You can synchronize the cohorts your create in Amplitude, with third-party destinations like ad networks, attribution providers, and marketing automation platforms.
The sync cadence you define impacts both the frequency with which Amplitude sends cohort or cohort updates to the destination, and the destinations that are available.
Use a one-time sync to send a cohort to your destination once. Use this option if you need to export a cohort to the destination, and don't require continuous updates.
Use a scheduled sync to ensure Amplitude sends cohort updates to your destination on an hourly or daily basis. Amplitude queues sync jobs throughout the hour or day, depending on your selection. As a result, you can't select the time of day that a sync occurs.
Use a Real-time sync to ensure the destination has the most up-to-date information about your cohort. Real-time sync checks for updates, and sends them to the destination every minute.
Amplitude recommends Real-time syncs for cohorts that require minute-by-minute precision and don't change by a large number of users from minute to minute. If you choose Real-time syncing, and notice in the sync history that most syncs update 0 users, hourly sync may work better for your use case.
Real-time sync supports cohorts of 1,000,000 users or fewer, and all cohort types except:
Real-time sync supports all cohort destinations except:
