Disable or pause a site

By default, sites are always active in the platform. They import data from your data sources, process it by applying rule boxes and mapping attributes, and export it to the selected channels. If you want to deactivate a site, there are two (2) options:

  1. Pause a site's export. In this case, the site still imports data from your data sources and processes it without exporting it to any channels.

  2. Disable a site. In this case, the site no longer imports, processes, or exports any data. Even if the site uses scheduling or triggering settings, no run occurs.
