Salesforce data import failures after successful header sync happen because of authentication timeouts, API rate limiting, or permission changes between the metadata and data retrieval phases.

Your connector gets field definitions but fails when fetching actual records, leaving you with incomplete imports. Here’s how to prevent these partial failures.

Prevent post-header failures using Coefficient

Coefficient prevents these scenarios through unified data retrieval that gets headers and data together, eliminating the failure window between separate operations. You get complete imports or clear error messages.

How to make it work

Step 1. Connect with integrated query architecture.

Install Coefficient in Google Sheets and connect to Salesforce. Unlike connectors that separate metadata and data operations, Coefficient performs integrated queries that retrieve everything together.

Step 2. Benefit from automatic session management.

Coefficient handles token refresh and MFA automatically, ensuring authentication stays valid throughout the entire import process. No more mid-operation authentication failures.

Step 3. Import with API limit intelligence.

The system monitors Salesforce API usage and automatically adjusts batch sizes and timing to stay within limits. This prevents rate limiting that causes data retrieval failures after header success.

Step 4. Get comprehensive error recovery.

If any part of the import encounters issues, Coefficient provides detailed error information and retry mechanisms rather than leaving you with incomplete header-only imports.

Get complete imports every time

Coefficient’s integrated approach ensures complete data imports rather than the partial failures common with multi-phase connector architectures. Start importing complete Salesforce data sets today.
