Linking - Transaction Link

Note: Multiple API Applications can "link" to the same transaction.

We've made it easier for you to keep your application in sync with Kindful by storing two important data points. The first, is the sync version on our transaction model. This increments every time a transaction is changed.

The second is the sync version indicating which version of a transaction your application "knows about". When the two sync versions are not the same, this means your application is "out of sync".

When the API transactions/query is queried for "changed" (out of sync) records, it will respond with any transactions linked to your application that have changed. To maintain the sync, you will then need to update your side with the updated transaction information and then call the link command to indicate or "link" that your application "knows about" the latest version.
