Hi all,

We have a meetings app which i cloned to another workspace fine (not bad for a non podio person! :) ) . Is it possible for the data to be transferred to the cloned meetings app from the original app so when data changes it then changes it in the cloned one? what about changeds made in the cloned app in the second workspace going to the original one in the other workspace? A 2 way data update.

all help appreciated on how to do this if it is possible

thank you in advanced

  First consider if you really need the meeting app to be cloned. It is good practice to have your data in only one place as much as possible and Podio does a great job at enabling this.

  For example, if people in workspace A and workspace B all need to be able to view all meetings, have one meetings app in workspace C to which they all have access and reference the single meetings app in a relationship where you need it.

  If you can't do without the sync, you can use Podio Workflow Automation for that (included in Podio Premium).

  - for each meetings app, create a flow that triggers on update
  - in the flow, search for the matching meeting in meeting app B. You want to have only one result, so be sure to have a field that is a unique identifier. For technical reasons, avoid searching for a numerical value (e.g. unique id without prefix). 
  - then update the collected meeting from app B with the values from app A
  - do not tick hook event to avoid that syncing A to B will trigger syncing from B to A and back infinitely

  here's a little mockup

  

   

  Hope this helps!

  Kind regards

  Hi Bavo,

   

  thank you so much for your reply. I will go back to the requestor to see if we can keep the meetings app separate and see what they say. If the answer is nno then i will try what you said.

  many thanks for your help again
