Connecting Data Sources

Connect the systems your team already uses

FrontRace listens across CRM, email, phone, video, and collaboration tools. Connections are secure, read-only by default, and take minutes per source.

What FrontRace listens to

CRM

Accounts, opportunities, contacts, stages, owners, and activity — the backbone of the decision model.

Email & calendar

Meeting cadence, threads, attendees, and response patterns — to see what's actually happening between CRM notes.

Phone & dialer

Call activity, duration, and outcomes from RingCentral, PhoneBurner, CallRail, and others.

Video & conversation

Meeting recordings, transcripts, and call intelligence from Zoom, Google Meet, and Gong.

#

Collaboration

Slack and Microsoft Teams for in-channel signals and internal deal discussion context.

📝

Knowledge

Notion and similar tools for playbooks, battlecards, and enablement context.

How to connect a source

  1. Open Integrations

    You'll see every supported source grouped by category, with a Connect button next to each.

  2. Authorize via OAuth or API key

    Most connections are OAuth. A few (Close, Crelate, Avianis, Gong, CallRail) use an API key generated from within that product's settings.

  3. Scope permissions to read-only

    Use the least-privilege option wherever available. FrontRace never needs write access to run the decision model.

  4. Select what to ingest

    Pick which accounts, mailboxes, channels, or workspaces to include. You can exclude anything sensitive or out of scope.

  5. Confirm the backfill

    FrontRace pulls up to 24 months of history by default to calibrate the model. Backfills usually complete within a few hours.

Start with the core three

At minimum, FrontRace needs these three to produce real guidance:

  1. Your CRM — the source of truth for pipeline and outcomes.
  2. Email and calendar — Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
  3. One conversation source — phone, video, or dialer.

Anything beyond these three sharpens the model and unlocks more signals.

No pixel, no plugin. Reps don't install a browser extension or a desktop app. All data flows through authenticated APIs.

What we read and don't read

We readWe don't
Business email threads with external contacts Personal email or threads you've marked private
Meeting metadata, recordings, and transcripts on business accounts Meetings you haven't granted access to
Channel messages where FrontRace is invited DMs, and channels FrontRace isn't in

Security and compliance

Troubleshooting

SymptomLikely cause
CRM opportunities missingOAuth user lacks permission to the object or record type. Reconnect with a full-access admin.
Call or meeting activity delayedProvider webhook delay — typically resolves within an hour.
Transcripts not appearingRecording or transcription isn't enabled in the upstream tool (Zoom, Gong, etc.).
API key rejectedKey was rotated or scoped incorrectly in the source system. Regenerate with full read scope.
