Caps and Limits

LeadConduit supports two controls that set constraints on lead submissions and pings.

Cap

A cap allows limiting the number of leads sent to a flow. If a lead is successful, it will be counted against the maximum configured leads. If configured, the rule set will be evaluated to determine whether a lead will be counted against the cap.

Cap

A cap allows limiting the number of leads sent into or out of a flow. If a lead is successful, it will be counted against the maximum configured leads. If configured, the rule set will be evaluated to determine whether a lead will be counted against the cap.

id
string (ID) ^[0-9a-fA-F]{24}$

ID of this cap

type
string

Enum: "month" "week" "day" "hour" "minute"
object (rule-set)

Cap Counter

A cap counter keeps track of the number of leads counted against the cap. The counter has the same ID as the cap configuration saved with the flow. Most of the properties of the cap configuration are available on the cap counter, as a convenience.

Array of objects (Cap)

Nested caps evaluated if rules for the parent cap pass

duration
required
number >= 1

The number duration_units for which the cap persists

duration_units
required
string

The unit of time for which the cap persists

Enum: "month" "week" "day" "hour" "minute"
expires_at
string <date-time>

Read-only time the cap interval ends

Ping Limit

The ping limit configuration is defined in a flow on a source, or directly on the flow itself. The configuration controls the behavior of the ping limit by setting the maximum and the duration. The counter for a ping limit is kept as a standalone record which shares ping limit's ID.

id
string (ID) ^[0-9a-fA-F]{24}$

24 character alpha-numeric BSON identifier

name
string

The human-readable name of the ping limit

maximum
integer

The number of pings that will be accepted

duration
integer

The number duration_units the ping limit persists for

duration_units
string

The unit of time the ping limit persists for: minute, hour, day, week, or month

time_zone
string

The time zone in which ping limit resets

created_at
string <date-time> (Timestamp)

Read-only time the ping limit was created

{
  • "id": "5fd4371e940df5a34a3888b2",
  • "name": "string",
  • "maximum": 0,
  • "duration": 0,
  • "duration_units": "string",
  • "time_zone": "America/New_York",
  • "created_at": "2019-08-24T14:15:22Z"
}

Ping Limit Counter

A ping limit counter keeps track of the number of pings counted against the ping limit. The counter has the same ID as the ping limit configuration saved with the flow. Most of the properties of the ping limit configuration are available on the ping limit counter, as a convenience.

string

string (ID) ^[0-9a-fA-F]{24}$

24 character alpha-numeric BSON identifier

source_id
string (ID) ^[0-9a-fA-F]{24}$

The entity of the flow source if the limit is set on a source

maximum
integer

The number of pings that will be accepted

duration
integer

The number duration_units the ping limit persists for

duration_units
string

The unit of time the ping limit persists for: minute, hour, day, week, or month

time_zone
string

The time zone in which ping limit resets

started_at
string <date-time> (Timestamp)
