Advanced: Disable Account Synchronization

• Riva 2.4.44 or higher.
• Riva 2.4.43 or earlier.

Riva 2.4.44 or Higher

If the CRM contact module is synchronized, then by default, the CRM account module is not synchronized.

To detect changes to the account module:

• As per the instructions in Riva sync policy: Advanced Scheduling options, clear the Do not detect changes to contact parent "Company Name" check box.

Riva 2.4.43 or Earlier

If the CRM contact module is synchronized, then by default, the CRM account module is also synchronized.

Why are accounts synced by default when contacts are synced?

The accounts are synced to allow for the detection of company name changes that would need to be reflected on the contact record currently synchronized. By default, when an account record is modified in the CRM, the related contact records are not modified. This means that detecting changes to the contact records does not detect a company name change.

Challenges

If any nightly or weekly update processes modify a large number of account records, the changes are detected. Because of the potentially large number of changes detected, many possible side effects may negatively impact performance.

The logs would display a line that shows a large number of changes detected.

Recommendations

Different CRMs support different features. In order to avoid needing to detect changes to the account module, try to use triggers or workflow changes to update all related contacts if the company name on the account record changes.

Solution for Riva 2.4.34 up to and Including 2.4.43
