AI Connector Agent Private Preview
The AI Connector Agent is in Private Preview. To enable the agent for your account, contact Fivetran Support.
Fivetran AI Connector Agent provides a fast and flexible way to build connectors for custom data sources and sources that Fivetran does not currently support. Powered by advanced artificial intelligence (AI), the connector agent builds production-ready connectors in minutes, eliminating lengthy development cycles and the need to write integration code from scratch.
Building a custom connector with the AI Connector Agent takes just a few steps. Provide basic details about your data source, such as the name of the data source and API documentation link. The agent analyzes the API, identifies supported endpoints, and gives you control over what to sync. A tailored connection setup experience allows you to configure authentication and connection settings with ease.
You can review and approve the connection schema before you start the initial sync.
The AI Connector Agent supports only SaaS sources that expose data through REST APIs with JSON responses. The connector agent currently supports standard authentication methods, including:
- API key
- HTTP Basic authentication
- HTTP Bearer tokens
- OAuth 2.0
Use cases
The AI Connector Agent is ideal in the following scenarios:
- Fivetran does not have a connector for your source or is unlikely to support it in the near future.
- You do not want us to build a Lite connector for your source or want to avoid using our By Request program.
- You prefer not to develop a connector from scratch or write complex code for data pipelines.
- You use custom entities or tables specific to your implementation and want to sync that data into your destination.
- You have aggressive timelines and do not want to wait for Fivetran to add support for new tables or columns.
Key benefits
Some of the key benefits of using the AI Connector Agent are:
- Accelerates time to value without requiring weeks of custom connector development
- Enables non-developers to build reliable connectors without writing code
- Supports API pagination and nested endpoints to ensure robust data extraction
- Provides precise error handling and logs for easier troubleshooting
Features
Connectors built by the AI Connector Agent support the following core Fivetran features:
| Feature Name | Notes |
|---|---|
| Capture deletes | Supported if the source API provides deletion data. |
| Custom data | Supported if the source API provides custom objects, tables, or fields. |
| Data blocking | Supports column-level and table-level blocking. |
| Column hashing | |
| Re-sync | Supported at the connection level. |
In addition to these core features, the connectors by default support the standard Fivetran capabilities, including:
- Table selection
- Incremental syncs
- Primary key de-duplication
- User-facing logs
Supported deployment model
Connectors built by the AI Connector Agent support the SaaS Deployment model. The agent builds the connector and executes the required API calls within the Fivetran SaaS environment.
Setup guide
Follow our step-by-step AI Connector Agent setup guide to build your connector and connect your data source with Fivetran.
Data privacy
Fivetran ensures that all connectors adhere to its enterprise-grade data privacy standards and framework. For more information about how we maintain data privacy, see our Privacy documentation.
Operational considerations and shared responsibility
When you use the AI Connector Agent, you share responsibility with Fivetran to ensure the connector functions as intended. We support the connector's operation within our platform, and you are responsible for customizing and validating the connector output as needed.
Fivetran responsibilities
Fivetran provides support for issues related to platform execution and service functionality, including:
- Connector failures: We ensure that the connector runs successfully on the Fivetran platform and provide support if it fails to do so.
- Service-related errors: We resolve issues originating from its services that impact the connector.
- Sync errors: We support issues related to sync failures, unexpected data transformations, and authentication errors within the connector’s default configuration.
- Platform-level issues: We address any platform-related problems that affect the connector’s operation.
- Initial operation: We ensure the connector works correctly during its initial operation.
Your responsibilities
You are responsible for the following aspects of the connector:
- Data validation: You must validate the data the connector syncs. Fivetran does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or integrity of the synced data.
- Undocumented errors: Fivetran focuses on handling documented errors, but may offer limited support for undocumented errors based on HTTP status codes and message parsing.
- Connector efficiency and accuracy: Fivetran does not guarantee the connector's performance, efficiency, or precision beyond its ability to run on the platform.
Availability and limitations
- Connectors built using the AI Connector Agent are account-specific, and you cannot reuse them across multiple Fivetran accounts.
- The agent may not be able to build connectors for all data sources. If the agent cannot build your connector, contact our support team or use our Connector SDK to build the connector.
