Why did revenue for an earlier day change in Northbeam?
The Northbeam help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: Recent days can still move as new orders, spend and attribution inputs are processed, so a day's revenue can change after it ends.
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?
Recent days can still move as new orders, spend and attribution inputs are processed, so a day's revenue can change after it ends.
In the Northbeam help:
Recent data can change as new orders, spend, and attribution inputs are processed.
Dashboard and Export Data Don't Match, read 2026-11-12.In accrual mode, a touchpoint can keep earning credit for purchases made in the days after it, up to the length of its attribution window, so an earlier day's revenue can grow.
In the Northbeam help:
Credit is given from conversions that occurred within 7 days after the touchpoint.
Attribution Windows, read 2026-11-12.In accrual mode, where attribution windows apply, the same day can show different revenue under a shorter or longer window, so a change of window can look like a change in the day.
In the Northbeam help:
Your revenue will also change based on which attribution window (1d, 30d, 90d, etc.) you’re looking at.

How do I check it myself?
In accrual mode, check which attribution window the revenue figure uses, shown in its name as a number of days or as lifetime.
In the Northbeam help:
Within the dashboard, every metric with an Attribution Window has either a "(d)" or "LTV."

In the Northbeam help:
Cash Snapshot is useful for understanding the amount of money coming in on any given day (cash flow).

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.
