How Does Fivetran Handle Custom Field Name Changes?

Question

If I rename a custom field, how will Fivetran handle the change? For example, will Fivetran create a new column or perform a historical re-sync?

Environment

Connector: HubSpot

Answer

When you change a custom field's name, we sync all data following the change to a new column reflecting the updated name. We maintain the old column and its values, though we populate it with null values for new records.

We don't perform a historical re-sync when you update a custom field's name. To backfill the new column's data, do the following:

1. In Fivetran, go to your HubSpot connector page.
2. Select the Schema tab.
3. Hover over the applicable table's row, then click Resync.
4. In the confirmation pop-up window, click Start re-sync.
