Don’t take it from us
This is what true data sync feels like.
Two-way sync, simplified
Whalesync is the no-code tool built to handle data syncing. In a few minutes, you can hook up your apps and have them 2-way syncing in real-time.
-
Syncs vs. Zaps
Zapier supports traditional, 1-way automation. Each Zap represents one trigger causing one action. With Whalesync, you can create deep integrations where all of your data across multiple apps is kept in sync.
-
Issues vs. Failed History
Stop wasting hours trying to track down errors and failed Zaps. Whalesync provides a simplified dashboard for managing issues any time a record can’t be updated. Detailed error messages tell you what’s wrong so you can fix it quickly and get back to work.
-
Bulk vs. Single Record
Zapier is great for simple, one at a time automations with small amounts of data. Whalesync is built to handle syncing of up to millions of records at scale. Deeply connect enterprise tools like Salesforce and Postgres.
-
Depth vs. Breadth
Zapier has >7,000 integrations but most of them are relatively shallow. Whalesync has many fewer integrations but each integration goes much deeper to include the objects and fields you need to fulfill your use case.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really two-way sync?
Yes! Whalesync offers true two-way sync. Unlike most apps that offer one-way syncs in two directions, Whalesync actually keeps your data in sync bi-directionally. Update data in one app and see it instantly to sync to the other (or vice-versa).
What does "live" update frequency mean?
Live means changes sync as soon as Whalesync hears about them. Where an app supports webhooks, that is moments after the change; where it does not, Whalesync scans on a schedule and picks changes up on the next pass. Every plan syncs at the same speed. Each connection defaults to the fastest frequency its app supports, and you can slow a connection down to save API quota but not push it past its default. The sync frequency docs cover each app.
What happens if my data has an error and can't be synced?
If data can't be synced (e.g. a required field is missing), Whalesync will alert you on the Issues page. This alert provides the exact error from your destination app and any other info that will help you fix the issue. In the meantime, Whalesync will continue to sync all data that doesn't have errors.
