Managing Your Sync Capacity

    Need to make room for new syncs? Here's how to free up capacity in your integration.

    Here are Ways to Free Up Capacity

    Option 1: Use syncHelper

    With unExalateAfterProcessing syncHelper, you can automatically unlink items when they reach a specific status, such as "Closed" or "Resolved." You'll need to add this rule to your script configuration.

    Option 2: Deactivate a Connection

    Temporarily pause an entire connection and free up all its capacity at once. When to use this:

    • You want to pause syncing for a project or team
    • You might need to reactivate the connection later
    • You want to free up significant capacity quickly

    How to do it: Navigate to your integration in Exalate Find the connection you want to pause

    1. Click Deactivate Connection
    2. All items in that connection are immediately freed from your capacity

    Note: You can reactivate the connection anytime without losing your configuration.

    Option 3: Remove a Connection

    Permanently remove a connection and free up all its capacity. When to use this:

    • The connection is no longer needed
    • You want to free up capacity permanently
    • You're cleaning up old or unused integrations

    How to do it: Navigate to your integration in Exalate Find the connection you want to remove

    1. Click Remove Connection
    2. Confirm the action

    ⚠️ This action cannot be undone. All configurations for this connection will be permanently removed.

    Option 4: Unlink Individual Items

    Remove specific items you no longer need to sync while keeping your connection active.When to use this:

    • You want to stop syncing completed or archived items
    • You need to free up a small amount of capacity
    • You want to keep the connection active for other items

    How to do it: Follow the steps in our guide: How to Force Unlink Items.

    What Happens When You Free Up Capacity

    ✅ Previously synced data remains unchanged in both systems
    ✅ No data is deleted from either system
