Dynamic Sync

Sync character changes back to D&D Beyond as they happen.

Availability​

Dynamic Sync is available to Undying and higher tier Patreon supporters.

Rough

This feature is ROUGH around the edges, and there is a good chance it won't work for every change. If you just want to send changes occasionally, use Update D&D Beyond on the Character Manager instead.

How it works​

  • Only a single GM user can sync to D&D Beyond, and it only syncs changes detected while that user is connected.
  • That user needs permission to write to all of the characters on D&D Beyond. This will likely mean they are the DM of the campaign on D&D Beyond.
  • Make sure the characters have been recently imported or updated before you turn Dynamic Sync on.
  • Dynamic Sync must be enabled in the settings and on each character.

Enable Dynamic Sync​

Open the DDB Importer module settings, click Core setup and select the Dynamic Sync tab.

Dynamic Sync Settings

  • Enable Dynamic Sync? Turns the feature on.
  • GM User used for Syncing The GM user whose session sends the changes to D&D Beyond.
  • Sync selection Choose which changes are synced: currency, hit points, hit dice, action usage, inspiration, conditions, death saves, spells prepared, spell slots, spells known, equipment and XP.

Click Save Changes.

Enable a Character​

Log in as the GM user selected above and open the character's Character Manager. On the Update D&DBeyond tab tick Enable Dynamic Updates to D&D Beyond?.

Repeat this for each character you want to sync.
