Monitor the Payloads home tab
Use the Home tab when you need a fast view of Payloads health across the org.
Home is not where you configure the integration details. It is where you see whether Payloads is running cleanly, whether Jobs are failing, whether runtime is changing, and whether cleanup, batch, or subscription items need attention.
Think of Home as the operational starting point. It will not tell you every detail of a failed run, but it should help you decide where to look first.
Home brings recent Job activity, runtime metrics, cleanup status, and subscription state into one operational view.
Summary cards
The summary cards show the current state of the org.
Daily API Requests shows Salesforce API request usage for the day. Jobs Last 24h shows recent Job volume, completed Jobs, and failed Jobs. Duration shows average runtime and p95 runtime. Cleanup Service shows whether the Job cleanup service is running and when it should run next. Subscription shows the current plan state and whether any billing action is required.
These cards are intentionally high level. Use them to spot whether something needs attention, then open the relevant tab or Job for the detailed evidence.
Job activity
Use Job Activity Last 30d to see whether volume or failures have changed recently.
A single failed Job may be a data issue. A sudden spike in failures usually means something changed: the external system, Credential, Endpoint, mapping, Salesforce data, or a permission path.
Open the Jobs tab or the relevant Integration when you need to inspect specific runs. Home is the signal; the Job record is where you confirm the cause.
For Job details, see Understand Job records.
Runtime trends
Use the duration panels to spot slow Payloads.
Slow runtime can be caused by a slow external API, large query results, complex mappings, many Data Target records, or Salesforce limits pressure.
If a Payload is getting slower, open recent Jobs and compare callout duration, query duration, DML duration, CPU time, heap, query count, and DML row count. That comparison usually tells you whether the bottleneck is outside Salesforce, inside the query and mapping work, or in target record writes.
Integration health
The integration health table groups activity by Integration.
Use it to find which Integration has recent activity, high failure rates, or slower average duration.
This is often the fastest route from "Payloads has a problem" to the specific Integration that needs review. Once you know the Integration, open its Jobs and Payloads rather than searching across the whole app.
Needs Attention
Needs Attention highlights operational items that should be reviewed.
Examples include recent failures, cleanup not running, subscription issues, high API usage, or slower Payloads.
Treat attention items as a triage list. They tell you where to look first, not necessarily what the final fix is. Clear the underlying issue, then refresh Home to confirm the operational state has changed.
Cleanup status
The cleanup status shows whether the cleanup scheduler is running.
Payloads can delete old Jobs based on each Payload's retention settings. When cleanup is stopped, old Jobs can build up and storage usage can grow. If Home shows cleanup attention items, review both the service status and the individual Payload retention settings.
For setup steps, see Configure Job retention and cleanup.
What to check
When reviewing Home, check:
failed Jobs in the last 24 hours
integrations with a high failure rate
Payloads with unusually slow average duration
cleanup service state
subscription state and usage
API usage when the org is close to its daily limit
If Home shows an issue, open the relevant Job before changing configuration.
