Learn how to create a project and configure workflows

Introduction

A project is a collection of processes and workflows. It contains a set of instructions for pulling data out of source systems and placing it into Target Systems. A project can be a simple workflow for email automation or can have embedded processes and workflows for mapping between two systems. Creating a project in DBSync Cloud Workflow is a straightforward process that enables you to organize your workflows and integrations effectively.

  • Adding Template: Utilize pre-built templates for various connectors and business processes.

Project-Level Dashboard

Located at the top of the Project Page, this collapsible dashboard mirrors the look and feel of the Home-page metrics but is scoped to the currently selected project. The tiles Active Tasks, Total Runs, Successful Runs, Errored Runs, and Records Moved, update automatically to show project-specific data, helping you isolate issues without leaving the page.
