Limitations

  • The API is very quick to throttle so running 2 or more extracts at once is not recommended.
  • Large data volumes can take a long time to run.

🚧

Duplicates on Campaign Clicks report for connector version 0.0.3

  • Older versions of the connector (earlier than 0.0.3) had the chance of missing clicks when extracting of data has started very soon after a campaign has been created. This is resolved in version 0.0.3.
  • The solution for the above problem means that the Campaign Clicks report (on connector version 0.0.3) will have duplicates when ran incrementally. These need to be dealt with in transforms.
