A Run Sync node starts one or more Syncs that already exist on your site. Use it to place a Sync inside a workflow, so files are decrypted, converted, or renamed by the nodes before it and then delivered by a Sync you already maintain, or to start several Syncs from one trigger.

Run Sync accepts file items or data items and starts the selected Syncs once for each item it receives.

Settings

The node takes the Syncs to start, selected from the Syncs on your site. Every selected Sync must belong to the same site or Workspace as the Automation, because the Automation runs with its owner's permissions and can use only that owner's resources.

What the Next Node Receives

Run Sync passes its items on unchanged, with the outcome recorded on each item, so a Send Email node after it can report that the Syncs were started.

Errors

A Sync that cannot be started fails that item. Error Handling rules on the node determine what happens to a failed item.

What Happens When the Node Runs

Run Sync starts each selected Sync and records that it started. It does not wait for the Sync to finish, and the Sync's own success or failure does not change the node's result, so the node reports success when the Sync was started. When several Syncs are selected, they run independently and in no guaranteed order. The Sync's transfers are recorded in the Sync Runs logs, not in the Automation's run detail.
