“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Salesforce API permission issues cause undefined length errors when your connector lacks proper field-level security access or object permissions, returning empty responses instead of expected data.
Troubleshooting these permission layers manually is time-consuming and error-prone. Here’s how to prevent these errors with intelligent permission handling.
Prevent permission errors using Coefficient
Coefficient eliminates undefined length errors through automatic permission auditing and permission-aware field selection. You get clear feedback about access restrictions instead of cryptic error messages.
How to make it work
Step 1. Connect with automatic permission validation.
Install Coefficient in Google Sheets and connect to Salesforce. The system automatically validates user permissions across object, field, and record levels before executing any imports.
Step 2. Use permission-aware field selection.
When building imports from objects and fields, Coefficient only displays fields you can access. This prevents attempts to query restricted data that would return undefined results.
Step 3. Import from existing reports with inherited security.
Choose existing Salesforce reports to maintain the report’s original security context. This ensures data access aligns with Salesforce permissions without additional API permission complexities.
Step 4. Get clear permission feedback.
Instead of undefined length errors, Coefficient provides specific messages identifying which fields or records are inaccessible. You can quickly resolve permission gaps or adjust your import accordingly.
Skip the permission troubleshooting
Coefficient’s proactive permission handling prevents undefined length errors before they happen, saving you from manual permission debugging. Start building reliable Salesforce imports today.
