What is Hoop's Data Sync Software and who is it designed for?
Data Sync is a core service within the Hoop platform. It connects Hoop with your other business applications to ensure customer data remains consistent across all systems. This eliminates information silos that often arise when teams use multiple tools for marketing, sales, and service.
The software is designed for any organization that uses a diverse tech stack and needs unified customer context. It is essential for operations teams who manage data integrity and for marketing, sales, and service departments that require accurate, up-to-date records to function effectively. By keeping data in sync, Hoop ensures everyone works from the same single source of truth.
How does the Data Sync feature work to keep my records updated?
Hoop's Data Sync provides no-code, reliable sync using a guided setup process. You can establish connections and map fields between different systems without needing complex imports or custom coding. It supports both one-way and two-way flows, allowing you to control the direction of data for each object and field.
The synchronization process is based on three main control mechanisms to manage data movement:
- Mappings: You configure exact property-to-property sync with previews.
- Filters: You set criteria to sync only the records you need, avoiding unnecessary data transfer.
- Conflict Handling: You establish precedence rules to prevent accidental overwrites and infinite loops between connected systems.
This comprehensive control ensures consistent data while respecting merge logic and reducing duplicates by aligning primary identifiers across all your connected applications.
Which external applications and data types are supported by Hoop Data Sync?
