Twitter Ads-Specific Features and Limitations

  • In the Data Integration product, Twitter Ads 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 Twitter Ads in your package.

  • Skyvia supports data modification in such objects as Accounts, FundingInstruments (UPDATE); AccountMedia (DELETE); MediaCreatives, PromotedAccounts, PromotedTweets, PollCards (INSERT, DELETE); Campaigns, AdGroups, ScheduledPromotedTweets, ImageAppDownloadCards, ImageConversationCards, ScheduledTweets, VideoAppDownloadCards, VideoWebsiteCards, WebsiteCards, PrerollCallToActions, PublishedTweets , ImageDirectMessageCards, VideoDirectMessageCards, MediaLibrary, DraftTweets, TailoredAudiences, TailoredAudiencePermissions (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE).

  • Skyvia supports Replication with Incremental Updates for objects, which have UpdatedDate and CreatedDate fields, and for objects with Report and View in their names, which have Date field. This field stores dates without time part. Thus, when performing replication with incremental updates, Skyvia only queries updates up to previous day, not today’s updates. It also means that there is no point to schedule replication with incremental updates more often than once per day.

    Thus, only such objects as Accounts, Campaigns, FundingInstruments, AdGroups, PromotedAccounts, PromotedTweets, PromotableUsers, ScheduledPromotedTweets, AccountMedia, ImageAppDownloadCards, ImageConversationCards, VideoConversationCards, Cards, ScheduledTweets, VideoAppDownloadCards, VideoWebsiteCards, WebsiteCards, PrerollCallToActions, ImageDirectMessageCards, VideoDirectMessageCards, MediaLibrary, PollCards, DraftTweets, TailoredAudiences, TailoredAudiencePermissions, AccountsDailyReport, CampaignsDailyReport, FundingInstrumentsDailyReport, AdGroupsDailyReport, PromotedAccountsDailyReport, PromotedTweetsDailyReport, MediaCreativesDailyReport can be replicated with incremental updates.

  • Skyvia Backup does not support Twitter Ads.
