Iterable

Iterable is a cross-channel marketing platform that powers unified customer experiences and empowers you to create, optimize and measure every interaction across the entire customer journey.

Data integration: Skyvia supports importing data to and from Iterable, exporting Iterable data to CSV files, replicating Iterable data to relational databases and synchronizing Iterable data with other cloud apps and relational databases.

Backup: Skyvia Backup does not support Iterable.

Query: Skyvia Query supports Iterable.

Additional Connection Parameters

Suppress Extended Requests

Iterable API returns only part of the fields for some objects when querying multiple records. To query the values of lacking fields, Skyvia performs additional extended requests for each record of such an object. However, this can decrease performance and significantly increase the number of API calls. The list of additional fields is the following:

Object Field
Templates CreatorUserId, MessageTypeId, Metadata, FromName, FromEmail, ReplyToEmail, Subject, PreheaderText, CcEmails, BccEmails, HTML, PlainText, DataFeedIds, CacheDataFeed, MergeDataFeedContext

To reduce the number of API calls, select the Suppress Extended Requests checkbox. However, please note that the fields, listed above will not be available in Skyvia (will return empty values) even if they have values in Iterable because its API does not return them without extended requests.
