat view with one typed column per field. Notes, tasks, deals and other entities can sync too where the CRM offers them.

Field mapping writes values back: map columns of a Google Sheet tab, or of a from_syncyak_ table, to CRM fields, and SyncYak writes changed rows into the leads. Write-back works with Follow Up Boss, Lofty, HighLevel and Cloze; BoldTrail, CINC, Brivity and KW Command sync one way. Free syncs 100 leads every 60 minutes from 1 CRM; Hobby, $29 a month, syncs 1,000 every 30 minutes from 2 CRMs and adds field mapping and real-time CRM webhooks.

  • Every lead syncs on every plan; the plan sets the batch size and how often
  • Signed outbound webhooks: lead.created, lead.updated, lead.deleted and sync.completed
  • Invite links let whoever administers a CRM connect it without a SyncYak login
  • A request log of every pull, webhook and push, kept for your plan’s window
