The records are readable so you can see where a refresh has got to. StoreConnect manages them: you do not create, edit, or delete them in normal use. Completed and failed tasks are deleted automatically seven days after they finish. | Property | Value | |----------|-------| | **API Name** | `s_c__Async_Task__c` | | **Label** | Async Task | | **Plural Label** | Async Tasks | | **Type** | Custom Object | ## Fields | Field Label | API Name | Type | Required | Description | |-------------|----------|------|----------|-------------| | Error Message | `s_c__Error_Message__c` | LongTextArea(131072) | No | Why the task failed. | | Job Type | `s_c__Job_Type__c` | Picklist | No | Which processor handles this task. | | Key | `s_c__Key__c` | Text(255) | No | Identifies what the task is for within its job type, which is the object name for a refresh. A repeat request for the same object merges into the task already waiting for it. Once that task has started, a new request gets a task of its own. | | Metadata | `s_c__Metadata__c` | LongTextArea(131072) | No | Task progress, stored as JSON and rewritten as the task runs. To restart a stuck task from the beginning, clear this field and set **Status** back to `New`. | | Payload | `s_c__Payload__c` | LongTextArea(131072) | No | What your store asked for, stored as JSON. Do not edit it. | | Priority | `s_c__Priority__c` | Number(18,0) | No | Processing order within a job type. Lower numbers run first, and tasks sharing a number run together as a group. | | Retry Count | `s_c__Retry_Count__c` | Number(18,0) | No | How many consecutive passes have made no progress on this task. It resets as soon as the task moves. | | Status | `s_c__Status__c` | Picklist | No | Where the task is up to. `New` is waiting, `Processing` has a job running on it, and `Completed` and `Failed` are final. | --- ## Follow StoreConnect - [Email Newsletter](https://storeconnect.com/c/lp-newsletter) - [LinkedIn Newsletter](https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7444956928444862464) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngKdP2x8l1wcbAKW3tvU8g) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/storeconnect) - [X / Twitter](https://x.com/storeconnecthq) ## Popular Links - [Partners](https://storeconnect.com/partners) - [Become a Partner](https://storeconnect.com/become-a-partner) - [News](https://storeconnect.com/articles/news) - [Events](https://storeconnect.com/articles/events) - [Live Events](https://storeconnect.com/live-events) - [Feature Comparison](https://storeconnect.com/how-we-compare) - [Download a free trial](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMkeKUAT) - [Book a Demo](https://storeconnect.com/contact) ## Documentation - [Help documentation](https://support.storeconnect.com/help-documentation) - [AI agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/ai) - [Videos & tutorials](https://support.storeconnect.com/videos-tutorials) - [Developer reference](https://support.storeconnect.com/developer-reference) - [Release notes](https://support.storeconnect.com/release-notes) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.storeconnect.com/troubleshooting) - [Trust Center](https://trust.getstoreconnect.com/) - [Status Page](https://status.storeconnect.com/) ## Contact - info@getstoreconnect.com - US +1 415 745 3230 - AUS +61 2 8365 2308 100 S Ashley Dr, Suite 600-2461 Tampa FL 33602-600 USA Level 22, Sydney Place 180 George Street Sydney, NSW, 2000, AUS ## Machine-readable - [Site index for agents](https://storeconnect.com/llms.txt): curated map of the StoreConnect site in llms.txt format - [Documentation index for agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/llms.txt): full technical and product documentation map Every page and article on this site has a Markdown rendering: append `.md` to its URL.
