Release Notes
August 2023
We can now sync packed JSON files. We have added a new drop-down menu, JSON Delivery Mode, to the connector setup form. The drop-down menu provides you the option to choose how Fivetran should handle your JSON data. For more information, see our documentation.
We now support custom line separators for CSV files. You can specify a custom line separator in the Line Separator field of the connector setup form. For more information, see our documentation.
We now support multi-character delimiters for CSV files. You can specify a multi-character delimiter in the Delimiter field of the connector setup form. For more information, see our documentation.

We now support syncing XML files to your destination. We have added a new option, xml, to the File Type drop-down menu of the connector setup form. We load your XML data into the _data column without flattening it. For more information, see our documentation.

We are gradually rolling out this feature to all our existing connectors.

We have released the beta version of Fivetran Magic Folder connectors. With Magic Folder connectors, you can sync multiple files from your cloud folder as unique tables to your destination. Magic Folder connectors are available for the following sources:
October 2020
We have a fixed a bug that caused Int32 and Int64 values to sync incorrectly from Parquet files. Previously, our syncs did not include the scale of these values (for example, a value of 85.00 was loaded into the destination as 8500000). We now scale these values correctly. If any of your Int32 or Int64 values were incorrectly synced prior to this fix, you will need to initiate a re-sync to correct them.
August 2020
We now support syncing headerless delimited format files (CSV, TSV, log) for the following file connectors:
We create generic column names for CSV files without a header line. Learn more in our Files connector documentation. This feature is in beta and available to all connectors.

The following file connectors can now sync Parquet files:
We support Parquet format 2.4.0. This feature is in BETA.
