I’m using Xano, and sometimes I need data to update more quickly on Noloco than the regular sync time. What is the best way to force update a record via the Noloco API?

Spoke to Noloco about this and here is the response for future reference:

In summary, if you “update” the record through the Noloco API it will pull the latest values for that record from Xano (or any other data source)

It doesn’t even need to be a useful update it could be just setting the _name_ to be the same value (or equivalent) and we will send that to Xano and then update the latest values from Xano
