Do Amazon Ads Performance Scorecards Automatically Update?
← Back to How to Build a Multi-Client Amazon Ads Performance Scorecard
Quick answer
Performance scorecard updates are driven by the data connection behind the dashboard. Scheduled imports and API syncs can refresh Amazon Ads metrics automatically, while a manual scorecard requires regular updates to stay current. The update method affects how quickly spend, sales, and efficiency signals reflect recent activity. For multi-client teams, choosing a dashboard with scheduled imports or API syncs reduces the risk of reporting stale numbers during client reviews and budget conversations.
If your scorecard relies on manual exports, it will only be as fresh as your last update. That doesn’t make it unusable, but it does mean the review process needs a clear refresh cadence.
Automatic updates are a data connection feature, not a scorecard setting
A scorecard is a layout of metrics, but the automatic behavior comes from the data source behind it. Many Amazon Ads dashboards support scheduled imports or API syncs, allowing the underlying numbers to refresh without re-exporting reports every time. A manual scorecard stays static until someone updates the source file.
Signals that a scorecard can update automatically include:
- Scheduled import or daily email import options
- Direct API connection to Amazon Ads
- A visible last-refreshed timestamp tied to the data source
How to keep a manual scorecard current
Manual scorecards work well when updates follow a repeatable process. Export Amazon Ads reports on a fixed cadence, keep a consistent file naming convention, and refresh the scorecard before any client-facing review. This reduces the chance of presenting numbers from two different time periods side by side.
The Amazon Ads Dashboard by Todoza supports CSV, XLSX, and TSV uploads along with scheduled daily email imports, which can remove part of the manual reporting load while keeping metrics current.
When this matters
This matters most when several clients are compared in the same weekly scorecard. Stale data can make a strong account look underperforming or hide a sudden spend spike. A clear update method—automatic or manual—keeps the scorecard useful for prioritization and client conversations without adding unnecessary reporting work.
