What does refresh frequency mean?

2sync checks your Notion database and connected tools on a fixed schedule to find new or changed items. We call this schedule the refresh frequency.

It is how often 2sync scans your configured timeframe and filters, then syncs anything that qualifies.

How often does it run?

The default interval depends on your plan

  • Solo: 5 minutes
  • Premium: 3 minutes
  • Pro: 2 minutes

You can see or change the frequency in your automation settings under Sync Settings -> Sync frequency.

2sync automation settings, Advanced settings: Sync frequency dropdown set to 5 minutes, with note that synchronization is not real time and you can choose how often 2sync checks for changes.

Can I refresh manually?

Yes, you can. Open the 2sync app, select your automation, and click on the Sync Now button. This is useful after a large import or when you need to take immediate action.

ℹ️ Note: First runs on large databases can take longer because 2sync has to build the initial links. If it still feels slow later, check our troubleshooting guide.
