Manual Airtable Sync

The Sync Control table in the Airtable Product Database lets editors manually trigger the Airtable synchronization and check its latest status.

The table contains one main control record, usually named Manual Sync Function.

Available Controls

Field or button	What it does
Sync	Starts a new Airtable-to-Azure synchronization. This action is asynchronous, so it does not wait for the full synchronization to finish.
Get Sync Status	Refreshes the status of the latest manual synchronization. Use it after starting a sync to check whether it has completed.
Last Sync Updated At	Shows when the sync status was last updated.
Last Sync Status	Shows the current state of the latest sync.
Last Sync Message	Shows a short human-readable result or progress message.

How To Run A Manual Sync

1. Open the Sync Control table in Airtable.
2. In the Manual Sync Function row, click Sync.
3. Wait approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Click Get Sync Status to refresh the result.
5. Confirm that Last Sync Status shows completed.
6. Review Last Sync Message if you need more detail.

Statuses

Status	Meaning
queued	The synchronization request has been accepted and is waiting to start.
running	The synchronization is currently processing Airtable data and publishing the output.
completed	The synchronization finished successfully.
failed	The synchronization did not complete successfully. Check Last Sync Message and contact the development team if the issue persists.
already-running	Another synchronization is already in progress. Wait until it finishes before starting another one.

Duplicate Sync Behavior

Only one synchronization can run at a time.

If a scheduled or manual sync is already running:

• the new manual request will not start another parallel sync,
• Airtable may show that a synchronization is already running,
• the editor should wait and check the status again later.

What Gets Synchronized

The manual action runs the same Airtable synchronization process as the scheduled synchronization and republishes the generated product data used by the website.

Troubleshooting

Status Stays Queued Or Running

• Wait a few minutes and click Get Sync Status again.
• Normal duration is approximately 1 to 2 minutes.

Status Is Failed

• Read Last Sync Message.
• Retry once after confirming no other sync is running.
• If it fails again, contact the development team.

Another Sync Is Already Running

• Wait for the current sync to finish.
• Click Get Sync Status again later.

No Visible Website Change

• Confirm the status is completed.
• Verify that the Airtable record changes were saved.
• Allow for normal application caching or page refresh behavior.
• Contact the development team if the generated page still shows old data.
