Creating a sync variant

Sync variants allow you to create different configurations of the same sync for a specific connection. This is useful when you need to sync the same data with different settings or filters.

​
Key features

  • Each variant operates independently with its own sync schedule
  • Variants can be queried separately through the records endpoint using the variant query parameter
  • Cannot use “base” as a variant name (protected)
After creating a variant, you can use the /records endpoint to access its data by specifying the variant query parameter: 
GET /records?model=MyModel&variant=MyVariant
