Let them know
Google expects the standard sitemap protocol in all formats.
Google does not currently consume the <priority>
attribute in sitemaps.
You can also submit RSS or Atom files.
Google doesn't check a sitemap every time a site is crawled; a sitemap is checked only the first time that we notice it, and thereafter only when you ping us to let us know that it's changed. Alert Google about a sitemap only when it's new or updated; don't submit or ping unchanged sitemaps multiple times.
You can use e.g. got an HTTP request library for Node.js or visit URL manually
import got from 'got';
await got.get('https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ping?sitemap=URL');
