There are two ways to get started with Managed Sync:

  • Managed Sync Playground: Try Managed Sync with our Playground environment, where you can connect an account, sync a folder selection, and see synced files and permissions.
  • Use the API: Enable a Sync for a Connected User in your Paragon project by using the API directly.

​
Using the Playground

You can explore the basics of Managed Sync by using our Playground environment at https://try.sync.useparagon.com.

To use the Playground, you will need:

  • A Paragon Playground account (this is separate from your Paragon dashboard login)
  • A test account for a supported integration that you can use to sync: Google Drive, SharePoint, Box, Salesforce, or HubSpot

Not all Managed Sync integrations are available to test in the Managed Sync Playground. See the full list of available integrations in the Integration Reference.

​
Using the API

To enable your first Sync in the API, follow these steps:

1

Connect an integration

Use the Connect Portal to connect a user’s account to an integration that you have added to your Paragon project. You will use a Paragon User Token for the same user to send requests to the Sync API and Permissions API.

2

Enable a sync

Send a request to Enable a Sync for the integration and the type of content that you want to sync.

3

Pull synced records

Send a request to Pull Synced Records to see records as they are synced.
