Hi Everyone,  
I am enjoying the glide app , its nice community and good answers too. I have been building an restaurant management APP. one of the functionality is Employee time register.  
Everyday i have google script that copy time registered data into another sheet and clears the time register data from parent sheet which is connected to the buttons in the glide app to register check in and check out time.

Next day i have to sync the google sheet data manually then all the check in and check out buttons are available.

IS there way i can automate this data sync from google sheet? I am using Free plan.

I assume you are on a legacy free plan rather than a new free plan since your app is connected to a google sheet?

I don’t remember off the top of my head if it’s available on legacy free plans, but there is an extra sync function that syncs every 5 minutes or so, but it can use up your updates faster.

If that doesn’t work, you could probably add a button that writes a timestamp to any extra column in any row/column in any table connected to the google sheet. This should be enough to initiate the sync process.

HI Jeff\_Hager  
Yes it is Legacy Free plan. Extra sync function is available for Maker plan. I tried to implement timestamp then it actually updated the google excel sheet. Thanks for suggestions.
