How to Fix a Broken Source

When a source is in the broken state, the system no longer attempts to take data snapshots from the service. To recover the source from this state please try the following steps:

1. In your Dataddo account, navigate to the Sources tab and click on the Restart Source button next to your broken source.
   

2. If you see Test Successful, proceed to the next step. If the Broken Source error message, most often, you will need to reauthorize your account, if the problem still persists, please check Extraction Logs for the error message explanation.

3. Click on the Manual Data Load icon to force a data load.
   

   DATADDO TIP

   We recommend loading yesterday's data. Choose the snapshot-keeping policy aligned with your source and destination configuration.

4. Once set up, write CONFIRM and click on Load data.
   

Why is My Source Broken?

There are many reasons behind a broken source. Here are the most common ones:

No Data

If you are trying to connect or synchonize data from your source and know that you won't have any data (e.g. you synchronize your Google Ads data daily, however, on some days you don't have any ads), your source will break.

1. Go to Sources and click on the three dots next to the broken source.
2. Select Edit.
3. Under Basic Info, at the bottom check the box Allow Empty and Save.
   

Need to Re-Authorize Service

The connection to your source will break if your login authorization is expired. In this case, please re-authorize the service.

API Issues

In some cases, the service's API may experience issues. In such situations, we kindly ask for your patience while the service works to resolve the problem. Rest assured that if the matter requires additional attention, we will keep you informed and provide you with more detailed instructions to address the issue.

Inssuficient Role Permissions

In most cases, the account you link to Dataddo will need at least Administrator permissions. If your account doesn't have the required permissions, Dataddo will be unable to establish connection.
