By default, Mapsly imports changes from Freshworks by schedule with 10-, 20-, 30-minute or 1-hour intervals. But when you need changes in Freshworks to be immediately reflected in Mapsly you can use Freshworks webhooks with Mapsly API to create, update and delete data in Mapsly immediately.
This guide will help you set up real-time sync of new Contacts to Mapsly:
