Improvements to FTP & S3 Data Connector Sync Reliability and Visibility
February 14th, 2026
We've made significant improvements to our FTP and S3 data connectors to improve sync reliability, visibility, and data protection.
What's Improved
More Predictable Sync Behavior
- Manual syncs now behave consistently and follow your configured file selection settings.
- Clear visibility into whether new data was ingested or if no updated files were found.
Clearer Sync History
- Sync records are now grouped and easier to interpret.
- Each sync shows the date range of the data that was ingested.
- Improved status messaging ("in progress" vs "completed").
Stronger Data Validation
- If required columns (such as account or date fields) are missing from a file, the sync fails safely with a clear error message.
- Prevents unintended data overwrites or deletions.
Improved Handling of Non-Numeric Values
- Metric columns containing values like empty strings or "NA" will no longer cause ingestion failures.
- These values are now safely treated as null.
More Reliable Data Flow
- Non–account-matched FTP/S3 data now loads correctly into datasets.
- Sync processing has been migrated to a more robust ingestion system designed for improved scalability and monitoring.
What This Means for You
- More reliable FTP/S3 ingestion
- Better visibility into what was processed
- Safer data updates
