When updating profile data in Mobal, we sync the new information to each connected directory.

When setting up a profile connection for the first time, your data will be sent to our directories at 8 PM UTC the following evening. However, any subsequent edits made in Mobal will be sent immediately. We detail the differences between initial setup and ongoing data synchronization for each directory.

The time required for changes to appear depends on each directory's processing speed. During the initial setup in Mobal, pairing the data with specific directories may take longer, but once paired, updates sync more quickly on an ongoing basis.
