Appflow - Date Range(s)

Question

I'm fairly new to AWS and we had a vendor partially develop a solution for us for marketing APIs. Some were available from appflow others were partially custom developed. I am in the need to pull in historical data as it is available from the platforms that using Appflow but I am not yet familiar enough to know where or how to plug in a date range to do this. Any help would be appreciated. The appflow I am trying this with does pull in data but only one day at a time it seems.

Thanks!!

Answer

I understand your want to understand what data range you would need to keep in order to pull historical data available from the platforms that using Appflow. As you might be aware that Amazon AppFlow runs schedule-triggered flows based on the schedule that you specify during flow setup.

You can choose either full or incremental data transfer for schedule-triggered flows.

When you select incremental transfer, Amazon AppFlow transfers only the records that have been added or changed since the last successful flow run. You can also select a source timestamp field to specify how Amazon AppFlow identifies new or changed records. For example, if you have a Created Date timestamp field, choose this to instruct Amazon AppFlow to transfer only newly-created records (and not changed records) since the last successful flow run or historical records. The first schedule-triggered flow will pull 30 days of past records at the time of the first flow run.

However to set specific data ranges or scheduling frequency depends upon the source application that you are using. Thus if you require further assistance from us to set specific date ranges.
