Sync table with script

[RdMedia_srl]

Hi all, is it possible to run the “Sync now” command which synchronizes the records from the source base through a script? I would like to create an automation that has a webhook as its trigger and this script as an action. This is because I have a scenario on Integromat which sometimes fails as it does not find the record that has not yet been synchronized (despite there is a 5 minute “sleep” module).

Thanks everyone for the help.

Hi all! So, here’s the use case that spurred some thinking… I have a HUGE, monster of a base that is a bit out of control. It contains many intricate rollups that drive some housekeeping/reporting processes. Now that Airtable Sync is available, I’m working on moving those high-overhead processes out to their own bases in the hopes of speeding up the “master” base. One of those processes is a nightly report. The report is driven off of a view in the master base. I synced this view over to a new…

So neither this nor that linked thread seems to answer the question: Can I script the syncing action?

A basic situation: I want to add a contact to my Contacts base, which syncs with a Donations base that's kept separate so not everyone can see it, and then add the donation in Donations.

But when I go to Donations, I have to manually sync or wait 5 minutes. I can do this myself, but my end user is not Airtable-fluent, so I wish the new contact would show up in the synced base right away.
