Automate Powershell Force OneDrive to Re Sync if there is a Sync Error noted

Question

we use an RMM to automate powershell scripts to workdevices to monitor them.

We get a lot of "OneDrive for Business, error with syncing" alerts. What I always see is that if OneDrive is restarted (manually) the sync is done again and the error is solved.

Do people have a powershell script to "re sync", a script that we can initialize when an alert like this is coming up. So we don't have to manually restart or reïnstall onedrive to solve it
