Syncs

Configure a sync from a connected source into a collection, run it on demand, and review its history.

A sync pulls documents from a connected source into a collection on a schedule you control. Set it up once, then run it on demand — or let it run automatically — to bring in new or changed documents. Every run is recorded so you can review its history.

Set up a sync

1. 1
   Open the Syncs tab

   From inside a collection, open Syncs and click to create a new one.
2. 2
   Pick the source

   Choose an already-connected source — see Connectors — and select the folders, pages, or files to include.
3. 3
   Set a schedule

   Choose to run the sync on demand, or set a recurring schedule so the collection stays current automatically.
4. 4
   Save

   The sync is now attached to the collection and ready to run.

Run a sync and review history

Click Run now on a sync to trigger it immediately — NevTan fetches the configured content, then chunks and embeds it into the collection, the same pipeline used for manual uploads, just sourced from the connector instead. Open a sync's run history to see when it last ran, what changed, and whether it succeeded.

Worked example: keeping a Notion knowledge base current

Continuing the Notion example from Connectors: once the workspace is connected, a sync is what actually keeps a collection matching it over time.

Set the sync to run daily, and point it at the same team-docs pages. From then on, when someone edits a page in Notion, the next scheduled run picks up the change and re-embeds it — nobody has to remember to re-upload anything, and the collection's search results stay aligned with what's actually written in the workspace.
