}Trigger connector sync
Queues a new synchronization run for an investment_research or sharepoint connector. For investment_research, send a JSON body with date_limit (calendar date, YYYY-MM-DD) so the broker sync includes research from that date onward according to platform rules. For sharepoint, send an empty JSON body ({}). Only content not already ingested will be synced.
