Push and Get Actions

Control integrations typically have one direction that specific information travels. As data is generated or modified in one product, it does not automatically change in other connected products downstream; you must perform a manual sync action, referred to as a Push or Get action.

A Push sync occurs when you send information to another InEight cloud Platform application or an external application.

A Get sync occurs when you retrieve information from a different InEight cloud Platform application or an external application.

You can view the various integration options by clicking on the Actions menu from the Control main page and hovering over the Sync option. The image and table below give a description of the sync type functions:
