Solved: Delayed Sync : Force App Sync with grouped action ... - Page 2

I have a grouped execution of actions on a table for when a user submits a form. I would like to get an action that forces a sync because I have delayed sync enabled and realized that we are having some data loss from people closing their apps before the form was fully submitted.

I have tried using the LINKTOROW()&"&at="&(NOW()+1) as seen on other posts but it does not work when it is part of a grouped sequence of actions. It will not force the app to update/sync and just continue on with the delayed sync.

Here’s a breakdown of the grouped actions when Form Submitted triggers it (via form saved behavior)

App: Go to another view within this app
LINKTOROW([ID], "Jobs-Assigned_Detail")&"&at="&(NOW()+1)
Data: Set the value of some columns : Job status change
Data: Set the value of some columns : DateTime capture
Data: Set the value of some columns : UserEmail capture

Any ideas on what I could do to mitigate this?

Huh, that seems to have worked. Odd because I remember doing that earlier last week and it didn’t work. Fabian with the magic touch, Thank you!

Answer:
If you are making use of Delayed Sync and would like to force a sync using LINKTOROW()&"&at="&(NOW()+1) on a grouped sequence of actions, ensure the sync is at the END of the stack.

In my case:
On Form Saved (On Reports Table)

Data: Execute an action on a set of rows (Target table Jobs) : Report Submitted Action

Report Submitted Action (Grouped Execution)

Data: Set the value of some columns : Job status change
Data: Set the value of some columns : DateTime capture
Data: Set the value of some columns : UserEmail capture
App: Go to another view within this app
LINKTOROW([ID], "Jobs-Assigned_Detail")&"&at="&(NOW()+1)
