Schema

Information note

Schemas and naming conventions can change from version to version. It is recommended to verify your version before continuing.

The schema and info displayed below is for version 1.

Depending on your destination, table and column names may not appear as they are outlined below.

activities

The activities table contains info about various activities in your Close account.

An activity belongs to a lead and can represent any type of activity that was performed on a lead or its contact. This includes calls, emails, notes, and so on.

Attribution window

When data is replicated for this table, it will use an attribution window of 24 hours to fetch updated activities.

This means that every time a replication job runs, the last 24 hours’ worth of data will be replicated for this table. This is because Close doesn’t provide a way to query for activites based on a modification time, only when activities are created. A list of available querying methods can be found in Close’s documentation.

Refer to the Replication section for more info and examples of how the attribution window is used to query for data.
