What changes are included in the CustomerSyncService?

[David Antunes]

Hi,

I get the feeling that the CustomerSyncService is reporting too many changes

Do changes for example in the FirstPageCPCBid, or TopOfThePageBid, etc of an Ad for example count as "changed" in the CustomerSyncService?

Many thanks!

Hello,

No, changes like that should not affect the CustomerSyncService. The main use case of service is intended to keep the data structure of the account in sync if there are multiple entities that access the account. For example, you can grab a list of changes since the last time you looked at the account and update your local representation of the account to match the new canonical representation on the server.

Statistics and read-only attributes that are not settable by any users should not trigger any change in the CustomerSyncService.
