API ReferenceModel Sync

Update Sync

Updates a model sync’s configuration.

Updating a model sync is a full replacement of the sync’s 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 adjusting a single field mapping — fetch the current sync with GET /api/syncs/{id}, modify the fields you want to change, and send the complete object back in the update request.

Updates to active, schedule, and policies take effect immediately. Changes to source fields, target configuration, filters, or field mappings take effect on the sync’s next execution.

Request

This endpoint expects an object.
fieldslist of objectsRequired
Fields to sync from source to destination
modeenumRequired
namestringRequired
scheduleobjectRequired
Sync schedule. Schedule times are interpreted in UTC.
targetobjectRequired
Sync destination configuration
activebooleanOptional
Whether the sync is enabled and scheduled
encryption_passphrasestringOptional
Passphrase for encrypting the sync data
filter_logicstringOptional

Logical expression combining this sync’s model filters — the entries in ‘filters’ whose ‘field_type’ is ‘Model’ — by their labels. The operators are not case-sensitive but the labels are, and the expression has to name every model filter at least once — a filter may be repeated, as in ‘(A and B) or (A and C)’ — and an expression which leaves one out is rejected. Target filters are combined by ‘target.filter_logic’.

filterslist of objects or nullOptional

Filters on this sync. The array holds both filters on the records read from the source and filters on the records written to the destination; a filter’s ‘field_type’ says which it is.

identityobjectOptional

Identity mapping for the sync; this determines how records are matched between source and destination.

only_enrich_updatesbooleanOptional
Whether to use enrichment models as a source of possible changes to sync. If true, only changes to the base models will cause a record to sync.
organization_idstring or nullOptionalformat: "uuid"

Ignored for user and organization-scoped API keys, which always act in their own organization

override_fieldslist of objects or nullOptional
Target fields which are set to a fixed value for every record, rather than mapped from a model field
overrideslist of objects or nullOptional
Conditional value replacement for fields
policieslist of strings or nullOptional
skip_initial_backfillbooleanOptional

Whether to skip the initial backfill of records; if true only records seen after the sync is enabled will be synced.

sync_all_recordsbooleanOptional
Whether to sync all records from the source, regardless of whether they've changed since the previous execution
