Great product! Quick question: any plans to implement two way syncing between systems? At the moment you can only create new "items" via a trigger or action; being able to sync would be a very powerful feature and would result in a huge increase in usage from our customers.

Two way syncing with our ethos of mass connections would be very difficult - not that we are against it - we'd love to support more update actions vs only create actions. The devil is in the details there - but don't expect Zapier to focus entirely on two way syncing anytime soon. Our recent multi-step zap launch supporting complex workflows is our main focus.
