I have built a system where various tables for different Internal departments sync to a “target” table where an API takes the data and uses it in a Warehouse management system. The idea is to use this target table as a place where everything is put together, ideally without any human intervention.
However now I've just read the following in the sync support section:
Automatic syncs will eventually stop on bases that don't have any recent activity. To keep automatic syncs active make sure that some kind of action (i.e. create a record, update a record, create a new view, etc.) is being performed in the base on a regular basis by automations, humans, or a combination of the two.
I wonder how that will affect my target table in the long run.
- Do new rows that are created via the sync count as 'created record' even though there is no human intervention in the target table?
- The use of this table is periodic, as the nature of my business is seasonal. So to avoid any sync to stop working, will a periodically run automation, say a weekly automation will click a check box. Will that be enough to keep the sync running?
- It says the automatic sync will eventually stop being active. Does anyone know what time horizon this is? weeks, months, half a year?
