Overnight refresh scheduling using Coefficient
Coefficientprovides timezone-based scheduling that’s perfectly suited for overnight Salesforce data refresh, ensuring stakeholders start each day with updated information while optimizing system performance during off-peak hours.
How to make it work
Step 1. Configure daily scheduling with optimal timing.
Set automated refresh to occur daily during off-peak hours, typically between 2-5 AM to avoid business hours and peak API usage. Scheduling respects your timezone settings and uses the “Refresh All” feature to update multiple Salesforce imports simultaneously for coordinated morning reporting.
Step 2. Optimize overnight refresh for system efficiency.
Schedule refreshes during low-traffic periods to reduce system load and avoid competing with business hour Salesforce usage. Stagger timing for multiple reports to avoid simultaneous API calls, and monitor Salesforce API consumption to optimize refresh scheduling across your organization.
Step 3. Enable monitoring and error handling for reliable overnight updates.
Configure email notifications to confirm successful overnight data updates, with built-in retry logic ensuring failed refreshes are attempted multiple times. Large datasets refresh more efficiently during low-traffic periods, and historical tracking through Snapshot features can capture daily data states for trend analysis.
Step 4. Set up morning reporting workflow enhancement.
Overnight refresh ensures Google Sheets dashboards display current data when stakeholders arrive. Combine with Google Sheets sharing to provide immediate access to refreshed reports, and configure alerts when significant changes occur in overnight data to highlight important developments.
