Integration & Data Synchronization AutomationPurpose
1.2. Automate synchronization between diverse platforms and storage endpoints, ensuring all key data—such as member directories, certification records, financials, and project documentation—are securely and regularly archived offsite.
1.3. Maintain compliance, enforce data retention policies, and prevent data loss due to human error, cyberattacks, or hardware failures via automation.
1.4. Automate restoration readiness and reduce downtime for corporate and professional body operations.
Trigger Conditions
2.2. Trigger automated backup after major database changes, file uploads, or when a threshold of new documents is reached.
2.3. Automate execution upon user action (e.g., admin requests backup), or after system health checks indicating risk.
