Sync tables are refreshed in 1 of 2 ways.

  1. On the pre-selected schedule OR
  2. Manually
I'm pretty sure I remember someone talking about submitting a UserVoice request so that the manual Sync refresh can be initiated via the API, but I'm not 100% on that. 

The other option - if you need the table refreshed real-time - would be to disconnect the Sync and have it updated using Webhooks/Automations/Pipelines. This can be a pain to setup if you have a lot of fields, but I've implemented that in several situations and it works very well. Just remember to either lock down the fake-Sync table OR setup a 2nd set of updates that go the other way.
