Sync without Refresh

[tvinci]

Hello,

I have two “categories” of users in my app: Dispatchers and Drivers. Dispatchers can communicate with drivers through the use of a “Dispatchers Notes” column that I created. The problem is that when the Dispatcher enters notes, the driver only sees the notes after they refresh the app. Is there a way to implement real-time syncing in AppSheet?

Thanks
Tiffany

Hi @tvinci data is save to your tables app have to sync to update the app with the new data captured this is dependent on the user starting the app or refreshing.

Hi @Francios,

So what you’re basically saying is that what I’m suggesting isn’t possible?

[Francios]

Yes

No.

@tvinci you can use a Workflow with Notification for that.

help.appsheet.com

Sending Notifications from a Workflow Rule or Scheduled Report

A Workflow Rule can send a push notification when data changes. A Scheduled Report can send a push notification on a schedule you specify.

I thought you needed at least 10 licenses for that.

Why do you think so?

AppSheet Pricing

Take as much time as you need while building your business app for free, using features from any plan level, with up to 10 users testing your app & providing feedback. Subscribe to a plan when you're ready to deploy apps to the rest of your team....

“Email, SMS, and push notifications” can be used also in the Premium Plan with just 1 Licence.

[tvinci]

Oh my mistake. I’ve tried doing this before and when I tried to whitelabel the app I received an email saying I needed more licenses. I’ll try again.

[Fabian_Weller]

Yes. Whitelabel apps require either a PRO plan with a minimum of 10 user licenses, or the PUBLISHER PRO plan.
But this has nothing to do with the Notifications.

[tvinci]

Okay so I configured a notification. I click on the “Test” button to see if it’s working and all the Rule Conditions say “False.” Do I have to download it as a mobile app to test it?

Thank you @Fabian
