Cannot recommend it enough - as valuable as Airtable and weblow alone imo.

Issues vs. Failed History

Stop wasting hours trying to track down errors and failed Jobs. Whalesync provides a simplified dashboard for managing issues any time a record canā€™t be updated. Detailed error messages tell you whatā€™s wrong so you can fix it quickly and get back to work.

Bulk vs. Single Record

Workato is great for one at a time automations and if-this-then-that logic flows. Whalesync is built to handle integration and syncing of up to millions of records at scale. Deeply connect enterprise tools like Salesforce and Postgres.

Depth vs. Breadth

Workato has >1,000 integrations but most of them are relatively shallow. Whalesync has many fewer integrations but each integration goes much deeper to include the objects and fields you need to fulfill your use case.

Frequently asked questions

Yes! Whalesync offers true two-way sync. Unlike most apps that offer one-way syncs in two directions, Whalesync actually keeps your data in sync bi-directionally. Update data in one app and see it instantly to sync to the other (or vice-versa).

Instant updates means that Whalesync syncs data as fast as it can rather than on a timed batch (e.g. once every 5 minutes). As soon as we see a change in one app, we'll send the update to the other. This means a single record syncs in a matter of seconds instead of minutes.

If data can't be synced (e.g. a required field is missing), Whalesync will alert you on the Issues page. This alert provides the exact error from your destination app and any other info that will help you fix the issue. In the meantime, Whalesync will continue to sync all data that doesn't have errors.
