1. A method for synchronizing data in a multi-tenant database environment, the method comprising:

  • receiving at a host system, a request from a user system to synchronize a first object with a second object; and

    as a result of the request, synchronizing the first object with the second object by at least after workflow, if a value stored in a first element of the first object changed, determining whether a second object is being synchronized to the first object;

    if the second object is being synchronized to the first object, updating the second object, such that a second element that corresponds to the first element, but is in the second object, has a value that agrees with the value stored in the first element;

    performing one or more tests whose results are indicative of whether a condition exists that leads to an infinite loop; and

    if the condition is not detected, saving the updating.
