Auto-syncing project data between management tools

Purpose

1. Automate the seamless, real-time synchronization of project data—tasks, milestones, timelines, documents, and status updates—between multiple project management tools used in petrochemical engineering service workflows.

2. Purpose is to automate data consistency across platforms, automate version control, automate status reporting, and eliminate manual double entry in complex, multi-system engineering project environments.

3. Automating this flow enables teams to automate unified visibility, automate compliance-driven records, and automate handoff processes between stakeholders in the engineering service lifecycle.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automated trigger by creation, update, or deletion of project tasks.

2. Automator picks up changes on project objects such as documents, resources, or timelines.

3. Manual triggers via user action or batch automated syncs based on a preset schedule or API webhook event.

4. Automated triggers set when particular milestones or project stages are reached in the originating platform.
