My data is updated, how can I refresh my map automatically?

How Builder Maps Handle Data Updates

When accessing a Builder map through your CARTO account or its Publish panel links, the map automatically displays current dataset information. However, if you are changing the data while the map is being viewed, the Map View will not automatically refresh upon dataset update.

Solution

The recommended approach involves leveraging browser functionality. You can make an embedded Builder map refresh automatically by using JavaScript to reload the page it’s embedded in, as described in Mozilla’s documentation on the Location reload API.

This workaround allows you to trigger page refreshes programmatically, ensuring your embedded map displays the latest data when underlying datasets change.
