Albato has two timing modes: "real-time" and "data migration".
In real-time
In the Real-time mode, data will be transferred from the start of automation until the moment when a user stops it. In this mode, only new data that appears in a user's sending app will be transferred.
Data migration
In the Data migration mode, users can transfer data for a particular period in the past.
After the data is transferred, automation will stop automatically. Thus, only data that was saved in the source app before the automation was started will be transferred.
This is a great feature to find out how effective your ad campaign was in the past month or the same month last year. This feature also proves to be useful for those who want to migrate data from one system to another, as it helps to preserve data when changing platforms (apps).
It should be noted that the Data migration mode only works with API triggers.
There are 2 options in this mode:
Migrate all account data - Albato will automatically find and transfer all data from the current app to a new one. Important: not all streaming apps support this mode (Facebook, for example, only delivers data for the last 90 days).
Migrate data for a period - a user specifies the date and time from which Albato will transfer the data. The 'Operation time', 'From' and 'To' fields indicate the time and date from which you want to transfer the data. These fields cannot contain values in the future (eg tomorrow), only in the past.
Once completed, the automations in which data migration is configured are marked with a special icon. There is a progress bar, which takes into account the amount of data processed.
To make changes to the settings, you need to click on the 'Reset Progress' button. When you press this button, the progress of your package is reset and the next launch will start a data relay, where the same data can be transferred again.
