Fostr AI brings in data from tools like Zoom, Slack, Outlook, Google Drive, and more. Most of the time this information syncs automatically, but sometimes there can be a short delay. This guide will help you know when to simply wait for the system to finish syncing, and when you should reach out to your Customer Success Lead.
Step 1: Know What Sync Covers
Data is pulled into Fostr on a regular cadence. This includes:
- Meetings → Zoom/Teams transcripts and notes
- Emails & Calendar items → Gmail/Outlook integrations
- Files → Google Drive, OneDrive, or SharePoint
- Slack messages → channel conversations brought into context
Step 2: Situations Where You Should Wait for Sync
It’s normal to see a short delay before new items appear. You don’t need to escalate in these cases:
- Your Zoom meeting just ended (transcripts can take up to a few hours).
- A new file was uploaded to Google Drive or OneDrive within the last few hours.
- You just connected a new integration (first‑time syncs may take longer).
- Data is visible in the source system but hasn’t yet flowed into Fostr.
In these cases, check back later or allow the next automated sync cycle to run.
Step 3: Situations Where You Should Contact Your Customer Success Lead
Reach out if you encounter the following:
- You don’t see data after 24 hours (beyond the normal sync delay).
- A sync is partially working (e.g., some files show, others are missing consistently).
- You notice permissions issues (e.g., you can access files in Drive directly but not in Fostr).
- Your login, roles, or onboarding emails aren’t working as expected.
- An integration shows as connected but no data is pulling in.
- Any urgent blockers that are disrupting your team’s ability to use Fostr.
Step 4: How to Contact Your CS Lead
For quick issues or blockers: Slack support channel (if set up with your company).
For structured tracking: Email your assigned Customer Success Lead (listed in your onboarding docs).
Provide key details when reporting:
- What system/integration the issue relates to
- When you noticed the problem
- Screenshots or error messages if available
