The inbound data sync can be executed manually. In order for FlexConnect to retrieve data, it requires inbound configuration. Read how-to: [Creating Object Mappings for the Inbound Data Sync](https://upperdeck.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FBDOCS/pages/2078310773).

> ℹ️ Only the Inbound Data Sync will start using this page. Not the outbound. Read: Manually running the Outbound Data Sync.

It is possible to run it for entire Service Provider or for individual Object Mapping.

For Service Provider - go to Service Provider and click on Run Inbound Sync.  
It will execute inbound sync for all **active and valid** mappings for given service provider

> ⚠️ It will start sync even if Object Mapping is Inactive - so be careful!

In case logging is enabled, the  Audit Trail record(s) will be created and your data will be synchronised. The Inbound Data Sync can also be scheduled, read [here](https://upperdeck.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FBDOCS/pages/2078310787) how to configure this.
