I found the answer. I [rubber ducked](https://rubberduckdebugging.com/) myself. Typing out your problems is often the fastest way to fix them.

According to [this post](https://forum.pydio.com/t/api-for-synchronizing-indexing-system-files/3312/2) from @zayn the correct details are:

- method: `PUT`
- endpoint: `/a/jobs/user/datasource-resync`
- body: `{"JobName":"datasource-resync","JsonParameters":"{\"dsName\":\"pydiods1\"}"}`

I added four calls to my test bed:

I adjusted each Change node to use the datasource-resync service:

I checked to make sure the json payload was properly formatted:

Then I triggered each one successfully:

Both the container logs and the cells console show progress and success.

I’m quite happy with that 🙂
