Running Background Synchronization with Auto Sync Settings (Outlook + Salesforce)

Users can force LinkPoint Connect to run a synchronization in the background based on existing Auto Sync rules at any time. In some cases, users set the Auto Sync frequency to longer intervals between each sync. Users may create a batch of appointments or import a list of contacts that they need available in both Outlook and Salesforce sooner than the next sync time. In this section, you will learn how to run background sync.
