API v1 Reference

Sync Activities

Despite its name, this API method does not actually synchronize any data. It will not update activity data. This method allows you to query the server to find out whether an activity has been updated. This saves you from iterating through activities 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 activity ID.

Date Range

Using the syncActivityTimeFrom and syncActivityTimeTo parameters, you can ask the server to provide a list of all activitys 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 syncActivities request using a date range starting a week ago and ending with the current date.

Activity ID

Using the activityIds.activityId parameter, you can ask the server for the last update time/date of a specific activity.

Activity IDs within a Date Range

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

What triggers a change in the Activity Last Modified timestamp?

  • Creating a new activity
  • Editing the activity details from UI
  • Updating the activity from the API
