Transformations for dbt Core

Auto-pause failing dbt Core transformations

We’ve introduced an auto-pause feature for dbt Core transformations that encounter repeated failures. This helps prevent resource waste and reduces unnecessary alerts from ongoing issues.

How it works

If a dbt Core transformation run fails consecutively due to factors outside of Fivetran’s control (such as issues with your data, configuration, or environment), the system will automatically pause the transformation if both of the following conditions are met:

• The transformation has failed more than 10 times in a row (i.e., on the 11th consecutive failure)
• At least 24 hours have passed since the first failure in the sequence

Key details

• Only failures caused by factors external to Fivetran (such as your data, configuration, or environment) will trigger the auto-pause mechanism
• System-level or transient errors don’t count toward the consecutive failure threshold
• When a transformation is auto-paused, you’ll see an alert on your dashboard
• If you’ve subscribed to transformation notifications, you’ll also receive an email
• The failure counters reset after the transformation is paused

Feature availability

This feature is being rolled out gradually to all users over the next few days.

You can manually resume paused transformations through the Fivetran dashboard once you’ve resolved the underlying issues.

Schema changes

Drata

Factbird

Float

Pylon Support Platform

Samsara

Shopify

We've updated the Shopify connector schema. The new schema only applies to Fivetran accounts created on or after August 1, 2025.

Tableau

TikTok Organic

Workday Financial Management

We have fixed a bug and rectified the values of the included_ledger_account_id and included_ledger_account_code columns of the ALL_INCLUDED_LEDGER_ACCOUNT table. We have also removed the incorrect records in the ALL_INCLUDED_LEDGER_ACCOUNT table in your destination.

Workday HCM

We no longer sync data for the time_calculation_tag_code column in the CALCULATED_TIME_BLOCK table. We now sync this data in the new CALCULATION_TAG table, which is a child table of CALCULATED_TIME_BLOCK.

Xero

We have added a new column, item_id, to the INVOICE_LINE_ITEM table.

Improvements

Algolia

The Algolia connector now supports priority-first sync. Priority-first syncs fetch your most recent data first so that it's quickly ready for you to use.

Datadog

We now capture all the data of custom fields returned by the Datadog API’s Incidents endpoint in the INCIDENT_FIELD table.

Email

We have made the following changes to the connection setup form:

• Added support to configure archive patterns per table. This is useful when an archive folder contains files following different naming patterns, allowing you to route each pattern to a specific destination table based on its pattern.
• Renamed the Archive Folder Pattern field to Archive File Pattern.

For more information, see our setup instructions

Factbird

We have changed our sync strategy for Factbird connections:

• We now sync historical data for your connection starting from January 1, 2019.
• We now sync data for the OEE table daily.
• We now incrementally sync the BATCH table and its child tables to capture newly added and updated records.

FTP

We have improved the setup experience for FTP connections.

• Added a new configuration option, Run connection test to perform an intermediate test during configuration
• Added a new configuration option, Preview Files to perform an intermediate test during configuration
• Added support for displaying fields based on the file type
• Added a new field, Quote character, to use an enclosing character
• Reorganised fields to make the setup form more intuitive
• Removed Infer as an option from the File Type field
• Removed the Enable Advanced Options toggle
• Changed the Null Sequence field to a toggle
• For the Delimiter character(s) field, we now use , as the default value
• For the Line Separator field, we now use \n as the default value

For more information, see our setup instructions and REST API configuration.

We are gradually rolling out these changes to all existing connections.

Google Ad Manager

Starting on August 11, 2025, new connections created in the dashboard become multi-reporting connections.

Google Campaign Manager 360

You can now choose several Floodlight Configuration IDs in the Google Campaign Manager 360 FLOODLIGHT and PATH_TO_CONVERSION reports. We are gradually rolling out this change to all existing connections.

Starting from August 11, 2025, newly created connections will support adding multiple reports. For more information, see the Google Campaign Manager 360 setup guide.

Marketo

We have made changes to our Marketo connection setup form and REST API parameters to support the Marketo SOAP API deprecation. These changes won't impact how your connection syncs data to your destination.

We have removed the Provide SOAP API Credentials for BULK API Quota Estimation toggle and the following related fields from the connection setup form:

• SOAP API User Id
• SOAP API Encryption Key
• SOAP API Endpoint

Similarly, we have discontinued the following parameters from the REST API Configuration:

• user_id
• encryption_key
• soap_uri

REST API Improvements

Deprecated config parameters for Google Campaign Manager 360

As of August 11, 2025, the Fivetran REST API no longer supports the following configuration parameters for Google Campaign Manager 360 connections:

• conversion_dimensions
• custom_floodlight_variables
• dimensions
• enabble_all_dimension_combinations
• metrics
• per_interaction_dimensions
• report_configuration_ids
• report_type

We will fully sunset these parameters on November 11, 2025.
