# Duro to ION

## Getting started

Follow the instructions below to automatically sync data from [Duro](/apps/d/duro.md) to [ION](/apps/i/ion.md):

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create a <img src="/files/otwq7LuHd6uIrMP3epzy" alt="" data-size="line"> Duro integration

First, create a Duro integration, following the instructions [here](/apps/d/duro.md). Configure your data fetch, specifying:

* The types of data you want to fetch (`parts`, `files`, `change orders`, etc).
* Fetch frequency, for example every 1 hour, 10 minutes, etc.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create an <img src="/files/MTUONq04qp7n1FJPmFek" alt="" data-size="line">ION integration

Next, set up an ION integration, following the instructions [here](/apps/i/ion/generate-api-credentials-in-ion.md). Configure your data fetch, specifying:

* The types of data you want to fetch (`parts`, `runs`, `purchase orders`, etc).
* Fetch frequency - this is either scheduled, eg. every 1 hour, 10 minutes, etc., or event-driven via webhooks.

Violet will need to fetch whichever data you wish to be synced from Duro (eg. `parts`).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure sync workflow

Head to [Workflows](/features/workflows.md) to configure your sync, including desired trigger, property mappings, business logic, etc.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### One-off syncs

Alternatively, you can push parts to ION on a one-off basis.

1. Navigate to the desired Duro part in Violet. Under **Automations**, select your target app and click Push.\
   \
   \&#xNAN;*Note, if this part is an assembly, the entire assembly will be pushed.*
2. Once successful, you will now see this part and its children in Duro, Violet and ION.

### Revision Schemes

Violet will detect the part revision scheme(s) available in your ION integration. You can update the selected scheme within ION at any time.

### Observability

To learn more about monitoring performance and health & status of your data syncs, head to [Observability](/features/workflows/observability.md).
