Real-time data sync with full control, no coding required

Custom sync rules

Use intuitive rules (conditions or filters) to determine exactly what data to sync, such as task status, assignee, labels, and more.

Deep field configurability

Configure your data flow field by field. Map any native or custom fields and define flow direction for each.

Full relationship support

Sync hierarchies and related items across tools, keeping linked objects, dependencies, and parent-child relationships fully intact.

Historical data sync

Your sync doesn't rely on live triggers. Unito rules apply to any object in your tools and can also include historical data.

Comment & attachment support

Sync comments across tools with control over private and public visibility, and sync attachments for full visibility.

Live data transformation

Transform data in real time with transformers to combine fields, convert HTML to text, extract values, or apply custom string logic through JSON settings.
