A Scheduled Sync in Zoho Analytics is an automated data refresh process that re-imports or updates data from a connected source at predefined intervals such as every hour, daily, or weekly, keeping workspace tables current without manual intervention.
Use Scheduled Sync when your reporting requirements go beyond what built-in defaults provide. This feature is most valuable for organisations that have moved past basic data viewing and need precise control over how their data is organised, queried, or presented. Teams working with multiple data sources, varied user groups, or complex business logic will find this capability central to their Zoho Analytics setup.
Before configuring Scheduled Sync, ensure that the underlying data tables are clean and consistently structured. Irregular naming conventions, mixed data types in a single column, or missing values can produce unexpected results. For shared environments, coordinate with your Workspace Administrator before making changes that affect reports used by other team members. Testing on a duplicate report before applying changes to production dashboards is a sound practice.
A Scheduled Sync automates the process of refreshing data in a Zoho Analytics workspace. You configure a schedule (every X hours, daily at a specific time, or weekly) and Zoho Analytics automatically pulls fresh data from the connected source and updates the workspace tables.
The minimum sync interval depends on your subscription plan. Standard plans typically support daily syncs, while higher-tier plans support hourly or more frequent syncs. Check your current plan’s limits in the Zoho Analytics workspace settings.
