eu.beuc.hubsync

Synchronizes contacts from HUB with CiviCRM.

Connection settings

There is a settings page where you can specify the connection parameters. See civicrm/beuchubsync/settings

The Synchronization Process

The synchronization happens in a few phases.

• Phase 1: getting the data from HUB
• Phase 2: storing the users, organizations and priorities in a temp table
• Phase 3: sync'ing the data from the temp tables with CiviCRM

The synchronization can be run manually, or using one or more scheduled jobs.
