Dashboard Improvements

We've redesigned the connector list to make it easier to find the connector you're looking for, even if you have thousands of connectors. We've enabled searching as well as filtering by status and source type to help you find your way quickly. We've also implemented some significant performance improvements, so the connector list will load quickly.

Fivetran Singapore Servers

We have added new servers in Singapore. We will now sync all Singapore users' data to these servers so that your data remains in the Singapore region.

For more information, see our data residency documentation.

Magic Folder

We have released the beta version of Fivetran Magic Folder connectors. With Magic Folder connectors, you can sync multiple files from your cloud folder as unique tables to your destination. Magic Folder connectors are available for the following sources:

• Box
• Dropbox
• Google Drive

Priority-First Sync

You can now check the priority-first sync progress in your Fivetran dashboard.

If your connector supports priority-first sync, you will see 'Priority-First Sync' displayed as the sync type in the Sync History chart in the dashboard's Status tab when you click the sync bar during the initial sync.

Click View in the sync info pop-up to check the initial sync progress for each table.

Transformations for dbt Core

Setup tests

We added setup tests in the dbt Transformations setup form. When you click Save & Test, Fivetran checks the credentials and connection to your repository.

Previously, Firetran synced projects immediately after you clicked Save & Test. Now Fivetran syncs your project within a few minutes after the setup tests succeed.

Mandrill

We have fixed a bug where the Mandrill server was sending email events data with an invalid TIMESTAMP value with extra digits appended to it. We now consider the first ten digits and discard the extra digits to get the actual TIMESTAMP value.

Pardot

We have added a new optional field Role to the Snowflake destination setup form. If you want Fivetran to use a role other than your default role, enter the role’s name during the destination setup in the Role field. See our setup instructions for more information.

SQL Server

We can now sync tables that do not have all of their columns included in their CDC instances. For these tables, we only sync the columns that are present in the CDC instance. To include excluded columns, delete your old CDC instance and create a new one that includes all columns.

This improvement is applicable for the following SQL Server connectors:

• Generic SQL Server
• Amazon RDS for SQL Server
• Azure SQL Database
• Azure SQL Managed Instance
