Syncing is ideal for keeping employee data up to date when information such as job title, phone number, department, company, or other contact fields changes frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This way, you avoid repetitive manual updates and keep the data used in signatures consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before you start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before syncing data, make sure that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- The desired integration is active in Bybrand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Users have already been imported into an Automation group.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Signature placeholders are configured to use fields from the integration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The integration has permission to read the required user data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Sync data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In the Automation<\/strong> area, open the group connected to the integration you want to update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, click the Sync data<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Sync](\"https:\/\/www.bybrand.io\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/MicrosoftEntraSyncData-1024x545.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nClick the button to load users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you click it, Bybrand will retrieve the most recent information available from the connected integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Select](\"https:\/\/www.bybrand.io\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/MicrosoftEntraSyncData_painel-1024x573.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAt this stage, you can sync user data from the remote directory with the email signature placeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
This action will sync the data of the imported employee list. Placeholder values will be updated with the most recent information available in the integration.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
In the next step, select the users whose data you want to sync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, click Sync selected<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the success message appears, the placeholders of the selected employees will be updated with the new data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nFAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Gmail email signature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Bybrand does not automatically update the email signature in the user\u2019s account without your action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To apply changes in Gmail, use the Bulk-update<\/strong> feature to send the updated signature to the user\u2019s email account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Delay in data propagation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When you update a user field in the directory, it may take some time for the changes to propagate across services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some updates may take up to 24 hours to take effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you sync data with Bybrand and do not see any changes, you may need to wait and try again later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
