Incremental sync
Syncing only the records that have changed since the last sync run, rather than re-processing the entire dataset. Critical for large databases instead of syncing 100,000 contacts hourly, sync only the 200 that changed.
How PURIST uses this
This concept is built into every automation we deploy.
When PURIST builds your automation, Incremental sync is not an optional consideration it is part of the production standard. Our workflows are tested against edge cases, monitored 24/7, and built to handle what happens when things don't go as expected.
Every client workflow we deploy in the Data category is designed with this principle in mind from day one not added as an afterthought.
Complexity level
Requires some familiarity with automation concepts.
