“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.”
The Salesforce Data Connector is slow with large datasets because it uses inefficient sequential API calls without batch processing optimization or Salesforce’s Bulk API capabilities.
Here’s how to import large datasets in minutes instead of hours with enterprise-grade performance optimization.
Import large Salesforce datasets quickly using Coefficient
Coefficient dramatically improves performance through Bulk API support, parallel batch execution, and intelligent query optimization. What takes the native connector 25+ minutes, Coefficient completes in 3-5 minutes with reliable completion.
How to make it work
Step 1. Enable Bulk API in Coefficient settings.
Access the advanced settings and enable Bulk API support for high-volume data transfers. This switches from sequential REST API calls to optimized batch processing designed for large datasets.
Step 2. Configure appropriate batch sizes for your data complexity.
Set batch sizes between 1000 (default) and 10,000 records based on your record complexity. Simple records with few fields can use larger batches, while complex records with many relationships work better with smaller batches.
Step 3. Use filters to import only necessary data.
Apply date filters liketo focus on recent changes, or use field-specific filters to reduce dataset size while maintaining the data you need for analysis.
Step 4. Schedule imports during off-peak hours for maximum performance.
Set up automated imports during low-traffic periods when both Salesforce and Google Sheets have optimal performance. This ensures consistent import speeds even for very large datasets.
Step 5. Use “Append New Data” for incremental updates of large datasets.
Instead of re-importing entire datasets, use append functionality to add only new records. This maintains historical data while dramatically reducing import times for ongoing data management.
Stop waiting hours for data imports
Slow data imports delay decision-making and create bottlenecks in your workflow. Coefficient’s performance optimizations handle datasets of any size with enterprise-grade speed and reliability. Start importing large datasets quickly today.
