Some database extractor timeout errors have occurred in a few projects due to yesterday's switch to static IPs.
We have temporarily reverted back from from new Fixed IPs as we attempt to resolve these issues.
We will post an update when the fixed IPs return and the timeout issues resolved.
We're updating datatype handling in the Transformations UI and backend. The update features datatype validation and new datatype configuration format.
In rare cases errors may occur. If it happens in your project, please get in touch with us at support@keboola.com.
Thanks for your understanding.
It is our pleasure to announce that as of today, all our outgoing network connections in the US region are using a pool of four static IP addresses.
This can help you meet your company security standards. To find out more, please visit the IP Addresses page in our documentation.
Be aware that IP addresses can change in the future. For your convenience, you can programatically fetch and parse the list of existing IP addresses in JSON format at https://help.keboola.com/extractors/ip-addresses/kbc-public-ip.json.
PLEASE NOTE:
Some of you were employing a very old concept where we performed an on-demand network source routing which allowed us to force the source IP under syrup-out.keboola.com. This was deprecated almost a year ago. Today, we are also announcing that old source routing is deprecated and will be turned off at the end of this month. If you rely on source IP, please move all your existing firewall rules to our new addresses before June 30, 2017.
Since Jun 02 21:56:15 CEST we're experiencing a high rate of Google Analytics Extractor application failures. They are most probably related to an exceeded account quota.
We're investigating this issue and will update this post with the outcome.
Our third-party partner Radek Tomášek published the new version of Dropbox extractor which uses Dropbox API v2. Old extractor uses API v1 which will be deprecated soon so you are recommended to migrate to the new extractor soon. See http://status.keboola.com/dropbox-extractor-v2
An extractor to Pipedrive: Sales CRM & Pipeline Management Software was published to all users.
Detail of transformation job was slightly improved for better intelligibility.
We fixed email validation of invitation form which prevented you from inviting users with emails with e.g. geographic top-level domains like '.london'.

Martin Humpolec, a Salesforce specialist, developed and published a Salesforce Analytics Cloud writer.
A release yesterday has broken some synchronous actions for some Keboola Connection components.
No jobs are affected by this, the components run as before, but creating and updating components may be affected.
We are currently working on a patch and will update here with more information.
Thank you for your patience.
Update: 2017-05-17 11:38
All synchronous actions should now be working as expected.
It is my tremendously big pleasure to announce an important update - Dropbox Extractor component was updated in Keboola Connection (KBC) and this new version is officially released and available for everybody.
It's been quite a while since the original version was developed. So happened, it was one of my first components written in Node.js and also my first-ever KBC component where I didn't use a generic UI, but developed a custom one (I also used React for the first time). I loved that, but (on the other hand) I was also aware the first version was anything, but perfect.
The new version is here and the main reason for this update is the end of the support of the Dropbox API v1 (used in the original extractor). It became deprecated and (by the end of the June 2017) this old API stops working completely.
Good news is that this new version of the Dropbox extractor brings a lot of important and valuable improvements. The main change is usage of the official Dropbox Chooser component. You can easily authorize and select csv files from your Dropbox. The Chooser component generates a link (you can paste already existing one) and all these links are encrypted in the KBC configuration, so the whole process is very fast (even with large files), convenient and secure.
Migration note: There are breaking changes between the previous (v1) and new (v2) versions and if you use the original Dropbox Extractor (v1) and want to keep using Dropbox extractor in KBC in the future (after June 28, 2017), you have to create a new configuration in this updated version (v2) and select all your required files again. Unfortunately, no automated migration tool between v1 and v2 is available as the architecture is completely different.
I would love to say big thanks to Keboola, Tomáš Kačur in particular. He provided very helpful feedback as well as helped me to fine-tune the UI part.
This extractor is developed independently by Radek Tomášek. For more information on how to use this extractor, please refer to the documentation. In case you run into some issues or you have more questions about the usage of the component (e.g. migration between the old and new version), please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
