Sync Accounts

Despite its name, this API method does not actually synchronize any data. It will not update account data.

This method allows you to query the server to find out whether an account has been updated. This saves you from iterating through accounts individually based on their last modified date.

Instead, you can query the server for updates using one of two approaches: by date range or by account ID.

Date Range

Using the syncAccountTimeFrom and syncAccountTimeTo parameters, you can ask the server to provide a list of all accounts that have been updated within the date range you specify.

Example: You want to synchronize the data between NeonCRM and another system on a weekly basis. Every week, run the syncAccounts request using a date range starting a week ago and ending with the current date.

Account ID

Using the accountIds.accountId parameter, you can ask the server for the last update time/date of a specific account.

Account IDs within a Date Range

You can use a combination of both parameters to query a specific set of accounts within a specific date range.

What triggers a change in the Account Last Modified timestamp?

• Creating a new account*
• Editing the account details from UI
• Updating the account from the API
• The creation or editing of a transaction or activity associated with an account does not update this timestamp.

* Note that some imported accounts may not have a Last Modified timestamp unless explicitly defined during the import.
