Sync your data
A sync copies what is in a connected system into your Inbox as Sources — except a Shopify Categories sync, which fills Categories and their filters only and does not create Sources.
What a sync does not do
Section titled “What a sync does not do”That is worth internalising, because it means you never need to hesitate over running one.
Run a sync
Section titled “Run a sync”Open Settings › Integrations and choose Sync on the integration. Its menu also lets you sync everything, or one kind of content at a time. Syncing everything on Shopify leaves out Categories, which you run on its own. To refresh individual items, choose Resync on them in Sources.
It runs in the background, so you can leave the page. A large catalogue takes a while — thousands of products is minutes rather than seconds.
What lands
Section titled “What lands”Everything that came across appears in your Inbox as Sources: the raw material, as it arrived, not yet turned into anything.
Cevoid syncs approved Library posts only. You can sync all approved posts, or limit the import to a gallery or label filters. Pending Inbox content is not imported.
From there you transform what you want to use.
Syncing again
Section titled “Syncing again”Re-running a sync refreshes your Sources with what is currently in the source system. Existing Sources are updated rather than duplicated.
Re-syncing does not rebuild your cubes. That is a separate step — see Keeping your content up to date.
When it fails
Section titled “When it fails”Sync logs records every run and what went wrong. The most common cause is an expired connection.
