Pushing & Loading Snapshot Updates to Client Accounts
Modified on: Tue, 25 Nov, 2025 at 5:20 AM
What’s the Difference?
- Pushing Updates = Sends changes from an updated snapshot to sub-accounts that previously loaded it.
- Loading a Snapshot = Adds snapshot items into an existing sub-account without deleting or modifying existing content.
Part 1: Pushing Updates to Sub-Accounts When to Use:
You’ve made changes to your original sub-account and refreshed the snapshot - now you want to sync those updates to sub-accounts that previously loaded that snapshot.
Important: Always refresh the snapshot before pushing updates to ensure the latest changes are included.
How to Push Snapshot Updates
- Go to Agency View > Account Snapshots
- Locate your snapshot and click the ? Refresh icon to pull in recent changes
- Then click the Push Updates icon next to the snapshot
- Confirm the prompt by clicking OK
- Select the sub-accounts you want to update.
- Choose which assets to push (e.g., workflows, funnels, forms)
What Happens When You Push Updates?
- New assets added via snapshot refresh will be added to the sub-accounts
- Existing assets (e.g., workflows, campaigns) will be overwritten with the latest version in the snapshot
Any custom changes made by the client to snapshot-linked assets will be lost unless they’re duplicated first
Important Rules to Know:
| Behavior | Outcome |
| Items originally created by the snapshot | Will be overwritten during push |
| Items edited manually in the sub-account | Will be reverted if included in push |
| Items duplicated by the user (e.g., copy of a campaign) | Safe - not touched |
| Custom Values | Never edited or deleted |
| Users (e.g., assigned in campaigns) | Not modified |
| External agency accounts | Cannot receive push updates - they must re-import via shared link |
Pro Tip: How to Prevent Overwrites
If you want to let clients customize a campaign without it being overwritten:
- Create a copy of the original item (e.g., “Campaign X (Copy)”)
- Instruct the client to make edits to the copied version
- Update any connected automations to use the copy instead
The copied version is not tracked by the snapshot and will remain untouched during updates.
Part 2: Loading Snapshots into Existing Accounts
This is for adding snapshot content into a live sub-account manually.
What Happens:
-
Nothing gets deleted
-
Snapshot items are added on top of existing content
-
If you load the same snapshot multiple times, items will duplicate
-
For agencies loading snapshots into 100+ accounts:
- The first 100 are processed immediately
- Next 100 after 10 minutes
- Then every 10 minutes thereafter in batches of 100
Use Load Snapshot if you’re onboarding a client with a template
Use Push Update if they’ve already been onboarded and need synced changes
