👋 Hello

Welcome to the April edition of the Weld Recap — your monthly snapshot of the latest product updates, connector improvements, and new features.

Here’s what’s new 👇

🔌 Connector updates

📸 Instagram Business

Meta has rolled out major changes to the Instagram Business API. We’ve updated our connector accordingly:

• Deprecated metrics: plays, clips_replays_count, ig_reels_aggregated_all_plays_count, impressions
• New metrics: views (added across media types), feed_shares, and feed_total_interactions
• Schema changes include new fields like reel_views and carousel_album_views

🛒 Shopify

We’ve improved how Weld handles Shopify product data for better scalability and usability:

• product_variant and product_image are now top-level tables (not nested under product)
• New stream: company, helping B2B merchants gain better visibility
• Streams like order_agreement and customer_metafield now sync in more efficient chunks
