Refresh Rates From Data Sources Into Softr

I have a form on my site that my users can submit. This form then triggers an API call which retrieves, analyzes and sorts data and takes about 10-15 seconds to do so. This data is put in the data source (currently google sheets).
This data is then pulled in by Softr into a List.

The problem I’m running into is that it takes a long time for that data to get pulled into Softr, even though the data source has the new information available.

What are some recommended ways to increase the refresh rates of Softr pulling or checking for new data in the data source so that it can be instantaneous or at maximum a minute or two.

Thanks!

The way it works google sheet is informing us about a change and we pull the data and it can take 3 mins until google decides to inform us about data change…

Thanks.
Is there a way to make it go faster? Can google sheets be pinged or something?
Are other data sources updated/synced in Softr faster? I can switch if its more instant…

Hey,

I’m using Airtable and have users submit forms daily.

A problem I had was that after they submitted, the data didn’t show directly on the page they were on - resulting in them submitting several forms.

I found this code snippet which refreshes the page after each submission. It works great and I can see all new data instantly.

Perhaps that’d work?

See here: Refresh Page after form submission

My code:

<script>
	window.addEventListener('submit-form-success-form3', () => {
	  setTimeout(() => {
               window.location.reload()
        }, 1000);
	});
</script>
<script>
	window.addEventListener('submit-form-success-BLOCK_ID', () => {
	  setTimeout(() => {
               window.location.reload()
        }, 1000);
	});
</script>
