Initial knowledge fetch
After connecting an app, Butler will fetch past data. Butler will only fetch data in the scopes that you allow for each app.For example, I can choose to only give Butler access to a subset of pages in my Notion.
On the Standard plan, Butler initially fetches data created or mutated within the last three months for all apps. Upgrading to Pro allows Butler to fetch the last six months instead.
Automatic syncs
Butler will automatically keep it’s knowledge base updated by syncing (fetching) recently mutated or newly created data since the last sync. Butler will refresh data from all of your connected apps every hour, but you can choose to manually sync new data at any time at will.Gmail
