Is there a way to automate the sync for CardDAV address books?

BillH

I have set up my address book as CardDAV connecting to my Google Contacts. When I update a contact in my Google Contacts online (such as changing the address or phone number), the change doesn't get synced to my Thunderbird contacts unless I go into my TB address book and do a synchronization.

Can my Thunderbird address book be made to automatically sync with Google Contacts every so often?

Yes, I misread the question. The syncing of a CardDAV address book is also found under Properties (see picture).

Right-click the calendar in the left pane of the Calendar tab, Properties, 'Refresh calendar'...

Thanks for the reply, but I was talking about the address book (contacts) not the calendar. I don't use the Thunderbird calendar. And I was looking for a way to make the address book sync automatiic... I already know how to do it manually.

This is just what I was looking for. Thanks!
