Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for improving communication between a multi-user data service (such as Smartsheet) and a third-party data source (such as Salesforce). The multi-user data service requests object updates from the third-party data source via an application programming interface (API). A superconnector uses superuser credentials to check for updates to a given object via the API. If updates are found, then a plurality of user connectors use user credentials to retrieve the updates via the API. If no updates are found, then user connector queries are avoided. The avoidance of the user connector queries conserves bandwidth and processor time, and also reduces the likelihood of violating an API rate limit.
