Do I Need to Specify Prebuilt Reports When Creating a Connection Using the REST API?

Question

When creating a connection using the Fivetran REST API, do I need to specify prebuilt reports in the configuration?

Environment

Connector: Facebook Ads

Answer

No, we include prebuilt reports by default when you create a Facebook Ads connection, so you don’t need to specify them in your API request.

• To include all prebuilt reports, create the connection normally without specifying them in the request.
• To limit which prebuilt reports are included, create the connection first, then enable or disable tables:
  • In the Schema tab in Fivetran
  • Using the Update a connection schema config endpoint.

You only need to specify custom reports when creating the connection.
