Custom Data Connector Refresh

To capture changes to data, does the connector auto-requery/re-sync or is there a manual refresh feature in Power BI? Also how can I refresh through Visual Studio.

Hi @prince_nema11 ,

 

As far as I know, you need to configure power bi gateway with your custom connector and data source credential. Then you can set schedule refresh or manual refresh dataset in Power BI Service.

For reference: 

Use custom data connectors with the on-premises data gateway

Configure scheduled refresh
