Metric integration FAQs

Q: When does Smaply refresh metric data?

A: Smaply checks for updated metric data only when you open the metric section or access a map with a metric. If the data is over 1 hour old, it fetches the latest data. There’s no constant background refresh— updates happen on access to keep metrics current within about an hour.
