Quickstart
Use case overview
resynced.io makes syncing data between apps simple. Automating the flow saves you from manual entry and reduces 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, click the "+ Create New" button on the Synchronization page. Then, give your synchronization a name to distinguish this synchronization from others. If you don't choose one, the system will generate a name for you, which you can change later.
Select a platform, accounts, and a source
Select the platform you want to sync with. Once you've chosen your platform, connect an authorized account from the list or follow the steps to connect a new one. Then, pick the source where the data will sync from, like a workspace and board in monday.com, or choose a Google Sheets spreadsheet and the specific sheet. You can also sync between the same platform (like monday.com to monday.com) by selecting it on both sides.
Filters (optional)
By default, resynced.io syncs all items, but you can use filters to choose which items to sync and which not.
For apps like monday.com or Notion, where column types are predefined, select the column you want to filter, set filters like "equals" or "does not equal," and enter a value.
In Google Sheets each cell in a column can contain different data types. Select the column you want to filter, then set your filter conditions, including data type, such as "Text equals or doesn't equal," "Number equals or doesn't equal," "Checked or unchecked," and enter a filter value. For example, a Budget column might contain numbers stored as text in Google Sheets, and if you filter the Budget column by 'Number equals,' the filter won't work, and no items will be updated.
Always match the values exactly as they appear in the source. Pay attention to capitalization. For example, if the status is "Done," filtering by "done" won't work as expected.
Item creation and deletion
By default, item creation is enabled only for the left source. New items added in the left source will appear in the right source. You can change this setting to allow item creation in both directions. You can also enable item deletion for one or both apps.
Create items:
Do not create new items. Only existing items will be updated; no new ones will be added.
Create new items when added on the left. New items added in the left source will appear on the right.
Create new items when added on the right. New items added in the right source will appear on the left.
Create new items in both directions (default). New items added in either app will appear in the other.
Delete items:
Do not delete items (default). Deleted items won’t be removed, even if they’re deleted in the source.
Delete items when deleted on the left. Items deleted in the source on the left will be removed from the right.
Delete items when deleted on the right. Items deleted in the source on the right will be removed from the left.
Delete items in both directions. Items deleted in either source will 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.
Map fields, sync direction, start synchronization
Start by mapping columns from one app to the corresponding columns in the other app. Also, map all possible values for columns like Status or Dropdown. For example, if you have three status options in monday.com (e.g., Not Started, In Progress, Done), you must map them to the corresponding values in Google Sheets.
If you add new statuses or dropdown options in monday.com (e.g., a new status like "Stuck"), you must manually map this new value in resynced.io to ensure it syncs correctly. New options won't be automatically mapped.
Column types:
Ensure the column types are compatible between both apps to avoid syncing errors. For example, if you're syncing a date column, both apps should have the column set to the date format. You must ensure that the data type for each column in Google Sheets is set correctly before starting the synchronization and check that it matches the data type you've selected for reading in resynced.io. More information about data types can be found here.
Syncing groups as a column
You can sync boards with multiple groups and map those groups as a column in Google Sheets. To do this, create a column in Google Sheets where you will map the Group name field from monday.com.
Currently, group syncing is one-way. Updates to the group in Google Sheets won't reflect in monday.com. Instead, the sync will pull the group data from monday.com and update the Google Sheet to match.
Sync Direction: Double-check the sync direction for each column pair. This ensures that the sync works the way you expect, one-way or two-way, without causing any confusion.
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.
