Data Sync Configuration
After your organization and admin user have been onboarded, you must synchronize data from the source system to the Conga Advantage Platform. Before synchronizing data, you must connect the source and target systems. This section provides guidance on how to configure this connection.
Data sync supports only Salesforce as the source system.
You may come across source object fields that use formula expressions, such as SalesPrice * Quantity, for example, to calculate the net price of a line item. These source formula expressions might be written differently or in a format incompatible with the formula expressions supported by the Conga Advantage Platform. To ensure smooth synchronization, you must convert these source formula expressions into a format compatible with the Conga Advantage Platform. For more information on transforming formula expressions, see Creating a Target Formula Field.

Description |
---|---|
CPQ Flows |
Flows are groups of pages assigned to each step in the CPQ process. |
CPQ Displays |

CPQ Custom Settings |

The application restricts you from re-syncing Conga CPQ settings such as flows, displays, actions, custom settings, and cart views. This prevents overwriting existing configurations and ensures that settings aren't unintentionally modified.
