> The goal shows the Sigma icon on its connection, and its value updates without a check-in from you.

## After you connect Sigma {#what-happens-next}

Brev reads the value at the frequency you picked. At Every 30 minutes, it reads every 30 minutes from 7 AM to 7 PM on weekdays (Sydney, New York or San Francisco time). Otherwise, it reads every 4 hours.

- To read it now, click the refresh icon on the goal's connection. An unchanged value adds no check-in.
- To see what it reads, hover over the connection or click its gear. The gear also changes the frequency.
- You can still add your own check-ins, for example to explain a change.
