Syncs in Kombo
We’re mirroring the data in the source systems into a database at regular intervals (or when you manually trigger a sync). When you call our API, we will simply read from our database, resulting in endpoints that always respond reliably and quickly. Through our syncing approach, we can also provide webhooks for systems that don’t provide webhooks themselves.Note that syncs adhere to your scope config, so if there are
sensitive data points you’re not using, then those will not end up in our
database.
Faster data updates
In addition to full and delta syncs, we are also able to receive webhooks from selected tools to keep our data in sync more efficiently. Read more about it here.Sync types
You might find hints of different sync types in the dashboard or webhook body. However, the sync types are an implementation detail on Kombo’s side and you likely won’t have to think about them. Theupdated_after
filter works the same for all sync types and will only
return the data that actually changed, as Kombo tracks all changes in its
database.
