Data in Clever can experience a number of edge cases listed below. Although these are not typical cases, it's a good idea to be prepared for these to occur. If your integration cannot handle any of these cases, please reach out to [[email protected]](🔗) to reflect this in our documentation so that our support team can better support our shared customers.
