API Update Mode in Settings
Release Date:
February 1, 2024
Flight Planning
A new API setting offers you greater control regarding updates within ForeFlight Dispatch. The API Update Mode allows you to specify the timing for the API to be permitted to make changes, providing clarity and control over when updates from the API are permitted. You can access these settings by navigating to Settings > Planning Settings > Scheduling Integration > API update mode. There are four options available: Let ForeFlight Dispatch decide, Block after filing, Block after dispatch changes, and Block after release. These new options allow you to manage when the API stops accepting flight updates into Dispatch, catering to your specific scheduling needs and preferences.
