Incremental Sync Explained

MJ Palanker·Software Engineer·2 min

Learn how incremental sync brings identity and access changes into C1 faster.

Main Takeaways

  • Regular sync pulls the full state from upstream apps like Okta or Google every hour.
  • Many services offer audit logs or event streams that report recent changes.
  • Incremental sync listens to these feeds and detects what changed in the last few minutes.
  • C1 then fetches only the new or updated records, allowing updates to appear much faster in the platform.
