Jira

We now support the name subfield in the Customer Request Type field of Jira Service Management (formerly Jira Service Desk).

Kustomer

We have added a new column, satisfaction_level_first_answer, to the CONVERSATION table.

Recurly

We have added a new table, GIFT_CARD. We are gradually rolling out this new feature to all existing connectors. If you'd like to enable the table on your connector, contact our support team.

Shopify

We now sync the properties field as JSON objects. We have added a new column, properties replacing the property_* column in the following tables:

ABANDONED_CHECKOUT_LINE
DRAFT_ORDER_LINE
ORDER_LINE

We now sync the note_attributes field as JSON objects. We have added a new column, note_attributes replacing the note_attribute__* column in the following tables:

ABANDONED_CHECKOUT

ORDER

We will discontinue the properties_* and note_attribute__* columns from the Shopify schema after March 31, 2021. Be sure to update your queries.

We will discontinue the ORDER_NOTE_ATTRIBUTE and DRAFT_ORDER_NOTE_ATTRIBUTE tables after March 31, 2021. Be sure to update your queries.

We have removed the default_address_id column from the CUSTOMER table. You can use the is_default column in the CUSTOMER_ADDRESS table instead. First, re-sync the CUSTOMER_ADDRESS table to populate the is_default column, then update your queries.

We have removed the is_default column from the ADDRESS table.

We have added two new columns, delivery_expectation_range_min and delivery_expectation_range_max, to the ABANDONED_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING_LINE table.

Improvements

Apache Kafka

We now support Protobuf messages.

Apple App Store

The Apple App Store connector now requires two-factor authentication for all connectors, including existing connectors. Learn more in our setup instructions.

AppsFlyer

The AppsFlyer connector now supports syncing Data Locker events from your custom AWS S3 buckets. Previously, we only supported Data Locker events from AppsFlyer-managed buckets. See our setup instructions for more information.

Confluent Cloud

We now support Protobuf messages.

Criteo

The Criteo connector now supports twenty-five global currencies. You can now opt to select one of the following currency codes when you configure the connector:

EUR
USD

BGN
CZK
DKK
HUF
LTL
PLN
RON
SEK
NOK
HRK
RUB
TRY
AUD
BRL
CAD
CNY
HKD
IDR
INR
KRW
NOTE: If you don't select the currency, Fivetran will fetch the reports with the default currency that the Criteo API returns.

Facebook Pages

The Facebook Pages 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. Facebook Pages priority-first syncs fetch the most recent thirty days' worth of data from the page insights tables. To learn more, see our priority-first sync documentation.

Google Ad Manager

We have upgraded our Google Ad Manager connector from version 202005 to 202008 of the Ad Manager API and handled deprecations and updates. Learn more about the deprecations and changes in Google Ad Manager's API documentation.

Google Ads

We now support metadata tables that were previously available in the Google Ads Account connector. You can select or deselect the metadata tables on the Schema tab of your dashboard or select or deselect them during the Schema configuration using our REST API.

You can now configure custom reports in the connector setup form and existing prebuilt reports from the Schema tab of your connector dashboard.

We have changed the configuration format. We have deprecated the Prebuilt configuration type and support it only for backward compatibility, and we will end support soon.

We have replaced the Prebuilt report type with the Custom report type that has a predefined set of selected fields. You can select the tables in all existing prebuilt reports during the Schema configuration.

For more information, see our Google Ads schema documentation and our Google Ads REST API documentation.

These changes only affect new Google Ads connectors created after January 18, 2021. We will migrate existing Google Ads and Google Ads Account connectors to Google Ads connectors in the new format in the future.

Intercom

We have released pre-built, dbt Core-compatible data models for Intercom. Find the models in Fivetran's dbt hub or data models documentation. Learn more about our dbt Core integration in our Transformations for dbt Core documentation*.

By default, we include the LIST_USER_HISTORY table in your syncs. You may observe data discrepancies if you exclude this table.

Jira

Mixpanel

The Mixpanel connector now supports projects that are hosted in the European Union (EU) region. You can now sync event data from data stores located in the EU.

MySQL

We have fixed a bug where TIME values were sometimes synced to the destination incorrectly. Previously, we added a .0 to values with no decimals and dropped the hundredths place for values that did. We now sync TIME values to the destination as they appear in the source:

Source value	Destination value (with bug)	Destination value (fixed)
`23:59:59`	`23:59:59.0`	`23:59:59`
`23:59:59.00`	`23:59:59.0`	`23:59:59.00`
`23:59:59.10`	`23:59:59.1`	`23:59:59.10`

If any values were incorrectly synced prior to this change, you will need to initiate a historical re-sync or table re-sync to correct them.

Pardot

In your connector setup form, you can now limit the REST API calls that your Pardot connector makes per day. By default, the REST API call limit is 150,000 per day.

We have released pre-built, dbt Core-compatible data models for Pardot. Find the model in Fivetran's dbt hub. Learn more about our dbt Core integration in our Transformations for dbt Core documentation*.

The Pardot 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. Pardot's priority-first syncs fetch the most recent 14 days' worth of data from the EMAIL, VISIT, and VISITOR_ACTIVITY tables. To learn more, see our priority-first sync documentation.

PostgreSQL

We now support domains, which are user-defined data types with optional constraints. Learn more in PostgreSQL's domains documentation.

Recurly

We have fixed a bug where the first name and last name values returned by the Recurly API were sometimes not synced to your destination. Trigger a re-sync to ensure data integrity.

REST API Improvements

We have introduced a new (v2) connector configuration return format for the following endpoints:

New REST API Endpoints

We have implemented a new Certificate Management API endpoint for our REST API. You can now leverage the new Approve a connector fingerprint feature.

You can also approve fingerprints automatically by specifying true as a value of the new trust_fingerprints parameter in the existing Connector Management API endpoints:

Support external OAuth credentials to authorize connectors in Public API
