# Sync modes

Each CRM integration has a **Sync mode** setting that controls when Mobly pushes leads to your CRM. You'll see it on the **Connect** tab once the integration is connected.

There are two modes — **Automatic** (the default) and **Manual** — plus a **Disable** state that pauses everything.

## Automatic

**What it does:** New leads sync to your CRM as soon as they're enriched. Most leads land in your CRM within minutes of being captured.

**When to use it:** Default for almost everyone. You want leads in your CRM as fast as possible so reps can act.

**Where Frozen leads go when you switch to Automatic:** If the integration was previously in Manual mode and had Frozen leads waiting, switching to Automatic flushes them all to your CRM. They'll move from **Reconciliation → Pre-Sync** to **Cleared** (or to **Failed** if anything's wrong with the data).

## Manual

**What it does:** New leads are captured and enriched in Mobly normally, but they don't sync to your CRM until you push them manually. They're held in **Reconciliation → Pre-Sync** with a status of **Frozen**.

**When to use it:**

* **Mid-event review.** You want to QA leads in Mobly before they hit your CRM (clean up tags, re-enrich, fix typos) instead of pushing raw scans.
* **CRM maintenance.** Your CRM is undergoing a migration, schema change, or maintenance window and you need to hold sync without losing leads.
* **End-of-event batch.** You prefer pushing a complete event's leads as a single batch rather than a steady trickle.

**How leads get out of Frozen:** Two paths.

1. **Sync the whole event manually** — go to **Integrations → \[your CRM] → Reconciliation**, choose **Event view**, and click the global retry button at the top to push every Pre-Sync lead for the selected event
2. **Switch back to Automatic** — flushes everything immediately and resumes real-time sync going forward

## Disabled

The **Disable** button on the Connect tab pauses syncing entirely. The connection and all your mappings are preserved — the integration just stops moving data.

**When to use it:**

* Long-term pause without losing your configuration (CRM is being decommissioned, you're switching CRMs, etc.)
* Temporary stop when even Manual mode would let too much through

**Difference from Disconnect:** Disable keeps the connection and mappings intact, ready to resume. **Disconnect** removes the connection entirely (mappings are kept in case you reconnect, but you'll need to re-authenticate).

## How to change the Sync mode

1. Go to **Integrations → \[your CRM] → Connect**
2. Find the **Sync mode** section
3. Click **Automatic** or **Manual**
4. Switching to Manual prompts for confirmation — this is intentional, since it changes the default behavior of the integration

## Salesforce-specific note

Salesforce integrations have an extra setting called the **Salesforce Sync Mode** that's separate from the Automatic/Manual toggle above. It controls which Salesforce objects Mobly creates or updates: Leads only, Leads and Contacts, or Accounts and Contacts. See the [Salesforce setup guide](/help-center/integrations/crm/salesforce/setup-guide.md) for details — that setting is about object behavior, not timing.
