API ReferenceBulk Sync

Update Bulk Sync

Updates an existing bulk sync’s top-level configuration.

Updating a bulk sync is a full replacement of the sync’s top-level configuration. Every field in the request body is written to the sync; any field you omit is cleared or reset to its default value.

To make a partial change — for example, toggling active or swapping a schedule — fetch the current sync with GET /api/bulk/syncs/{id}, modify the fields you want to change, and send the complete object back in the update request.

Updates to active, schedules, and policies take effect immediately. Changes to source or destination configuration take effect on the sync’s next execution.

Because omitted fields are reset to their defaults, the discovery and naming options behave the same as on create when left out:

  • automatically_add_new_objects resets to not enabling newly discovered source objects automatically.
  • automatically_add_new_fields resets to enabling newly discovered fields on already selected objects.
  • normalize_names resets to enabled.

Send the existing values explicitly if you want to preserve a non-default or non-empty setting.

📘 Updating schemas

When schemas is present, it replaces the sync’s schema selection: schemas not in the list are disabled. When schemas is omitted or empty, the sync’s schemas are left unchanged. Use the Update Bulk Sync Schemas endpoint to change a subset of schemas, or Update Bulk Sync Schema to replace a single schema’s configuration.
