Fix Salesforce connector manual refresh error undefined length property Google Sheets

You’re staring at that cryptic error message again: “Cannot read property ‘length’ of undefined”

Your Salesforce data refresh just failed. No explanation. No diagnostic info. Just another morning ruined by Google’s native Salesforce connector.

Here’s the truth: These errors aren’t random glitches. They’re symptoms of fundamental flaws in Google’s Salesforce connector that make failures inevitable.

Why Google’s Salesforce Connector Keeps Failing You

Hidden Row Limits That Kill Your Reports

Google’s connector has a sneaky 10,000 row limit you can’t override, even with custom SOQL queries. One frustrated user put it perfectly: “I hate one thing: the addon applies a hidden 10,000 row limit that you can’t bypass… this really bothers me.”

When your sales team grows or you need historical data? Too bad. You’re stuck.

Silent Failures That Cost You Hours

When things break (and they will), you get no error notifications. The system fails silently, leaving you to discover problems hours or days later—usually when your boss asks for that critical report.

Authentication Nightmares

Constant timeout issues and IP restriction problems require complex workarounds. Users regularly report being locked out with no clear solution. Every manual refresh becomes a prayer that your authentication still works.

Inflexible Scheduling

You’re stuck with 4, 8, 12, or 24-hour refresh intervals. That’s it. No flexibility for real business needs. Need data every 30 minutes for that board meeting? Not happening.

The Hidden Cost of Sticking with Google’s Native Connector

Every failed refresh costs you:

• 30 minutes troubleshooting mysterious errors
• 2 hours rebuilding corrupted data imports
• Countless hours explaining to stakeholders why reports are delayed

One RevOps manager calculated they were losing 15 hours per month to connector issues. That’s almost two full workdays spent fighting with a tool that should just work.
