Checking your sync logs

Once you have created and run your first sync in PowerImporter, you can check your logs to see how things went.

LOGS WHEN TESTING & REVIEWING

Testing and reviewing enables you to run the sync without calling the API - it means you can test it and see if it will work, without amending your Webflow site. Your log will show whether there were any issues, which would show in the "Invalid" column. The screenshot below shows a fully successful test.

- If you want more detail on each webflow collection item, you can click on "View details". - You can filter the logs to view errors only for example, or warnings only. - You can even search by Airtable record ID or Webflow item ID/item slug. This is particularly useful for syncs with dozens/hundreds of items.

If you want more detail on one collection field, you can click on view: this will show the exact data that has been transferred over to Webflow. You can even click on the Airtable record link to view the Airtable field in your Airtable base.

LOGS WHEN RUNNING THE SAME SYNC AGAIN ‍ Your next sync will show items in different categories:

• Keeps: Items existed already in Webflow and remained unchanged

• Updates: Existing items in Webflow were updated because one or several data fields changed

• Creates: New items created in Webflow

• Deletes: Deleted items in Webflow because not present in the data anymore

• Mapping errors: this is validation done by PI before calling the API

• API errors: Errors that came back after calling the API.

The categories will only show if there are relevant items in there. ‍ The screenshot below shows a new sync with 1 updated field, the 9 others remained unchanged.

The screenshot below shows an updated sync with 1 warning, and some API errors. Details are available so you can see which item has errored and what you can do about it.
