# Automated Sync Frequency

## Overview

Opensense automatically syncs user and group data from your connected directory and third-party integrations on a scheduled basis. Understanding sync frequency helps you know when to expect changes — such as new users, updated profile fields, or group membership changes — to appear in Opensense.

## Sync schedule

Sync frequency varies by platform:

| Platform | Sync frequency |
| --- | --- |
| Microsoft 365 | Twice per day |
| Google Workspace | Once per day |
| Third-party integrations | Once per day |

> [!NOTE]
> Third-party integrations that sync on this schedule include Okta, Outreach, Salesforce, BambooHR, and SFTP.

Syncs run automatically on the schedule above. If you need data updated immediately, you can also trigger a manual sync at any time.

## Why Algorithm-Based Scheduling?

- Prevents overloading the Opensense servers with unnecessary sync calls.
- Ensures reliable updates across multiple platforms and domains.
- Scales efficiently as more integrations are added.
