When you use direct data, the latest data is pulled directly from the Salesforce object with each recipe run, bypassing the data sync step. Direct data is designed to access a small number of objects instead of optimizing for performance as is the case with data sync connected objects. After you decide to use direct data, you can use it in recipes, add filtering, and switch the data to be connected instead.").
