Release 1.12 include a new feature called Integration Reports (available under Tools->Integration Reports) which is a tool that allows you to validate your live data to ensure your app is instrumented correctly. We have also added in feed channels to the Viral Optimizer as well as some fixes to the viral optimizer.

• Integration Reports – The test server was designed to allow you to test your your instrumentation in real-time, but it was not meant to validate large amounts of live data. We noticed that some developers were sending their live traffic to the test server to validate it, but the test server was designed to only hold up to 1,000 messages at a time. The Integration Reports addresses this need by allowing you to run a report that checks the last full hour’s worth of live data that was sent to our production servers. This enables you to see what we’re seeing as we’re processing the data. It’s highly recommended that you run the integration reports on your data to ensure that the data we are processing is as accurate as possible. The report can take a few minutes to run, so if you are sending us a lot of data, you may want to grab a coffee and come back to get the results.

• Feeds for the Viral Optimizer – If you now create a viral event using the Viral Optimizer, you will see a new option for feeds/streams/etc. in the event creation process. The metrics for the feed differ slightly from the direct messaging channels like invites and notifications in that the call to action and the messages are grouped together and must be tested together.

• Viral Optimizer Bug Fix – For some applications, you may have noticed that the 1 hour and 3 hour conversion rates for the message metrics in the Viral Optimizer management page were inaccurate. This has now been fixed, the 1 hour and 3 hour conversion buckets now display the correct values.

Happy Thanksgiving!
