Data Delivery
The time it takes for data to appear in your destination system depends on multiple factors, including latency introduced by the original source, network conditions, and intermediary systems. While these factors may vary, Gundi typically checks for available data on a scheduled interval of approximately 10 minutes.
If your data is not available in your destination after this interval, kindly refer to the source to review the availability of data, and contact our Support team for further assistance.
