Only sync records that are different to Salesforce's

Sometimes, a record in Salesforce may be manually updated to match source data before a Polytomic sync runs. In that case, you may wish to have Polytomic not overwrite the same data in Salesforce in order to prevent a Flow or trigger from firing.

At the expense of more Salesforce API calls, you can instruct Polytomic to only sync updates that different from what's in Salesforce by checking the 'Only update if different from Salesforce' box under 'Advanced settings'.
