#### What does the 'Avoid Duplicates' option do?

When 'Avoid Duplicates' is enabled in the configuration set-up, PieSync only syncs contacts that have an email address. We use the email address as the main identifier for a contact in order for us to prevent creating duplicates and to match and enrich contacts where possible in both applications.

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/6Y233jtNhZQphmahNGNAJX/74ce2980b5ad34fc4206915cb966a126/screenshot-2019-09-03-at-14-19-48.png)

#### What happens when the 'Avoid Duplicates' option is switched off

If the 'Avoid Duplicates' option is switched off we won't be able to double check if contacts that don't have an email address already exist in the receiving app, as such we might be creating duplicates.

That's why we would always recommended to keep this option switched on. If you do want to switch this option off then it is always recommend to first:

*   clean up your database
*   create a backup

#### How do I disable the 'Avoid Duplicates' option?

As a precaution we don’t allow users to disable this setting themselves because PieSync may not be able to reverse a sync and KWCommand does not have a way of restoring contacts either.

**If you read the above and you want to disable the 'Avoid Duplicates' option anyway then just send an email to support@piesync.com and we will disable this checkbox for you.**

_You've just pressed the 'Start Syncing Now' button, but at first glance it appears that nothing is happening? Or did you just add or update a contact, but the changes haven't yet been synced to the other app?_

If you've just activated PieSync or if you updated your configuration and you see the icon load with the text **Scanning your data - this might take some time...** then this means that PieSync is scanning all your contacts in both applications - even if you only choose to sync a subset. This initial scan is necessary to avoid duplicates. After this scan, the synchronization will start! 

Here you can read more about [the different dashboard states.](/help/faq/different-dashboard-states/)

<InfoBox>The larger your database, the longer the initial sync might take.</InfoBox>

Once the initial sync is done and the connection is active, PieSync will scan your databases every 4-5 minutes for updates and creations. This might be delayed if you have multiple connections set-up. To avoid conflicts, PieSync only activates one sync at a time so it might be waiting for the other to finish first. 

<TipBox>If any of these phases take longer than 3 hours be sure to contact PieSync Support!</TipBox>

## Default Field Mapping

Depending on the other app you're syncing with, you'll see a number of standard Zendesk fields being mapped by default. For instance, in a connection with Chargebee, the default field mapping looks like this:

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/63rFWmWZtErnRCpmJjxYAr/14b5a9fbfd78653a440afba403e57735/image.png)

<InfoBox>PieSync syncs the default name field(s) that come with the apps. Sometimes they have a different structure in both apps you connect. E.g. first and last names are separate in app A and joint in one field in app B. In the background, PieSync joins first and last names together from app A to B and separates them again from app B to A. Our algorithm is smart about which part it updates in app B.</InfoBox>

## Customizable Field Mapping 

You can custom map your Zendesk Custom Fields and any additional standard fields that aren't included in the default mapping yet. Bear in mind a mapping between two fields can only exist if the types of fields are compatible and the particular compatibility will determine the direction of the mapping as well. More information on Customizable Field Mapping [**HERE**](/help/features/new-customizable-field-mapping/). 

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/28JyL2b2HYYWpWkgy7bONP/282c9438dca21ef33e35941127dd6ab3/image.png)

## Additional Options

### Syncing Deletions

In connections between Google Contacts and Zendesk, you are able to [**SYNC DELETIONS**](/help/features/syncing-deletions/) **one-way**. When a contact gets deleted in Google Contacts, we add the tag 'PieSync Trash'  to that same contact in Zendesk. You will be able to review this segment first before deleting or taking any other action in Zendesk too. 

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/7wfywUq2Hm0q3P2lKn2GYA/1082b774f6180fcfd897e47d26751a71/image.png)

### Syncing Unsubscribes

In connections between Zendesk and some marketing tools we support such as e.g. MailChimp, you are able to [**SYNC UNSUBSCRIBES**](/help/features/syncing-unsubscribes/) **one-way**. When a contact gets unsubscribed in your marketing tool, we add the tag 'PieSync Unsubscribes'  to that same contact in Zendesk. You will be able to review this segment first before taking any action in Zendesk too. 

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/1uwt6RcfSV38L56FBwYTpj/c14c8f6036e1891b81eddcc2430205bd/image.png)

<InfoBox>The availability of additional options in our sync is app and connection dependent. If the box (screenshots above) is not there to tick, it's simply not possible. We need to be able to detect deletions and/or unsubscribes on one side and at the same time be able to create a new segment 'PieSync Trash' or 'PieSync Unsubscribes' on the other side. </InfoBox>

How to set up specific apps, what rules are available and mapping overviews

Supported Apps

## Activating the sync for the first time

If you set up a new connection and start syncing for the first time then it can take a while before all the contacts are synced in between the two apps. The syncing time depends on which apps you are using and how many contacts you are syncing.

## Syncing new contacts and updates

Once your connection is active, our system checks for changes in the sync every 4-5 minutes. However if the change happens directly after our last check, it can take more than 4 minutes for us to check for changes.

<TipBox>If you would like to force a direct sync then you can always select  
'sync again now' in the top right corner of the dashboard.</TipBox>

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/rBEjUD1jl8hZ0T74nbQhi/18f12a01912021f0fe8d1fb330705763/screenshot-2019-01-29-at-15-28-33.png)

<InfoBox>Do bear in mind that it sometimes can take a bit longer for new contacts or updates to appear because of:  
\- a **huge new number of contacts** syncing within the same connection  
\- a **concurrent sync** is running for the same account  
\- the **rate limits** of one of the apps is being reached. More info [here](/help/faq/different-dashboard-states/).</InfoBox>

How long does it take to sync contacts or updates?

In short, no. **PieSync currently syncs data stored on CONTACTS or COMPANIES only.** 

Syncing _Deals, Tasks, Invoices, Opportunities, ..._ is not yet available as these are different objects/entities from a syncing perspective. We're working on this though.

<InfoBox>Related articles:

[Can I sync my contacts' avatars?](/help/faq/can-i-sync-my-contacts-avatars/)</InfoBox>

## But I need this today!

Advanced CRM software like Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, or HubSpot allow you to move data across objects. Bring over data from an opportunity onto the contact or company, so it can at least be used as a filter. We cannot exhaustively document how this works for all CRM's, but here's a couple of examples to inspire you.

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/4bdpWhqH555XcVksUgZf2J/65cf54fc12a411deb10c9f54c7fb4243/cpw-0-c-5-ii-xj.gif)

If your need is short-term and your own software does not allow for information to be moved across objects, perhaps Zapier or other integration software can help bring over some information. [Find out more](/help/faq/what-s-the-difference-between-piesync-and-zapier/).

## Mapping Toggles

If you set up a connection, then you will always have the possibility to toggle your Mappings on the right hand side. By Default they will all be toggled on. The screenshot below indicates a regular connection with the Mappings all toggled on. **If a Mapping is toggled on, then this Mapping will be synced.**

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/7bf6q5KRqvY15YkNHUn1fy/6f5fbfc5cf15173b26b0bb1b5deff3bb/toggle-1.png)

As a user you can always decide which Mappings you want to toggle off. If a Mapping is toggled off, the field Mappings on the left hand side will automatically be greyed out. This means that these Mappings won't be synced.

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/5jioI7cVuCdKoq5yu5PEmK/e5eb6f5d165c46f8266b945a0b89e766/toggle-2.png)

<InfoBox>**"I can't see any toggle options, why is that?"  
**If the Default Field toggles are not visible then you have been a PieSync customer for a while and are **still working on our old engine**. To make the toggle option accessible, **remove the old connection and set up a new one** to enable this feature.</InfoBox>

## The 'Undo' Toggle & The 'Other Way Around' Toggle

Depending on the [rules](/help/features/multiple-rules/) you configure, it might be possible that our intelligent engine adds one or two toggles at the bottom of that particular rule.

An example can be found below:

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/5zn1KZgnsGaBR6duoO8CGM/7b0b8c8fe548e795f395ac74a29927fb/screen-shot-2018-09-13-at-16-10-20.png)

### The Undo Toggle

<InfoBox>If an '**Undo'** toggle appears, its only triggered after the initial sync has been done AND it will only affect contacts that have been synced because of the rule itself</InfoBox>

**For the below example the 'Undo' toggle means the following:**

If a previously synced contact has the tag 'Startup members' in Mailchimp but you remove the tag in Mailchimp, then the tag 'Startup members' will also be removed for that specific contact in Copper.

So basically this 'Undo' toggle reverses the action once done by the sync if the contact does not match the rule anymore.

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/1gszbVInsx1pEVKR9i8le5/057d72ae068a36fb62406a9c1fb37f4b/screenshot-2019-09-10-at-11-36-44.png)

### The Other Way Around Toggle

Sometimes a second toggle appears, the '**other way around'** toggle.

When available the 'other way around' toggle actually functions as a rule in the other direction.

**For the below example the 'other way around' toggle means the following:**

If a synced contact has the tag 'Startup Members' in Copper then sync it to Mailchimp and add the tag 'Startup Members'. So basically this works as another rule in the other direction.

However it's important to note the second part of this toggle: If a contact does not have the tag 'Startup Members' in Copper anymore after the initial sync then remove the tag 'Startup Members' in Mailchimp.

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/3VVVQyu3mpiGtcVMPBqraf/d3e5659222c9670658b309e588b94e32/screenshot-2019-09-10-at-11-48-23.png)

<InfoBox>The 'other way around' toggle can only appear if you have a 2-way connection.</InfoBox>

## What if the toggle is not appearing?

In that case, you have to create a second rule yourself. We're not able to create one for you.

## Default Field Mapping

Depending on the other app you're syncing with, you'll see a number of standard LionDesk fields being mapped by default. For instance, in a connection with Google Contacts, the default field mapping looks like this:

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/1rbQpC8KgERhtSsfgqnulV/27fda9644d26992e1fa039054ed166fa/image.png)

<InfoBox>PieSync syncs the default name field(s) that come with the apps. Sometimes they have a different structure in both apps you connect. E.g. first and last names are separate in app A and joint in a single field in app B. In the background, PieSync joins first and last names together from app A to B and separates them again from app B to A. Our algorithm is smart about which part it updates in app B.</InfoBox>

## Customizable Field Mapping

You can custom map your LionDesk Custom Fields and any additional standard fields that aren't included in the default mapping yet. Bear in mind a mapping between two fields can only exist if the types of fields are compatible, and the particular compatibility will determine the direction of the mapping as well. More information on Customizable Field Mapping [here](/help/features/new-customizable-field-mapping/).

Pipedrive

**Pipedrive** is an exciting and powerful CRM, managing and visualizing your company's sales pipeline in a simple way. A clear overview of your leads and outstanding deals will enable you to prioritize tasks efficiently and help you reach the targets you had in mind!

**Zendesk** streamlines your support with time-saving tools like ticket views, triggers, and automation. This helps you get straight to what matters most! Better customer service and more meaningful conversations.

## Keep your contact count down

### Only sync Clients to Zendesk

Stay in control over whether contacts get pushed into Zendesk

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/66hXvTHRm2JvSpZ3d8gwWp/42a6ecafe9c515a9ce8b3ca213ec893d/image.png)

### Only sync end-users into Pipedrive

Otherwise you'd be creating a person in Pipedrive for any random ticket you're getting in.

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/58kOy0gcmqpVjSV63inq9n/c11c76520bdd0592fd19f2b99d387b4d/image.png)

## Complete the custom mappings

Create a series of custom fields in Zendesk & Pipedrive so that you can exchange information.

**Fast end-to-end resolution is only possible** when the support staff has **all customer information** at hand. Does your ticketing tool show all attributes to that corresponding customer?

Maximize the [custom mappings](/help/features/new-customizable-field-mapping/) in PieSync to send across as much information as possible from your CRM into your support's toolset: 

![](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/1PpSDI3haimH5yS2mFZaih/01292fdef80c647c131eaf2d3a95c6b8/blob)

__Mailinglist status__. Your support team has to share the e-mail channel with whatever marketing is already sending to the customers. Yet sometimes, support tools are also used to mass broadcast... Respect your audience's subscription status! 

__Customership__. It's so straightforward yet often overlooked. Whether or not someone reaching out for help is actually a paying customer is not often something your support tool can be natively made aware of. This attribute helps you set up dedicated support for paying customers, to distinguish it from your visitors. 

__Sales rep/Customer success contact__. Who should Support reach out to when things need escalating? This is information that should be available at a glance.

<InfoBox>Depending on the properties of these fields, the information can sometimes only go in one way. Make sure you label those fields as such by naming them "Read-Only". This way, your sales reps / support staff are less inclined to manually change data that would otherwise get overwritten by PieSync.</InfoBox>

Popular sync combinations

Pipedrive and Zendesk

Running a sync for the first time can sometimes take a while.

*   In case you have a lot of contacts in your applications, the initial sync will take a bit longer, even if you configured PieSync only to sync a subset of your contacts. 
*   During the initial scan, we need to process all of your contacts (also the contacts outside the chosen subsets) to avoid duplicates during the sync.
*   Once the sync status is active _(green)_, it should never take more than 2 to 3 minutes for any update or create to appear.
