Working with source settings
Settings on this page are summarised below:
Field | Summary |
---|---|
Source system | The system that is defined as the source for this service (e.g. Shopify). When this service runs, data is pulled from this system. |
Environment | When a connector is added, you can choose whether it is to be used in a live environment, or for testing (also known as staging). The environment is set at the connector level and cannot be changed here. If you need to use a different environment than the one specified here, make sure that a connector exists with the required environment setting and add a new service to use it. |
Page size | The number of records to be pulled from the source system at a time. Typically, this value should be left as per the default setting. |
Maximum attempts | The number of times that the service will retry pushing a record if it fails to sync for any reason. |
Time zone | Primarily used for time-based filters (e.g. syncing orders created after a given date/time). Patchworks uses UTC but a specific time zone can be applied here if needed. |
If you make any changes to these settings, remember to save changes using the save button at the bottom of the page.
