The sync frequency tells you when to expect changes, such as new users, updated profile fields, or group membership changes, to appear in Opensense. ## Sync schedule Sync frequency depends on the platform:
Microsoft 365
Twice a day
Google Workspace
Once a day
Third-party integrations
Once a day. These include Okta, Outreach, Salesforce, BambooHR, and SFTP.
Syncs run automatically on this schedule. If you need data updated right away, you can run a manual sync at any time: in the Opensense portal, go to **Manage** > **Users**, then select **Actions** > **Run Sync**. ## Why syncs run on a schedule Opensense uses algorithm-based scheduling. It: - Prevents overloading the Opensense servers with unnecessary sync calls. - Keeps updates reliable across multiple platforms and domains. - Scales efficiently as more integrations are added. ## What's next - [Why Active Directory changes take time to reach Opensense](https://help.opensense.com/docs/delay-in-ad-to-aad) - [Transforming directory field data with regex and Liquid](https://help.opensense.com/docs/transforming-directory-field-data-using-liquid-and-regex) For further help, contact Opensense Support at [help@opensense.com](mailto:help@opensense.com).
