FAQ
Q: Some of the metrics in my reports changed significantly after I enabled Pulse. Was the data wrong before?
A: Pulse represents a significant evolution of Klar's data structure from processing terabytes of data. We performed extensive testing before rolling it out to ensure accuracy, but with so many unique accounts, we couldn't dive deeply into every individual case.
If you feel the changes are too extreme to be explained by the improvements we've outlined above, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help and can work with you to understand the updates and ensure everything aligns with your expectations.
Q: Do I need to pay extra for Pulse?
A: No. Pulse is an internal upgrade affecting all of our infrastructure and is included both in our Core & Attribution plan.
Q: But I like the old one better! Can I keep it?
A: If you're encountering any problems or bugs after enabling Pulse, please reach out to our Customer Success team immediately. We try to iron out any initial problems with Pulse as soon as possible.
We plan to roll-out Pulse to all of our customers latest by January 2025, switching over completely from our previous architecture.
