Start with the cause
Before resyncing, check the selected connection, API permissions, enabled sync areas, company links and ticket scope. A missing permission or excluded queue will not be repaired by repeatedly importing the same data. Wait for pending configuration saves before triggering a job.Quick Sync
Select Quick Sync for the provider’s normal ticket refresh when needed. The click starts a background workflow. A toast, released button or newly updated timestamp can indicate that the job was requested; verify the actual job result and expected ticket data before calling it complete. Quick Sync is not a full backup or a guarantee to reconcile every note, time entry, company and reference table. Those data areas can have separate synchronization behavior.Clear & Resync differs by provider
The current ticket controls can trigger the action directly without a second confirmation. Review the integration and intended scope before clicking. Do not press it just to inspect a confirmation dialog.
After a clear starts, provider errors can leave data absent or partially repopulated. Do not describe a full resync as risk-free, instantaneous or a substitute for preserving unsynchronized work. It is not required routine monthly maintenance and is not the default step after initial setup.
Verify the result
- Inspect the connection and relevant synchronization result after the background work runs.
- Check expected tickets for the intended company and configured scope.
- Check related notes or time entries separately where the workflow depends on them.
- Review the intended Company role’s visibility without changing a real customer ticket merely to test writeback.
