[BUDI-7802] Auto refresh data provider on an interval

[mjashanks]

Set up a data provider to auto-refresh on an interval.

This has been asked for a few times before and I know that we want to do this. It seems that it's got lost along the way. https://github.com/Budibase/budibase/issues/2427 was closed because we did the manual refresh part of it.

I'm highly interested in fully automated refreshing initiated by any change to data on the server. Imagine something like push notifications.

My goal is to integrate BB with Grist (probably as "custom widget" in the Grist's terminology as if integrated upside down - BB as frontend and Grist as a data source - it'd scratch most of the Grist's advantages). Note Grist is "live/reactive by default" in its widgets (uses a web socket or alike in the background).

Just to cross-reference another potentially related BB discussion: https://github.com/Budibase/budibase/discussions/1609 .

Any news about this? We also want auto refresh data.

[Valdri]

I am also very interested in this feature but unfortunately, I have not seen it on the budibase roadmap.

[Valdri]

My current workaround is to use chrome addon to click a hidden refresh button at intervals.

[MichalisDBA]

Any chance getting this feature with latest budibase versions?

[cstasius]

Interested as well

+1 needed this feature

[MichalisDBA]

Is it released with the new version 2 now?

[tristndev]

+1 this seems like a relatively simple but essential and needed feature that is a show stopper for some of our applications.

[andiamvinay]

Any update on this one? @mjashanks

[mahxds]

missing this feature too... specially when modal screens open, and change values, main page needs to be updated

[ErielCruz]

Interested in this too

Here is a budibase plugin to define a time interval and execute a set of actions every x seconds (including refreshing data provider): https://github.com/MartinPicc/budibase-interval-plugin Disclaimer: I'm the author of this plugin, let me know if you have any feedback

Still relevant.

Definetely needed in order to refresh dashboards every x mintues

[pmendl]

+1 Either allow access to windows and location (fast-but-dirty solution) or make some Action like refresh dataprovider, reload form grid etc. available. I have all ready for our monitoring screen, except it does not actualize...

[Lanhild]

@melohagan has this issue been closed because this feature will not be implemented or because the team tracks it internally?

[melohagan]

@Lanhild No - accidentally closed!

[ConorWebb96]

Closing as this has been completed
