You can now select and deselect tables to be synced on the Schema tab of the connector details page in your Fivetran dashboard.

October 2023

We have changed the connector type of our Slack connector from Lite to Standard. New connectors created on or after November 1, 2023, use a new schema. As part of this upgrade, we have made the following improvements and schema changes:

We have updated our sync strategy for the conversations.history and conversations.replies endpoints. We now sync all the conversations from both endpoints into the MESSAGE table and its child tables:
- MESSAGE_BLOCK
- MESSAGE_BLOCK_ELEMENT
- MESSAGE_REACTION
- MESSAGE_REACTION_USER
- MESSAGE_REPLY_USER
- MESSAGE_FILE
- MESSAGE_ATTACHMENT
Previously, we synced the data into the MESSAGE and MESSAGE_REPLY tables and their child tables.
We have added the following new tables:
- CHAT_PERMALINK
- PIN
- REMOTE_FILE
- REMOTE_FILE_CHANNEL
- TEAM_BILLING
- TEAM_PREFERENCE
We have renamed the following tables:
- USERGROUP table to USER_GROUP
- USERGROUP_PREFS_CHANNEL table to USER_GROUP_PREFS_CHANNEL
- USERGROUP_PREFS_GROUP table to USER_GROUP_PREFS_GROUP
- USERGROUP_USER table to USER_GROUP_USER
We have added three new columns to the USERS table:
- locale
- profile_api_app_id
- profile_bot_id
NOTE: This schema change applies to both existing and new connectors.
