Harvest-Specific Features and Limitations

Skyvia has the following limitations for Harvest:

  • In the Data Integration product, Harvest connections are supported only for packages, which use a new data integration runtime.

    Make sure that the Use new runtime checkbox is selected on the tab bar if you want to use Harvest in your package.

  • Harvest objects that support import operations: UserBillableRates, UserCostRates (INSERT); InvoiceMessages, InvoicePayments, EstimateMessages (INSERT, DELETE); Clients, Contacts, EstimateItemCategories, Estimates, ExpensesCategories, Expenses, InvoiceItemCategories, Invoices, Projects, ProjectTaskAssigment, ProjectUserAssigment, Roles, Tasks, TimeEntries, Users (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE).
  • Skyvia supports Replication with Incremental Updates selected for Harvest objects, which have either UpdatedDate field or CreatedDate field. Thus, such objects as Clients, Contacts, EstimateItemCategories, EstimateMessages, Estimates, ExpensesCategories, Expenses, InvoiceItemCategories, InvoiceMessages, InvoicePayments, Invoices, Projects, ProjectTaskAssigment, ProjectUserAssigment, Roles, Tasks, TimeEntries, UserBillableRates, UserCostRates, Users can be relicated with incremental updates.

However, please note if the object has only CreatedDate field, Skyvia will sync only new records. If the object has only UpdatedDate field, Skyvia will sync both new and updated records. Thus, such objects as Clients, Contacts, EstimateItemCategories, Estimates, ExpensesCategories, Expenses, Invoices, InvoiceItemCategories, Projects, ProjectTaskAssigment, ProjectUserAssigment, Roles, Tasks, TimeEntries, Users can be fully synchronized within Skyvia (synchronization of new and updated records).
