Why doesn't my Northbeam export match the dashboard?
The Northbeam help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: An export and the dashboard only agree when both use the same settings and the same moment's data, so a difference in either can change the numbers.
Is it broken, or just quiet?
A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the Northbeam help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.
What causes it?
An export and the dashboard only agree when both use the same settings and the same moment's data, so a difference in either can change the numbers.
In the Northbeam help:
An export only matches the dashboard when both requests use the same settings and data state.
Dashboard and Export Data Don't Match, read 2026-11-12.The accounting mode decides when revenue is credited, so an export in one mode and a dashboard in another can put the same revenue on different days.
In the Northbeam help:
Our Accounting Modes are settings within the platform that determine when conversion and revenue credit are given.
Accounting Modes, read 2026-11-12.Revenue by channel depends on the attribution model, and a linear model splits credit equally, so an export on another model can show different channel totals.
In the Northbeam help:
Linear divides credit equally across all channels.

How do I check it myself?
If you pull data through Northbeam's export API, compare the request's parameters with the dashboard's settings one by one.
In the Northbeam help:
For the Data Export API, compare the request parameters directly with the dashboard settings.

How does Northbeam work with Feder?
- Connect Northbeam to Feder and it joins your Money apps.
- When you connect Northbeam, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See whether you can trust the numbers in Northbeam, one of your Money apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Northbeam.
