How can I reduce Airtable sync time between two bases

Is there any way to shorten the sync interval or create a setup where changes sync automatically in real time between bases — maybe using automations or scripts inside Airtable itself (without third-party tools like Zapier or Make)?

Any suggestions or examples would really help ..

Yeah, without Zapier or Make your only option is an automation with a Run a Script action using the Web API to update the other base.  Here’s a link to the docs: https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/introduction

How long’s the sync interval for you?  Usually comes through within a couple of seconds for me so I’m not sure how much better using an automation + script is going to be, really
