# Creating synchronization schedules

**Note**  
The topics in this section assume you've completed the prerequisites for an AWS Partner Central integration, an AWS Marketplace integration, or both. For more information, refer to [Integration prerequisites](crm-integration-setting-up.md) and [Getting started](crm-integration-getting-started.md) earlier in this guide.

You can create inbound and outbound synchronization schedules between Salesforce and AWS Partner Central. The steps in the following sections explain how.

## Prerequisites
<a name="scheduling-prerequisites"></a>

Ensure that you complete the following before creating a synchronization schedule:
+ [Map](crm-connector-mapping.md) all required fields on at least one object, opportunity, or lead.
+ Create a [system integration user](#system-integration-user) in Salesforce.

### Creating a system integration user

Before you can create a synchronization schedule, you must use Salesforce to create a system integration user with APN integration permissions. To create synchronization schedules, you must sign in to Salesforce as the system integration user. Creating a schedule without APN integration user permissions can break the APN integration.

**To create a system integration user**

1. Sign in to your Salesforce organization as a system administrator.

1. Create a user in your Salesforce organization. Assign a profile to the user with access to the required objects in your Salesforce organization. For more information, refer to [Add a single user](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.adding_new_users.htm).

1. Assign the user the **APN Integration User** permissions set. For more information, refer to [Assign permission set to users](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.assign_permission_set_to_user.htm).

## Creating a schedule
<a name="creating-a-schedule"></a>

After completing the [prerequisites](#scheduling-prerequisites), you can create synchronization schedules between Salesforce and APN.

**To create a synchronization schedule with APN**

1. Sign in to Salesforce as a user with system integration user permissions.

1. On the **Schedules** tab, choose **New**.

1. Choose the objects to schedule. You can set up schedules for leads and opportunities, or for a single object.

1. Choose the schedule frequency, from a minimum of every five minutes to a maximum of once a day.

1. Choose **Schedule**.

**Note**  
Only one schedule per object can be active at one time. Creating a new schedule for the same object deactivates the existing schedule.
To disable the inbound integration when creating a schedule, choose **Disable Inbound Integration, Schedule**.
Creating a schedule without APN integration user permissions can break the APN integration.

## Deactivating a scheduled job

1. Proceed through the confirmation screen to deactivate the synchronization schedule.

## Viewing all schedules
