Connecting a calendar used to end in a wait. The account was linked, the calendars were listed, and then nothing visibly happened until the next scheduled run came around — which on the free plan could be half an hour of staring at an empty destination wondering whether the setup had worked.
Connecting now triggers a sync straight away. Events start arriving while you are still on the page, which turns the first minute after setup from a question into a confirmation, and means a mistake in your mapping shows up immediately rather than after the delay.
The same applies when you change something that affects what gets copied. Adjusting which calendars feed a destination asks for a sync rather than waiting for the schedule to notice, so the thing you just changed is the thing you can go and check.
