Real-Time Updates

Overview

Everyone sees the latest version, always.

Real-Time Updates is the substrate that makes CodeBlox feel alive. When someone updates a record, every other user looking at it sees the change instantly. Kanban cards move on other screens as soon as you drag them. Dashboards refresh KPIs as numbers change. Comments appear in threads the moment they are posted.

  • Remote teams
  • Operations
  • Support
  • Sales
  • Under the hood, CodeBlox uses WebSocket connections to push changes to every connected client within milliseconds. The optimistic-update layer means your own changes appear instantly with a confirmation flash; other users' changes appear with a brief highlight so you know what just changed. Presence indicators show who else is currently viewing the same record, with a colored cursor where they're editing.
  • The benefits compound: standups become quick board glances. Approvals get reviewed and responded to in minutes, not hours. Customer support sees ticket updates as agents type. Operations teams catch SLA risks the moment a status changes. Data quality improves because everyone is editing the same source of truth, not a cached copy from this morning. And it all works in the background, with no configuration required.
How it works

01

Just use the product

Real-time updates are on by default for every Blox, every form, every view. No setup, no configuration.

02

See changes propagate

When you edit a record, others see the change within ~100ms. Brief highlights show what just changed.

03

Collaborate live

Presence indicators show who is viewing what. Co-editing prevents conflicts. Comments appear as posted.

Capabilities

What Real-Time Updates brings to your team

  • WebSocket-based push | Persistent connections push changes to every connected client within milliseconds, no polling.
  • Presence indicators | See who else is viewing the same record or board, with colored cursors and avatars.
  • Optimistic UI | Your changes appear instantly with confirmation; rollback gracefully if a change fails.
  • Conflict-free co-editing | Multiple users can edit different fields on the same record simultaneously without overwriting each other.
  • Live dashboard refresh | KPIs, charts, and tables update the moment underlying data changes, no manual refresh.
  • Mobile-aware | Real-time updates work on the mobile app too, including background notifications for critical changes.
  • Activity feed integration | Changes appear in the activity feed in real time, with attribution and rollback links.
  • Bandwidth-efficient | Diff-based updates send only what changed, not the full record, fast even on slow connections.

Common use cases

How teams put Real-Time Updates to work

Patterns we see most often, across industries and team sizes.

  • Distributed daily standups | Team across timezones uses the Kanban board live. Cards move as they happen, presence shows who is online.
  • Customer support coordination | Multiple agents working the same queue see each ticket's status change as colleagues take ownership.
  • Approval routing | When a manager approves, the next reviewer is notified instantly and the workflow advances within seconds.
  • Live operations dashboards | Ops centers watch dashboards on big screens that update the moment anything happens, no F5 required.
FAQ

Questions, answered.

Common questions about Real-Time Updates. Don't see yours? Get in touch.

Does the real-time updates feature affect performance for large workspaces?
+

No. CodeBlox real-time updates features use diff-based transmission that sends only what changed, not full record payloads. This keeps bandwidth usage low and performance fast even in large workspaces with thousands of active records and dozens of concurrent users making edits simultaneously.

What happens when two users edit the same field at the same time?
+

CodeBlox real-time database updates use an optimistic concurrency model with field-level conflict detection. If two users edit the same field simultaneously, CodeBlox surfaces the conflict clearly and lets each user see what the other changed so the resolution is transparent and no work is silently lost.

Does the real-time updates feature work on mobile?
+

Yes. CodeBlox real-time updates features work fully on iOS and Android. The mobile app maintains a persistent WebSocket connection and delivers background notifications for critical changes so your team stays in sync whether they are at a desk or working from a mobile device in the field.

How fast are real-time database updates in CodeBlox?
+

CodeBlox delivers real-time database updates in under 100 milliseconds for connected clients on standard network conditions. The WebSocket architecture means changes are pushed the instant they are committed, not polled on a timer, so your team sees updates nearly as fast as they are made.

Do real-time updates features work across all Blox and views?
+

Yes. CodeBlox real-time updates features are on by default across every Blox, every view type, every dashboard, and every form. There is no configuration required to activate real-time database updates and no views or record types that are excluded from live propagation.
