Date Ranges ​

LightLead supports two ways to define a report period: preset ranges and custom dates.

Preset ranges ​

These are dynamic periods that are automatically recalculated relative to the current date.

all_timeAll timeFrom the earliest available date – today

Custom range ​

Defined explicitly with start and end dates:

json
{
  "start": "2026-01-01",
  "end": "2026-01-31"
}

Rules ​

  • Date format: YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601)
  • start is included in the range (00:00:00)
  • end is included in the range (23:59:59)
  • start can't be later than end
  • The maximum range length depends on the plan (see Limits)
  • The earliest available date depends on the source — not all sources store data for every period

Comparison with the previous period ​

When using comparison with the previous period, the system automatically picks an equivalent-length period:

  • last_7_days → the previous 7 days (8–14 days ago)
  • this_month → the previous month
  • A custom 10-day range → the previous 10 days

Data update date ​

It's important to distinguish between:

  • Event date — when the click/impression/conversion happened (from the source's API)
  • Load date — when the data landed in LightLead

By default, all reports are built by event date.

Time zones ​

Day boundaries are determined by the time zone of the source account. More details in Time Zones.
