Understanding data capture

Updated over 6 months ago

The Data sources page allows you to see the status of your connected data sources and the last time they were synced to Worklabs. This is also where you can configure your data purging settings.

Data Capture Approach

How Worklabs ingests data from a source system will depend on its integration capabilities. The table below provides an overview of Worklabs' data capture approach to each data source (system) we connect/integrate with.

There are two primary capture mechanisms:

  1. Streaming / real-time event data capture

  2. Batch data capture at a set interval (e.g., hourly)

Source Systems and Data Types

Workplace from Meta

Streaming / real-time data capture

  • Worklabs captures create/edit/delete actions, including the content, in real time via Webhooks for the following data types:

    • Posts

    • Comments

    • Chat messages

    • Knowledge Library articles.

Any raw data captured by Worklabs that triggers a compliance alert will automatically be available for viewing in the Worklabs. If the raw data does not trigger a compliance alert, it will be processed within one hour (i.e., available in Worklabs within one hour of the action taking place on Workplace).

  • Data types are captured from the following channels:

    • Groups

      • Open, Closed, Secret and Multi-company groups

    • User timelines

    • Threads

      • 1:1 and group chat message threads

Batch capture

  • Post views and reactions generated by users are unavailable via Webhooks and, therefore, must be routinely fetched via Graph API.

  • Worklabs will fetch and process Post view and reaction raw data every hour (i.e., it will be available in the Worklabs within one hour of the action taking place on Workplace).
