Altru Real-Time Data Updates with Social Good Software

January 30, 2021

Learn how the Altru real-time data updates work with Social Good Software. You will learn how we connect into Altru using the API and how the software application listens to data events from Altru.

Once the data event happens each application will be notified and trigger an update accordingly for real-time data.

My Calendars timestamp is not updating? This is because your calendar has no new data. The moment new data becomes available your calendar will be updated automatically.

I’m not seeing any new data is this working? Don’t worry if you see an empty activity tab. This just means there is no new data available. The moment data becomes available it will be updated on the activity tab of the application.
