# Portal Push

Portlets can be automatically updated by using the Portal Push functionality. If an updated is done in one portlet, a push event can trigger updates to connected portlets. A portal push rest connector must be configured to access this functionality.

## Studio - Workflow

1. Create a table element with two columns (use the exact column names):
   * PortletInternalName
   * Action
2. In the PortletInternalName column enter the internal names of the portlets that are to be refreshed
3. In the Action column enter REFRESH
4. Create a Machine step to trigger the push event, using the PortalPush connector.

            {"PortletInternalName":"pprv1","Action":"REFRESH"}
