4. Click Initiate.


 The sync time set in the second step will adhere to the timezone followed in your application. In case, your application has a different timezone, then set the time and timezone of your sync accordingly.

Use case

My periodic sync has become inactive before the set time period. Why does this happen?

If we change the application link name or the view link name in your Zoho Creator account, then all sync associated to the older link names will become inactive and cannot be re-activated. So, create new syncs whenever you change either of the links mentioned above.
