When you use the Sync App for your integration, you may need to change the start-up type to a Console or Service application. The start-up type will depend on whether the Sync App is on a shared network or local device.

This can be necessary if the application set up isn’t correct and you're receiving an error message.

You can check the current Sync App type from the top left corner of the application when open.
