Before You Start

Review the following before scheduling this scheduled process:

  • Recommended Frequency:

    • As a starting point, set up the instant sync process to run every hour

    • When needed, the administrator can also run this process in an ad-hoc basis.

  • Execution Time:

    • Execution times can vary significantly depending on the number of records that need to be synced. In most cases, the process should complete in less than 30 minutes.

  • Compatibility:

    • Ideally, you will set up the frequency of this sync process such that it has sufficient time to finish before another one starts. In many cases, a 1 hour frequency should suffice.

Parameters

Troubleshooting Information

  • Administrators will see in the Scheduled Process page if the sync process failed.

  • If this sync process doesn't complete successfully, you may not see your meetings and Emails from Outlook get synced into CX.

  • Verification that the sync process ran successfully can be done by creating a meeting in Outlook and sharing that meeting to CX. An equivalent appointment in CX will be created after the instant sync process completes.
