# Release Note 2026-07

The July 2026 release expands several connectors with new datasets and fields, ships an early version of the Dataddo MCP Server for connecting AI assistants to the platform, and resolves a batch of extraction and authorization issues across Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Square, and the core platform.

## Connectors

**New Datasets, Attributes, and Metrics:**

- **Apple Store Connect**: Added a new **Customer Reviews** dataset.  
- **Facebook Ads**: Added a new **Ad Image Hashes** dataset, resolving carousel child-attachment image hashes to their permalink URLs.  
- **Google Ads**: Added `Keyword Planner` historical metrics.  
- **Google My Business**: Added the `BUSINESS_FOOD_MENU_CLICKS` engagement metric.  
- **Mailchimp**: Added `mmerge1` and `mmerge2` custom merge fields to the **List Members** dataset.  
- **QuickBooks**:  
  - Added `SKU` to the **Item** dataset.  
  - Added `Country` to the **Customer** and **Vendor** datasets.  
  - Added a new **TaxCode** dataset.  
- **TikTok Ads**:  
  - Added new **Smart+ Creatives Metrics by Campaign**, **Smart+ Creatives Metrics by Ad Group**, and **Smart+ Creatives Metrics by Ad** datasets.  
  - Expanded the existing **Smart+ Creatives Daily Metrics** dataset with new dimensions and fields.  
  - `Reach` and `Frequency` can now also be pulled consolidated by `Campaign ID` for a date range, instead of only daily granularity.

**Connector Updates:**

- **JSON Connector**: Clarified that the `{{dateRange}}` placeholder must be used twice in a request body — once for the start date, once for the end date — to extract a full range; a single placeholder only resolves to one date.

## New Features

### Dataddo MCP Server

Connect your AI assistant directly to Dataddo through the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://docs.dataddo.com/docs/dataddo-mcp-server) — ask it to search the connector catalog, pull dataset details, or check setup documentation without leaving your assistant of choice. This first version of the server currently covers catalog search and documentation retrieval, with pipeline management, data querying, and monitoring on the roadmap. Available at `https://headless.dataddo.com/mcp`, no authentication required.

## Bug Fixes

### Connector Fixes

**Facebook Ads**:

- Fixed the **Insights** dataset returning only a hash field instead of resolved values.

**Facebook Graph**:

- Fixed **Instagram Online Followers – Hourly** dataset source creation failing because the date range kept reverting to "Yesterday." New sources for this metric should use the **Instagram Organic – Online Followers** dataset going forward.

**Google Analytics**:

- Fixed accounts that had been authorized twice with the same email, caused by a stale credential hash on the original authorizer.

**LinkedIn Ads**:

- Fixed the **Ads** dataset failing with a validator error (`must specify at least one item in metrics`) across all accounts.

**Square**:

- Fixed **Payments** datasets ignoring the configured source date range and extracting far more history than requested. This was caused by an incorrect date format being sent to the Square API, plus the extraction window itself needing to be restricted.

### General Fixes

**"Add New Account" button**:

- Fixed the button not working. It was broken because several dashboarding destination templates (Dataiku, Klipfolio, Looker Studio, Power BI, HTTP, Tableau, Zoho Analytics) were missing the authorizer config needed for the redirect flow.

**Authorizer creation errors**:

- Fixed the original error being hidden behind a generic message.

**Authorizer editing**:

- Fixed editing an authorizer not updating its identifier.

**Database source creation**:

- Fixed a JavaScript error that blocked creating database sources.

**Extraction errors**:

- Fixed `EXTRACTOR_BAD_REQUEST` errors affecting most datasets. This was caused by a regression where timestamps stopped being accepted in grids.

**Source creation errors**:

- Fixed errors not being surfaced to the user when source creation failed.
