Purpose:
The purpose of this article is to provide direction to Outreach users in manually syncing an individual Account with Salesforce.
Intended Audience:
- Outreach Users
Notes:
- The CRM's Plugin settings determine how changes to account records are synced between the CRM and Outreach Platform.
- Manual syncs impact API Call Usage. Manually syncing records uses more API calls than allowing records to automatically update based on the plugin's settings.
- Users can sync single or multiple records at a time. For more information regarding how to manually sync multiple accounts, refer to the How To Manually Sync Multiple Accounts with Salesforce article.
- The Skip Plugin Filters and Conditions, Force update of all fields, and Include associated contacts options bypass the plugin's configuration settings.
