SyncWith report errors

Common errors that could occur when creating, editing or refreshing reports using SyncWith

Updated over a week ago

Hitting our 25mb data limit

SyncWith currently has a 25mb limit per report refresh. This doesn't impact many users, but sometimes if you're running a report that returns a lot of data (eg many rows and columns) you can run into this.

This error message usually looks like this Network request failed: the API returned a response greater than our limit of 26214400 bytes. To work around this issue you need to reduce the amount of data being returned. To reduce the amount of data you can request fewer columns, or try to reduce the number rows. Often the best way to reduce the number of rows is by using a shorter date range.

Refresh failed: Source temporarily unavailable

The error code for this error is service-temporarily-unavailable.

This error can show up on the status row above your report in Google Sheets. It means that SyncWith is having trouble getting the necessary data from the data source (eg Facebook Ads, Google Ads etc). If this is a scheduled report SyncWith will keep trying many times over the course of the next week, in the hopes that the report can run successfully, in which case in many cases this will resolve itself.

If its not resolving itself, you might need to look closer into the error. To get more details please follow these steps:

  1. Open the SyncWith for Google Sheets sidebar

  2. Find the report in the list of your reports (don't click/open it yet)

  3. You should see a "Refresh failed" or "Delayed" status, in red or yellow, click that to see more details about the issue

Facebook Ads

Please reduce the amount of data you're asking for, then retry your request

Facebook ads sometimes refuses certain data requests either temporarily or ongoing. Trying again is often a good idea, another option is to try to reduce the amount of data requested either by shortening the date range or removing colums.
