Source Considerations
-
Pagination: An API response for each Salesloft object fetches one page with up to 100 records.
-
Rate Limit: Salesloft imposes a limit of 600 API calls per minute. If the limit is exceeded, Hevo defers the ingestion till the limits reset.
Limitations
-
Hevo currently does not support deletes for Salesloft. Therefore, any data deleted in the Source may continue to exist in the Destination.
-
Hevo does not provide you with the option to select the historical sync duration for loading historical data. All the historical data in your Salesloft account is loaded.
-
Hevo does not load an Event into the Destination table if its size exceeds 128 MB, which may lead to discrepancies between your Source and Destination data. To avoid such a scenario, ensure that each row in your Source objects contains less than 100 MB of data.
