Sync overview
To capture new records, we incrementally sync the following tables:
ADDRESSBANK_ACCOUNTCHECKSLETTERPOSTCARDSELF_MAILERTEMPLATETEMPLATE_VERSION
We also re-import the following tables once a week to capture updates and deletes:
BANK_ACCOUNTCHECKSLETTERPOSTCARDSELF_MAILERTEMPLATE
Schema information
This schema applies to all Lob connectors.
Custom data
The Lob connector extracts custom data from source tables into separate destination tables.
| Source Table | Destination Table |
|---|---|
ADDRESS | ADDRESS_METADATA |
BANK_ACCOUNT | BANK_ACCOUNT_METADATA |
CHECK | CHECK_METADATA, CHECK_MERGE_VARIABLE |
LETTER | LETTER_METADATA, LETTER_MERGE_VARIABLE |
POSTCARD | POSTCARD_METADATA, POSTCARD_MERGE_VARIABLE |
TEMPLATE | TEMPLATE_METADATA |
TEMPLATE_VERSION | TEMPLATE_VERSION_MERGE_VARIABLE |
We store the custom field name and value (JSON string) in the name and value columns of the destination table. The table also contains a foreign key column to the original table from which we extracted the custom data.
Limitations
We do not support Webhook events.
