Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out to share a feature idea that would significantly improve the reliability of data pipelines. After discussing this with the Supermetrics support team, they suggested I post it here to gauge community interest and visibility.
The Problem: Currently, when a data transfer is scheduled between a platform (like Meta Ads) and a Data Warehouse (BigQuery, Snowflake, etc.), the process can fail because of the following :
-
Meta Business Manager (BM) access is revoked or restricted.
-
Individual client account access is lost (common in Agency models).
The Proposal: Data Transfer Guardrails
I would love to see Supermetrics implement native guardrails within the transfer settings that could:
-
Proactive Connectivity Checks: Automatically verify if the underlying token still has access to all selected accounts before the transfer begins.
-
Specific Error Masking: Differentiate between a "successful transfer with 0 rows" and a "failed transfer due to Permission/Auth errors."
-
Custom Notifications: Allow us to set up specific alerts (email/Slack) triggered specifically by "Access Revoked" errors, separate from general system errors.
Why this matters: For those of us managing dozens of client accounts, catching a "BM restricted" error 5 minutes after it happens—rather than 5 days later during a client presentation—is a game changer for data integrity.
Has anyone else faced similar issues with Meta Ads or other connectors? If you think these guardrails would save you time and headaches, please upvote or share your thoughts below!
