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.

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.
