Data from external systems like booking systems and shift scheduling systems is updated at regular intervals and cached locally in the PaxFlow application. In cases where the data from these third party applications needs to be instantly imported into the system, a manual refresh can be triggered. There are multiple options to update specific data in the application. Whenever a refresh is requested, number of items updated are shown after the refresh.

To use the manual cache refresh tool, go to the Integrations and click the caches symbol next to the settings button of your booking system integration.

Refresh a booking: To refresh a booking, enter the booking code and click Refresh. This fetches all the details about a particular booking from the back end system.

Refresh Tours: This option is used to reload the tours information from the connected booking system. Click Refresh tours in case changes where made to the tour setup and the new data should be imported.

Refresh pickup places: This option reloads the list of pickup locations from the booking system in case new ones got added.
