KanBo Sync Engine — Quick-Start…

The KanBo Sync Engine is a background service that keeps KanBo cards and spaces in step with external systems such as Jira, Azure DevOps, Autodesk BIM 360, and SQL databases.

Core Functions

  • Multi-Mode Synchronization
    • Two-Way – Sync changes between KanBo and external system.
    • To KanBo – Import and refresh external data automatically.
    • To External – Push KanBo updates outward.
  • Granularity Control – Configure sync at card-level (single) or space-level (multi).
  • Custom Field Mapping – Match fields and entities between systems.
  • Secure OAuth Integration – Authorization through Azure AD, Jira, or Autodesk apps.
  • Automatic Polling & Conflict Handling – Sync every defined interval with transparent logs.

Example Use Cases

  • Keep engineering tasks in Jira aligned with project milestones in KanBo.
  • Sync procurement items from SQL database to KanBo Cards for progress tracking.
  • Mirror construction issues from Autodesk BIM 360 into a shared KanBo Space for cross-department visibility.

Business Impact

  • Eliminate double entry and mismatched project data.
  • Allow different teams to use their preferred tools while staying aligned.
  • Maintain full data control inside your environment.
