FAQ
Does self-built system sync require development support?

- Enter the API addresses, field names, and field values on the configuration page, then run a connection test.
- If development resources are not available for now, consider another supported sync method or maintain the directory manually.
Does API-based sync support incremental updates?
- Yes. You can use the API method to sync only changed member or department information when needed.
