When the employee signs into the clover device, can you tell us what event or message we can get that will inform us when the employee presses the SYNC button on the ORDERS page?

How to know when employee presses SYNC on orders
Can you give some more background on what you are actually trying to accomplish? Pressing the button won't have any effect if the device is offline. Syncs happen automatically and don't require a button press. Also the Orders sync button is no different from many other Sync buttons that appear in other applications.
Hmm I'm still not clear on what you are trying to do. Maybe you can try explaining it in the form of a use-case that would describe what the expected behavior is. Here is an example: Every time a new Order is created a specific item chosen by the merchant in my app is added to the Order.
Still not 100% clear, please use more words to describe in as much detail the exact scenario. It sound like you have your own web server that makes an REST API call to the Clover web server to create a Clover Order, then you are wondering when/how to get that order to show up on a Clover device?
Given what you have described, I suspect that the best solution is actually going to be working with WebHooks.
I say this because focusing on reacting to an individual device synching is going to be more complicated and unreliable than making sure your data is already up to date on the platform. As long as your Order modifications are in place before a merchant synchs (manually, or automatically - which happens regularly), your update will be included in the synch.
By using WebHooks, you can have your jobs take place in response to specific trigger events in the merchant's data (e.g. new payment, order modification, etc), in most use-cases this means you can keep your changes up to date in near real-time instead of worrying about reacting to UI input.
