You can access these settings in the **Settings** application under the **Integration** ->**Integration bus** category. The settings in this category allow you to adjust the functionality of the [integration bus](https://docs.kentico.com/13/integrating-3rd-party-systems/using-the-integration-bus.md), which can connect Xperience with external third party systems. The integration bus synchronizes objects and pages (in both directions).

| Enable system integration bus | Allows logging and processing of incoming and outgoing integration tasks.
Integration tasks represent individual synchronization operations for objects or pages (create, update, delete etc.). The synchronization process consists of two steps:
**Logging** – creation of integration tasks for actions that require synchronization.
**Processing** – execution of the integration tasks.
You can enable or disable logging/processing of incoming/outgoing tasks separately through the other settings in the category. |
| Enable logging of incoming tasks | Indicates if the integration bus logs integration tasks received from external systems.
To log tasks, the **Enable system integration bus** setting must also be enabled. |
| Enable processing of incoming tasks | Check to allow processing of integration tasks incoming from external systems.
To process tasks, the **Enable system integration bus** setting must also be enabled. |
| Enable logging of outgoing tasks | Indicates if the integration bus logs changes made to pages and objects in Xperience as outgoing integration tasks.
To log tasks, the **Enable system integration bus** setting must also be enabled. |
| Enable processing of outgoing tasks | Check to allow processing of outgoing integration tasks.
To process tasks, the **Enable system integration bus** setting must also be enabled. |
