Quickstart
Overview
resynced.io makes syncing data between apps simple. Automating the flow saves you from manual entry and cuts down on errors, so you can focus on what matters.
What is a synchronization in resynced.io?
Synchronization is what resynced.io is all about. It’s a setup you create to sync data between two apps. For example, you can sync a board in monday.com with a spreadsheet in Google Sheets, so any changes in one update in the other. Whether between monday.com and Google Sheets, monday.com and Notion, or even between two accounts in monday.com, each synchronization keeps your data up-to-date. You can create multiple synchronizations by connecting different apps.
What is an integration in resynced.io?
An integration is a connected app like Google Sheets, monday.com, or Notion—that resynced.io connects with, acting like a bridge between apps to keep your data updated.
What is a connection in resynced.io?
A connection is an authorized user account linked to an app like monday.com or Google Sheets. You can set up multiple connections within one integration, giving you flexibility in how you sync data. For example, in a monday.com integration, you may have connections to a few different monday.com organizations or a few different workspaces in Google Sheets.
What is an item in resynced.io?
Items are what the system syncs between apps.
What is a field in resynced.io?
The field is a specific value inside the item.
Create your first synchronization
To start a synchronization, click the "+ Create New" button on the Synchronization page. We'll use syncing between monday.com and Google Sheets, but the steps are the same for any app.
Name your synchronization
Choose a name to keep your synchronizations organized. Otherwise, the system generates a name that you can change anytime.
Select a platform
Choose a platform to sync with—currently, resynced.io supports Google Sheets and monday.com. If you need a different integration, click the Request Integration button in the Integrations section. You can sync within the same platform (like monday.com to monday.com) by selecting it on both sides or connecting two different platforms.
Connect accounts
Select an authorized account from the list or connect a new one by following the platform’s authorization steps.
Select a source
Pick the source where data will be synced from and to. For example, select a workspace and board in monday.com, or choose a Google Sheets spreadsheet and the specific sheet.
Set permissions
"Match by" оption
The "Match by" option defines the field used to match items between your apps. This field works as a unique ID, ensuring resynced.io can correctly match items during synchronization. Each item must have a unique value in this field. If two items have the same value, synchronization won't run, but your data won't corrupt. The system will notify you and show you where the problem is.
Sometimes, your data doesn't have a single unique field. However, each item may be defined by two or more fields. For example, if you have a list of student grades, then the combination of student ID and course ID would uniquely define each item. In such cases, think if there is a combination of fields that uniquely define each item and add those to the "Match By" list.
If the value in the matching field changes, resynced.io will interpret it as deleting one item and creating a new one.
Item creation and deletion
By default, only updates are enabled. You can also enable creation and deletion of items.
Create items:
Do not create new items. Synchronization will only update existing items without adding new ones.
Create new items when added on the left. New items added in the source on the left will appear in the destination on the right.
Create new items when added on the right. New items added in the source on the right will appear in the destination on the left.
Create new items in both directions. If enabled, new items added in either source will appear in the other.
Delete items:
Do not delete items. Synchronization will not remove items, even if they are deleted in the source.
Delete items when deleted on the left. Items deleted in the source on the left will be removed from the destination on the right.
Delete items when deleted on the right. Items deleted in the source on the right will be removed from the destination on the left.
Delete items in both directions. If enabled, items deleted in either source will also be removed from the other.
Be careful with these permissions, especially deletion, if you are unsure how they work. The system may corrupt your data if you misconfigure it. Try it on a sample dataset first. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions.
Synchronize
In resynced.io, you can match and convert column types for synchronization.
For example:
· Numbers in monday.com can become text in Google Sheets.
· Date and time fields can be simplified to dates.
If column types don’t match, the system will notify you. While monday.com has set column types, you can assign types for Google Sheets during setup in resynced.io. Check the monday.com integration page for supported types.
Mapping direction: Choose a one-way sync in either direction or set up a two-way sync. You can set directions separately for each column pair.
When ready, click "Save and Run" to start your first sync. Each sync run is logged, showing the status, time, and number of changes made.
Auto-Sync is on by default, updating data every 10 minutes. You can also sync manually by clicking "Sync Now".
Manage your synchronization
With resynced.io, you have control over your connections and synchronizations. Here's what you can do:
Manage connections
Delete: Remove any connection, which will also delete all synchronizations linked to it.
Manage synchronizations
Enable or disable auto-sync, which updates your data every 10 minutes automatically; when disabled, you can still sync manually using the "Sync Now" button.
Edit: Make changes to your sync settings anytime.
Delete: you can delete synchronization by either clicking "delete" on it, or by deleting a parent connection.
Platform limitations
Each app limits the number of items that can be created, deleted, or updated within a specific time frame. Additionally, resynced.io supports only certain field types for each app. For detailed information, visit the integration pages of the relevant app.
