Amazon Advertising Connector: Entities report deprecation

Tasleema

Amazon has announced that the endpoints that power the Entities report in the Amazon Advertising connector will be shut off on Oct 15th 2024. As a result, customers who currently use the Entities report will need to switch to the Exports report instead before Oct 15th 2024.

The Exports report supports the same entities as the Entities report, i.e, the campaigns, adgroups, targets and ads, however the schema for each entity type might differ between the Exports and the Entities reports. Consequently, customers are advised to power up a new dataset using the Exports report first to determine whether they will be impacted or not by a schema change. If they are not impacted by a schema change, then customers should be able to simply update the report type in existing Entities datasets, and verify that downstream assets such as BeastModes, Charts and alerts, are not impacted. If there is a schema change, then customers will need to ensure that any downstream assets are updated to reflect the schema changes.

Domo will not delete any datasets that are still using the Entities report after Oct 15th 2024. However, these datasets will throw an error starting on Oct 15th 2024 due the planned retirement of the endpoints by Amazon.
