“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’s removal of the native API consumption report actually presents an opportunity to implement more robust monitoring than the original report ever provided.
You can create custom daily API consumption tracking with granular monitoring, automated alerts, and trend analysis that identifies peak consumption periods and prevents API limit exhaustion.
Create enhanced daily tracking using Coefficient
CoefficientSalesforceexcels at creating custom daily API consumption tracking that surpasses the removedreport’s capabilities. The native report only showed aggregate daily totals without hourly breakdown, had no alerting capabilities, and was limited to 7-day retention.
SalesforceWithdata through Coefficient, you can import API limit data every 1-2 hours throughout the day, create automated daily snapshots, and set up threshold alerting when usage reaches critical levels.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up granular monitoring.
Connect to Salesforce’s /services/data/v58.0/limits/ REST endpoint and configure imports every 1-2 hours throughout the day. This identifies peak consumption periods that the original report never revealed.
Step 2. Create automated daily snapshots.
Use the “Append New Data” feature to build cumulative daily consumption logs that preserve consumption history indefinitely. This eliminates the 7-day retention limitation of the removed report.
Step 3. Build threshold alerting.
Set up email and Slack alerts when daily usage reaches 70%, 85%, and 95% of limits. Create formula-based calculations to track percentage of daily limits used and compare current consumption to historical averages.
Step 4. Implement trend analysis.
Compare current day usage to historical averages for anomaly detection. Use conditional formatting to highlight consumption approaching limits and create predictive projections.
Step 5. Export back to Salesforce.
Schedule exports back to a custom Salesforce object for integration with other monitoring systems. This creates a comprehensive API monitoring ecosystem.
