I have an Integromat action that fills my Gsheet but it takes forever for the data to synch.
Is there a way to push for the data synchronizations from the sheet to glide tables?
I on the pro plan and have the reload sheet on “while editing or using the app”

Would an action to trigger a sheet reload (I think it’s a function called flush) work here @Darren_Murphy?

No, I don’t believe [flush()](https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/spreadsheet-app#flush) will help here.
I’m not aware of any way to programatically force/trigger a re-sync with Glide.

But synchronize data to Glide Table?
As far I know it can’t be done, Give me the trick if I am wrong please.
Try to synchronize or fill out a table using Integromat isn’t a cheap process/solution. Every record read and written by Integromat is counted as one action and if your dataset has 2000 records (rows) and you create a synchronization task everyday (2-3 times per day), there will not be an Integromat’s plan able to be paid! ☹

> Hello, Failing to have an import function. I used a fairly simple method to import 3 tables of around 400 rows each, it’s not ideal, but it’s better than editing everything. For simplicity You have a Sheet Source table and a Glide Destination table. Add a column to your Sheet Source “Copy ok” of type boolean. Create a List style tab with the Sheet Source as the source. And as filter “Copy ok is not 1” Then use a custom action ADD row, with as Sheet “Glide Destination” then mat…

Ah ok, I already knew that great tip but I was thinking in one automatic and native.
Thanks for reminding me this @Darren_Murphy

Can you please explain how this will help with syncing Gsheet to glide? I see that this just updats rows within glide table.

It wont.
I was responding to the post from @gvalero
As I mentioned in my earlier response, I’m not aware of any way to trigger or force a sync, (other than what’s already [documented](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/guides/quick-starts/getting-started/background-refresh).)
